Why do Zebras stand near picket fences???

Hallamster has a theory on picket fences and Big John tells why you HAVE to listen tomorrow…



A MUST listen - 8am tomorrow by BigJohnHallamFM


If you had a celebrity on the phone and had to guess who it was BUT… all they were allowed to answer with, was 'yes or no' to your questions... How long do you think it would take to guess the person???

There's another celebrity lined up to speak to Big John @ Breakfast tomorrow, all Big John knows is that the person is 'famous and funny'.

The fastest Big John has guessed so far was 13.8seconds when we spoke to Boy George and he let the side down when it took 6minutes and 33seconds to guess Dom Joly was on the phone. Let's hope it doesn't take that long tomorrow!

Wow! by BigJohnHallamFM


NEXT WEEK – The Saturdays join Big John @ Breakfast… and YOU too – you’re welcome!

We have a cot!

9 and a bit weeks left now. The last 6 months went sooooooooo slow. Feels like I’ve been pregnant FOREVER! Now, these last couple of weeks seem to be speeding up. Eeeeeek. We are beginning to set bits up for the dog, so she gets used to. Like the cot and moving the bedroom around. She blatantly knows something is going on.

To get her ready we’ve been playing baby crying noises and carrying a doll around like a baby. If anyone happens to walk by our terraced house and happens to see us gooooin’ and ahhhhhhhing at a doll they will think we have gone nuts! It seems to be working because she doesn’t react to the crying or carrying the baby anymore.

Here’s the cot we put up last night….

If you are pregnant, let me know how you’re getting on! Join me on Facebook, I'm 'Michelle Mary Mustard' or on Twitter search @michellemustard.

Blade or Owl???

Blade our Owl?? Show your support!!! Click below to find out how…

Did you miss these fitties from the weekend?

They were on during the ad break for ‘X Factor’ on Saturday, a bunch of fit farmers started singing to us to advertise yoghurt. These lads have been talked about more than the X Factor contestants. They are called ‘The Churned’, they auditioned for advert last year in an X Factor style contest.

I can’t stop looking… They are beautiful!

Theres been lots of rumours over night that Beyonce is not actually pregnant. People are saying that she’s wearing a fake baby bump, because she’s got a surrogate mum. Now her publicist is saying what a load of rubbish. What a stupid rumour.
It’s after she was on an Australian TV talk show where when she sat down in the chair, it was like her bump went inside itself.



What do you think???

Guess the Celebrity...

It was my turn to guess the celebrity on the phone today, guess who it was... Lovely Gok Wan. Not Will Mellor but still a nice surprise.

Producer James is still a little bit quiet about Tuesday’s Big John @ Breakfast… He has apologised, but the facts remain: JEDWARD surprised Big John in the Celebrity Yes No game on Tuesday… Having said that – they seem to be like Marmite – so at least SOMEONE enjoyed it! Would that be you? (OK, don’t answer that)
