The boys are away and Steve is looking after things ...

Big John is moving house this week and Producer James is spending some time with the family while his girls are off school.  So this week it's Steve White and I looking after things while they're away.

Have a nice week off if you're not working and don't forget to keep listening for your chance to meet The Wanted up close and personal!

Big John @ Breakfast on the Buses!

Bloomin' brilliant!  We're trying to spread the word of Big John @ Breakfast because Hallamster has spent all of our budget.  Everyone is doing a great job, we've had loads of calls, texts and photos.  Al from First Buses rang this morning and 200 buses are going to have HUGE stickers in the front window of the buses.  The stickers are just under a metre squared and they're going to be upstairs at the front of the bus.  Look out for them around Sheffield and let us know if see one!  We even had somebody e-mail in with a ringtone that they've made which sings Big John @ Breakfast - it was a guy called Tony...

Well done to Emma Fowler, she won tickets to go and see Skyfall at Cineworld and she's off to a special themed Bond night at Ice Sheffield on Sunday night.

I'm out in Sheffield this Saturday night for my boyfriend's birthday so if you're out come and say hello!

Have a good weekend.

THANK YOU!

If you missed the show this morning then Hallamster has been blowing all of the budget!  We want to spread the word of Big John @ Breakfast and you've been doing a grand job helping us.  Helen's bakery has invented the Big John @ Breakfast sandwich and we're up on the menu.  It sounds AMAZING 4 rashers of bacon for a start.  Wazzock Bob rang us to tell us that he's written Big John @ Breakfast on the back of his van in the dirt.  Rainbow Forge Primary School made us a banner for outside their School.  Fancie Cupcakes are making hundreds of special Big John @ Breakfast cupcakes.  Wendy's in Netherthorpe doing Big John @ Breakfast fish and chips mmmm and Al from First Buses might be sticking Big John @ Breakfast huge stickers on 250 buses - we'll find out tomorrow.  Thank everyone!

Do you want to win tickets to Yorkshire Wildlife Park?  Make sure you're listening to Hallamster at 7:30 - he's pretending to be a bat for Hallamween.

And tomorrow you can win tickets to see Skyfall at Cineworld and see The Sheffield Steeldogs at Ice Sheffield this sunday night.

See you in the morning and thanks for all your help - Janine xx

This is my favourite video EVER

These are the highlights from this morning's show when Big John completed his forfeit to massage the oldest man in South Yorkshire ....

It was Big John versus Janine last week and for the first time ever I beat him! So I set a forfeit for him to massage the oldest man in South Yorkshire and here is the video, look at how much he's cringing! It's brilliant! xx

Massages, nakedness and One Direction!?!

What a busy morning! 

Well done to Tracey in Maltby, she won tickets to Yorkshire Wildlife Park with our Hallamster this morning.  If you want go for free make sure you're listening tomorrow morning at 7:30am.

I met One Direction yesterday! It was so surreal seeing them in person. Niall came over straight away and was really friendly, Harry has beautiful eyes, Louis was really down to earth and Zayn was sweet! Big John blatently took the mick out of the chat I had with them but he's obviously just jealous! Here are the boys ....

If you missed it make sure you're listening after 6am tomorrow morning.

So ... I can't wait for tomorrow!  Finally Big John has to do a forfeit and I chose it.  He has to massage the oldest man in South Yorkshire skin on skin for 5 minutes with oil ha ha haaaa.  Wazzock Bob will be on the show tomorrow morning.

Skin on skin baby ....

Big John has to massage the oldest man in South Yorkshire this Wednesday.  Wazzock Bob is coming in to have a lovely relaxing massage with oils.  John is going to cringe so much and I can't wait to see his face after he put me through the spider ordeal.  If you're thinking why?!  It's his forfeit for losing the challenge last week to make complete strangers laugh the quickest on the phone.  I'm so happy, I can't stop grinning.

Today is the day I get to go one on one with One Direction.  I don't know what to wear, I'm SO giddy!  I can't believe I'm getting to hang out with them.  I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Did you hear Hallamster being a bat this morning?!  He hung upside down in his cage and spoke lyrics at us.  If you can guess the song correctly you and the family can go to Yorkshire Wildlife Park and adopt an animal too!

At the weekend I went to a Fancy Dress party as Audrey Hepburn.  Isn't it funny that at the start of the night you look all dressed up and at the end sometimes you look a little bit stupid ...


Enough said ....

See you in the morning xxx

I can't believe I've won!!!!!

Were you listening this morning after 8:30?!  I'm so excited because for the 1st time EVER I've beaten Big John at a challenge.  Not only will I get to meet One Direction but Big John finally has to do a forfeit and on Monday we'll tell you what it is.  The challenge was to make people laugh as quickly as possible on the phone - complete strangers that is!  It was tough and to be honest there was only a couple of seconds in it but finally I've beaten him!



On Monday you can win tickets to Yorkshire Wildlife Park just before half term.  Make sure you're listening at 7:30 for your chance to win!

I've got the Google Ban over the weekend so if yuo can help me with my questions I'd be very grateful - thanks!  I'll ask you at 8 o'clock so ring me if you know the answer 0114 221 4444.

Have a lovely weekend!

The winner gets to meet a group of the most talked about celebrities!

WHO IS IT?!?!?!?!?!!??!  I need to know ... Big John and I have a challenge to make strangers laugh ASAP on the phone.  Big John is currently winning and beating me by 2 seconds!  This is a close competition ...  The loser gets a forfeit and I hope it isn't me this time.  I've lost both of the other challenges.

It's your last chance tomorrow morning to win tickets to see John Bishop with our Hallamster.  All you need to win is a joke and a phone and the tickets could be yours.

This morning Kirsty picked Jamie to go on a date and they're off to La Mamas for their date tonight.  They sound like a good match because she likes big muscles and nice arms and he goes to the gym.  Well it's a start isn't it?  You can register to play now www.hallamfm.co.uk/date as long as you're over 18 and single you can have a go and you'll get treated like a VIP.

Make sure you listen tomorrow morning to find out who wins the First Laugh Challenge, find out if Kirsty & Jamie have fallen in love and we'll be singing you the Friday song to get you in the mood for the weekend.

Hasta manana - Janine xx

Double beaten and licking my wounds ...

Today is not a good day for me ... Firstly I lost the Spelling Test at 8 o'clock this morning and it was a shameful score James had 2 points and I had -4.  However our weekly totals are 3 all so I just have to make sure that I win next week to keep me in the lead. 

Then Big John beat me in the challenge this morning for our 'First Laugh' competition.  The idea of the game is making a complete stranger on the phone laugh and making them laugh first.  This morning John pretended to fall of his chair to make a lady laugh and I randomly had to speak to an Ice Rink.  So I pretended I was scared of ice-skates and asked if I could tie jumpers around my feet to have a skate.  John made the lady laugh in 12 seconds and it took me 35 seconds.  So far John is in the lead by 6 seconds.

Do you want to see John Bishop at the weekend?  He's on at the Motorpoint Arena and we have tickets for you to go this Sunday.  Listen to Hallamster at 7:30 and rustle up your best jokes for us.

See you in the morning and wish me luck!

Day 1 on the First Laugh challenge!

If you missed the show yesterday there was an announcement made passed down from management about a challenge that Big John and I have been given.  We have to call strangers and make them laugh on the phone as soon as possible.  It's harder than it sounds!  So this morning Big John tried a horse joke and made a gentleman laugh in 39 seconds.  Then it was my turn ... so I spoke to a guy and pretended I knew him and started saying the Scat Man words at him.  He thought I was someone he knew called Josie and I got a laugh out of him in 22 seconds - YIPPEE!  So far I'm one up on him.  We've got to total the seconds up at the end of the week and the person with the least seconds wins!  Apparently there's a once in a lifetime opportunity for the winner and a forfeit for the loser.  I'm staying positive but I'm bracing myself for the forfeit - I always lose!

Do you want to see John Bishop live at the Motorpoint Arena at the end of the month?  We have a pair of tickets to giveaway so make sure you're listening to Hallamster every day at 7:30 for your chance to win.

Tomorrow morning it's the Spellings Test!  The kids from Thurgoland C.E Primary School will be spelling words for us and we have to guess what they're spelling.  It's not how to spell it's what they're spelling.  Play along at home with us at 8 tomorrow and give us a ring if we get stuck please!

See you in the morning and if you have any advise on what I can do on tomorrow's call leave me a comment please!

Janine xx

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Why?  Why do we get these stupid announcements and why do I get roped into it?  All weekend I've been secretly smiling about whatever Big John's announcement was and thinking - glad it's nothing to do with me.  BUT it is something to do with me.  We've been set a challange, the Last Laugh comedy festival is on in Sheffield and we have to have the first laugh.  What?!  Well basically we have to ring strangers and make them laugh on the phone the first person to make them laugh wins.  Big John is going to win AGAIN and I'm going to look like a chump .... The winner wins a once in a lifetime opportunity!  Please, please, please let me win!

Every morning this week you could win tickets to see John Bishop at the Motorpoint Arena.  Make sure you're listening to Hallamster at 7:30am every day for your chance to win.

Tomorrow morning we have a celebrity on our 'Yes No Game' at 8 o'clock.  Big John has a celebrity lined up on the satelitte that Producer James has set up for him and he has to guess who they are.  Big John can only ask them questions they can answer yes or no to and the clock is ticking for him to guess who they are.

See you in the morning!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing ...

This morning we caught up with Hazel from Hackenthorpe, she chose line 3 and regretted it and wished that she'd chosen line 1.  They got on but she said there just wasn't that spark between them.  You can't manufacture a spark can you?!  Oh well at least they enjoyed the meal at the Hui Wei in Sheffield.

This morning we had Lucy Spraggan on the show.  She was telling us that she changed her song choice last minute on the X Factor last weekend.  They asked her to perform an All Star song but she wasn't feeling it and changed it to one of her own songs.  Make sure you support our Sheffield girl tomorrow night and vote to keep her in.

Next week on the show you can win tickets to see John Bishop with Hallamster at 7:30 just get your joke book at the ready and the tickets could be yours!



If you're staying in tonight there are good guests on Alan Carr's Chatty Man show.  Cheryl Cole will be talking about her ex-husband Ashley, Dougie from Mcfly is on and so is Dara O'Briain and Leona Lewis.

Have a lovely weekend!

Sheffield's Lucy Spraggan!

Tomorrow morning Lucy Spraggan will be on the show ahead of the X Factor live show this Saturday.  She's in Tulisa's category and she's a brilliant singer/song writer and we've all got to get behind her so we get a South Yorkshire winner this year!

This morning Hazel was choosing from three guys and she got rid of Jamie on line 1 because he was a climber!  The thing is you could regret a decision like that, imagine being in a department store and you need something from the top shelf?  It's guys like that who can help you in that sort of situation - just saying ...  She chose Jayson line three and she's off on her date tonight to Hui Wei in Sheffield.  Find out if they got on at 8 tomorrow morning.

You can win tickets to see Alan Davies tomorrow morning at 7:30 with Hallamster.  He's on at City Hall as part the Last Laugh Comedy festival this Saturday night.



If you like to get in the mood for the weekend we sing the Friday song on the show, we even sing it at 6am, that's dedication for you!

Have a lovely day and we'll see you tomorrow.

I've let the side down ....

This morning I lost to Producer James on the Spellings Test - the score was zero to Producer James and minus three to me.  Epic failed on my part.  It was Swallownest Primary School that came on to spell some words for us to guess.  We got stuck on Melody's word and even you couldn't get it right.  If you missed the answer she was trying to spell 'myself.'

Tomorrow you can win tickets to see Alan Davies City Hall on Saturday at 7:30 with Hallamster.  This morning he was asking for lightbulb jokes and Andy came on and kept messing it up.  They'll be another theme tomorrow and if your joke wins you get the tickets.

Date or Ditch is back tomorrow!  It's the girls choosing this time and she'll be under pressure to pick the right man in 60 seconds.  She'll have 3 men to choose from and they'll be trying to impress her with the little time they have.

We gave tickets away to see the Blades play Oldham this morning.  Make sure you listen tomorrow morning after 7 for some more instant winning.

Right, I'll see you in the morning!

Enjoy your day - Janine xx

ps I'm off on a double date with Big John tonight to see Michael McIntyre I'll tell you about it tomorrow ...

Tuesday, 9 October 2012

Lawson were here!

This morning Lawson dropped in to see us!  They were a lot of fun and we even got one of their fans in on the show - Lucy from Chesterfield.  She was so excited - look at her happy face!


We gave Ryan from Chesterfield a quiz to make sure he was still true to his roots and hadn't gone all showbiz on us, he passed most of the questions.  Their new album Chapman Square is out on the 22nd of October.

Tomorrow it's the Spellings Test from our School of the Week Swallownest Primary School.  They'll be spelling words for Producer James and I to spell and we'll both be competing to win!  Sometimes we get stuck so if you can help us out and preferably give me the point that would be great!  Ha!

We have tickets to win to see Alan Davies all this week with Hallamster at 7:30 and all you need is a good joke up your sleeve.

See you in the morning.

What a busy morning!

It was all going on today ... Sarah managed to win tickets to see Cheryl Cole by getting the last digit of her phone number right.  Big John has Cheryl's number and now I can officially tell you it ends in a one!  Sarah's going to take her niece to see her at the Motorpoint Arena tomorrow night in Sheffield.

We had a call from Corinne this morning and she had a really romantic weekend!  Her boyfriend took her to a hotel and they stayed in the honeymoon suite, then he took her to her old primary school where they first met and they had a tour by their old head teacher and then she left them alone and he got down on one knee and proposed!  How lovely!!!!  E-mail me if you had a lovely romantic proposal janine.jones@hallamfm.co.uk

Pat from Worksop won our final brand new iPhone - she didn't sound very sure when she answered her phone and a little bit jubious and as soon as she'd clocked on it was Big John she was really happy!

I'm off to see Sinister at Cineworld tonight and it's really scary ...... wish me luck!

See you in the morning.

Janine xx

ps lots of people have been talking about Louis on the X Factor after last night's saga. This is when one of the producers were chatting to Louis when Carolynne was performing her final song. Make of it what you will...

Friday, 5 October 2012

Do you want tickets to see Cheryl!?

Cheryl Cole is playing at the Motorpoint Arena on Tuesday night and we could get you in to see her 'A Million Lights' Tour!  Whatever you do make sure you're listening at 8 o'clock this Monday and you and a friend could be going to see her!

Well done to Colin Bacon from Donny - he won the iPhone 5 this morning and there's still one more that you can get your hands on over the weekend.  Listen out for the question to win!

This morning on Date or Ditch unfortunately it was the end of the road for Stephen and Alison.  By the sounds of things he wasn't her type but they had a good night and have swapped numbers as friends.  Whether they actually speak to each other in another thing but at least they had a great night at the new Nandos on Eccy Road!

Have a lovely weekend and we'll be back on Monday - Janine xx

ps ladies if you missed the naked photo of Louis Smith the Olympic gymnast (he's on Strictly tonight) then here he is - hubba huuba!  He did this photo for charity and I like to think to appease us too ......

Thursday, 4 October 2012

Will they get on tonight?

So will Stephen the courier wooo the lovely Alison tonight?  They met on Date or Ditch this morning and he picked Alison on line 2, he said he didn't even need to ask her a question because he could just tell that they would get on because she's bubbly.  They're both off to the new Nandos on Eccy Road in Sheffield so we'll see how they got on in the morning at 8 when we give them a ring!

Have you heard Hallamster's competition to win Michael McIntyre tickets to see him next Wednesday?  We've got our last pair of tickets to giveaway tomorrow and if you can suggest a good joke that makes Hallamster laugh then they're yours.  This mornings joke had to involve what's black and white and red all over?!  Gill won by saying a panda in a hot bath!

We have the last iPhone 5 to giveaway in the morning too.  Listen out for the question and if you get it right and your text is selected then we could be calling you tomorrow morning after 8:30 - good luck!

See you in the morning - Janine xx

Doctor, doctor ....

This morning Hallamster was asking for your best 'Doctor Doctor' jokes to win tickets to see Michael McIntyre a week today at the Motorpoint Arena.  We've only got 2 pairs of tickets left to giveaway so make sure you're listening for your chance to win tomorrow at 7:30 am. 

This morning we had the kids from Watercliffe Meadow primary school in Sheffield spelling words for us on The Spellings Test and we had to guess what they were spelling.  Producer James and I got stuck twice and thank you to the 2 different Donna's that guessed right and gave their points to me mwah ha ha haaaaaaa - I'm so beating him 3 - 1 this school term!

Adam Brown from Balby was made up!  He won the brand new iPhone 5 and when we called him to give him the good news he sounded SO nervous and couldn't believe that he'd won it.  We'll be giving another brand new iPhone away tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning it's Date or Ditch!  We are uniting single people in South Yorkshire but they only get 60 seconds to chat to three people to decide who to go on the date with.  We've had lots of success stories when the date has gone well and they have arranged to meet up again.  If you're single go for it you've got nothing to lose!

By the way we've got Cheryl Cole tickets to giveaway next week so listen out for your chance to win!

See you in the morning - Janine xx

Murder on the dance floor ....

We had Sophie Ellis Bextor on our Celebrity Yes No Game this morning.  She was chatting about her 3 boys and it seems like they have quite a musical family.  It was inevitable considering she married Richard from The Feeling!  It took Big John 54 seconds to guess who she was.

Tomorrow morning we have some children on from Watercliffe Meadow in Sheffield on the Spellings Test.  It isn't how to spell it's what they're spelling and Producer James and I battle it out to win.  At the moment it's 1 all so I'm hoping to beat him this week.

Fancy a brand new iPhone 5?  Martin from Mexborough won this morning.  He sent his text just before we closed the lines and it was his son who talked him into it.  Wonder if he'll give the phone to his son or keep it .... Listen out throughout the day for the question, text in and if you get selected that phone could be yours tomorrow.

All this week you can win tickets to see Michael McIntyre just by telling Hallamster your daft joke.  Listen tomorrow morning at 7:30 and you could be off to see him a week tomorrow at the Motorpoint Arena.

See you tomorrow - Janine xxx

Monday, 1 October 2012

Fancy a new iPhone or some tickets to Michael McIntyre?

Every morning we're giving you the chance to win a brand new iPhone 5.  No queues, no contract and you don't have to spend hundreds of pounds on it either.  Keep listening all day for your chance to win or look online now to see how that phone could be yours www.hallamfm.co.uk/iphone5/

This morning Hallamster gave tickets away to see Michael McIntyre.  He gives you a joke - this morning it was knock knock jokes - and the funniest joke wins the tickets.  You can go and see him a week on Wednesday at the Motorpoint Arena.

This morning I broke Big John's heart by telling him that Cat Deeley has got married Patrick Kielty.  They got married in Rome with a few members of her family and friends present and Cat wore a beautiful tight white ruffled dress.  He's fuming ....

This morning I asked South Yorkshire the questions that had come into my head over the weekend because I was banned from using Google!  One of the questions was can you tan through windows?  I was sunbathing in the bedroom with a bikini on because it was cold outside.  I was quite surprised by the answer and if you missed it listen tomorrow morning after 6.

Hasta manana!

Janine xx
