On what are the rules today we were talking about “in-laws”… Do they stay at your house from time to time? And when they do – why do they all get up so early, as if they were at home???
Surely they abide by YOUR rules in YOUR house? Slamming cupboards and looking for keys at 6am… Who’s in charge??
Roy, Gregg and Pete joined Big John @ Breakfast this morning. Roy has the most beautiful eyes. I’m in love!
We found Pete’s fave game, guessing TV show themes. Gregg told us he got sacked from being a security man at an airport. While he was on duty he tried beating his highest Tetris score not realising the big boss has walked past him, and onto the plane and back. He was sacked on the spot! And Roy sang us a song using Hallamsters organ, listen…
Other big news this morning, BRITNEY SPEARS IS COMING TO SHEFFIELD!!! She was the best selling female artist of the first decade of the 21st Century, sold over 100 million albums worldwide and is the 3rd most mentioned celebrity on the internet and is coming to the steel city Saturday 5th November! Amazing!!

Britney Spears – The Femme Fatale Tour in YOUR HOME CITY. Whoop!!
What do you do for sunburn? Big John got his neck burnt yesterday at Doncaster’s Race For Life, there’s a real bad T-Shirt line. The oldest man in South Yorkshire phoned with a bit of advice, rub yoghurt into it!
Plain yogurt was his suggestion, ummmmmm OK Wazzock Bob! Or May be just a bit of after sun???
I went to eat my banana the other day and it had a sticker on saying… ‘Made in Brazil’. BRAZIL!!!
How the eck does a banana get from Brazil to here, how long does it take AND how come they don’t go off during the journey. Immediately I went to Google then…I realised… I CAN’T FIND THIS OUT NOW. I have a ban placed Monday-Friday every week by Big John, that I’m not allowed to use the internet to find things out. Which is why that was one of my questions this morning.
A lovely lady called Liz rang who actually supplies bananas to supermarkets!! Well, she doesn’t, the company she works for does. She said it takes 21days for them to come on a boat and they keep them warm so they are still think they are somewhere hot and sunny. Then they go yellow in 2-3 days when they arrive, they are originally green! Wow!
Other questions that have puzzled me this week include… Can you get crickets in England? Normally you hear them on holiday but I’m sure I heard them over Bolehill Park when I walked my dog. Tim from Lizard Lounge in Hillsborough supplies crickets, he said they are 3 different types, one of them actually bred in England! That’s probably what I heard.
My last question has been driving me crazy, I thought I was going mad. On Penistone Rd, as you drive into Sheffield near Mecca bingo, there’s a tower. Sometimes it’s high, and then other times its low! What's it for? It is actually moving and thanks for telling me why. It has gas in it! When the tower is high it’s full of gas and when it’s low it’s nearly empty! As if!! A tower of gas!
This is what you can look forward to, next week on Big John @ Breakfast...
Ben Hampshire from Barnsley was the lucky fella that won 4 tickets to Britain’s Got Talent at the weekend. He’s taking his wife, sister, and her fella. And is very much lucking forward to meeting Jean Martin! He didn’t really say that, I made that up. It’s Steven Hall the dancing man he wants to meet. Again I’m lying.
Have you ever noticed in Rihanna’s song California King Bed, she sings the lyrics…
'In this California King Bed, We’re 10,000 miles apart!'
That’s a big bed! A where the eck is 10,000 miles from Sheffield?? Calais? NO! Athens? NO! 10,000 miles from here is Melbourne! Like the other side of the world!
Does that mess with anyone else head??? It doesn’t seem far enough???
Jason Donovan started off rubbish at the yes/no game earlier. Big John asks the questions… the celeb can only answer yes or no… Big John guesses who it is, simple right? Well not for Jason Donovan! He tried putting on a dodgy accent to throw us off as well. I can forgive him, he was my first childhood crush.
He told us he DOES get bored of doing the same show every night, He’s currently touring in the ‘Sound of Music’, he’s just become a Dad for the 3rd time which is the best thing EVER and he PROMISED me that I can be on stage with him when he’s at the Arena for the ‘Here & Now tour’ at the end of June. Well he kind of promised…
The question that got everyone going this morning was…
From Anonymous... At a family BBQ at the weekend, my boyfriend’s brother made a pass at me, we were all very drunk, obviously I pushed him away. He apologised the next day, but do I need to tell my boyfriend?
What are the rules, would you tell? Darren in Shiregreen said it may be a trap, her boyfriend might have asked his brother to do it to see what her reaction was! Oooooooow cheeky!
What would you do???
On TUESDAY: The Celebrity Yes No Game returns… One famous person on the phone saying YES or NO to Big John’s questions – Can you guess who it is before Big John @ Breakfast?
Tony from Hollyoaks surprised Michelle on the phone – he was once in Eastenders, and is now the longest serving actor in Hollyoaks. They even call him Ken Barlow…
Tim Lovejoy from “Something For The Weekend” told Big John that if he had to take one of his co–hosts (and the show) to the USA, he’d pick chef Simon over Louise Redknapp…
Michelle learnt the meaning of “hieroglyphics” from an 8 year old caller…
Kerrie from ITV Weather called to tell us that it’s too soon to predict if summer will be good…
and Hallamster asked caller Kim if she was “regular”, and he didn’t mean a regular caller. He really has no concept of overstepping the mark does he?
NEXT WEEK
It’s a rollover in Hallamster’s Organ at 7.30 on Monday morning… What’s this song?
There's been a wardrode malfunction on the take that tour. While ROBBIE WILLIAMS was singing his first song Let Me Entertain You…his TROUSERS split. We see flesh! Nice!
He told Cardiff's Millennium Stadium the other night: "I'm so excited I've split my kecks."
he carried on singing in his tattered trousers - then pulled them off after singing Angels.
A comedy duo are splitting up after two decades performing, would you believe it, Matt Lucas and David Walliams!
They are making separate new shows for the BBC. They had been due to write a second series of Come Fly With Me, but that's reportedly been scrapped.
David's now developing a classroom comedy, and Matt is doing a comedy show called 'The Matt Lucas Awards'.
It’s a cabaret style show, with 3 celebs giving nominations on certain subjects, not normal awards..
Ive got me hands on the pilot, the celebs here are Dave Gorman, Ruby Wax and Jack Whitehall what do you think?
Ever heard of Hieroglyphics? I hadn’t… Until this morning.
8 year old Mitchell told me that it’s an old Egyptian alphabet. I thought it was the lifting of something, like on fork lift trucks or the thing that lowers buses to the ground, apparently that’s hydraulics. This show is just one big lesson for me!
The surprise guest this week was… Presenter of Sundays morning’s SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND TIM LOVEJOY. We are asking on Facebook- Fit or Not Fit? Ummm?? Join us on Facebook.
We also asked “Can you get drunk at your own wedding?”
On WEDNESDAY Someone will be winning those KINGS OF LEON TICKETS, and it’s the Spelling Test! … Have some Big John @ Breakfast when you wake up!

The questions I had for South Yorkshire this week were…
Is MI5 and MI6 just an American thing or do all countries have them?
When does spring finish and summer start?
How come you can put frozen bread in a toaster and the wetness doesn’t make it explode?
Big John and Producer James ban me from using Google Monday-Friday, these questions are what I’ve been wanting to know the answers to. Thanks for all your calls we had Lee the electrician from Aston, a real policeman! A sergeant called Martin and Olivia told me about when Spring finishes.
He goes with the answers…
MI5 is British apparently! Wow! They have offices in London and other countries do have them, they just don’t call it that. Spring finishes the 21st June and summer starts (same every year apparently) AND toasters… the wetness from the bread doesn’t touch the electrical opponents at the side of the machines, so it doesn’t fuse it! Wow!!
I’ve been sent a preview of Katy Perrys new song and video, is gonna get some people very annoyed but leave others with a cheeky smile.
There has been a lot of talk in the news this week about music videos being too raunchy for young kids to watch, so with Katy Perry flashing a bit of flesh in this video what do you think?
It’s an 80s style vid, at the beginning she’s dressed as a nerd with lots of braces and nerdy glasses that are held together with a plaster, she’s a bit hung-over and tries to remember what she did the night before… Here’s a tiny bit…
