I'm sorry ...

This morning I confessed that I got caught speeding over the Snake Pass.  I genuinely thought it was 60 mph but it was 50.  So yesterday I went on a Speed Awareness course in Rotherham.  I actually learnt quite a lot and needless to say Big John hasn't let up on it all morning.  I should've kept my mouth shut.

Did you hear 30 something Date or Ditch this morning?  Nick picked Rachel from Doncaster and they're off on a date tonight.  They bonded over profiteroles, he asked Rach what her favourite pudding was and that's what brought them together on the radio.  Lets hope they bond over some nice food tonight at the Hui Wei Restaurant in Sheffield.  Find out how they got on tomorrow morning at 8.

Big John's Big Payout this morning is between £8 and £508 and if you can guess what amount of cash he has in the studio then it's yours.  We play just after half past the hour all day until 7pm.

See you in the morning - Janine xx

The Spellings Test is back!

Every Wednesday we have some little loves from our School of the Week spelling words for us.  This morning it was Bessacarr Primay School in Doncaster.  Producer James and I have to guess what they're spelling and he beat me this morning!  Gutted ... I have the rest of the school year to beat him though.

Tomorrow morning it's Date or Ditch and one lucky man will have three women fighting over him for a date.  He only has 60 seconds to choose one of them and then they're whisked off for a VIP night out and we catch up with them every Friday morning to find out if they got on and it's love!?  Fancy a go?  If you're single and over 18 just click here -  www.hallamfm.co.uk/date-or-ditch

Today Big John's Big Payout is a cash amount between £11 and £711.  If you guess correctly how much money we have then the cash is all yours!  Keep listening all day and call us just after half past to have a guess and grab the cash!

We'll see you in the morning!

He's a bloomin' lovely chap!

This morning we had Nick Hewer on the Celebrity Yes No Game.  Famous for helping Sir Alan Sugar on the Apprentice and now the host of Countdown.  He was a very charasmatic and funny man and not as stern as I thought he might be.  He was even telling us how good looking Rahel Riley is!  If you missed it you can hear him after 6 tomorrow morning.

If you want some free cash we're playing Big John's Big Payout every hour and this morning we can tell you the amount is between £50 & £750.  Listen at half past the hour for your chance to win.

The Spellings Test is back tomorrow with our School of the Week!  It's not how to spell it's what are they spelling?!  Some little ones will be on and Producer James and I will be trying to competing against each other to guess what their spelling.

If you're a massive fan of The Script Hallam FM are bringing them to South Yorkshire on March the 15th.  Tickets go on sale on friday morning at 9:30am and Danny O'Donaghue will be on Steve White's show this afternoon!

Have a good 'un and see you in the morning - Janine xx

Do you want a hot date?

We're playing Date or Ditch this Thursday.  Are you single, over 18 and fancy a free night out?  It's hard to meet someone when you're on a night out with your mates and don't have the confidence to approach someone.  Let us do the hard work and send you off on a VIP night out.  A couple of weeks ago we set Shaun & Natalie up and they changed their relationship status to 'in a relationship' last night on Facebook (with each other by the way!)

This morning my Google Ban question was about twins.  My best mate is pregnant - her brother and sister are twins, her Dad is a twin and her boyfriend is a twin. So is she likely to have twins?  If you missed the answer you can hear it tomorrow after 6am.

Big John's Big Payout continues today and we play all the way through to 7pm just after half past.  Listen throughout the day to narrow down the answers and win your share of the cash.  All I can tell you is today's amount is between £5 & £455.  Good luck!

It's the Celebrity Yes No Game tomorrow morning - which celeb will Big John be trying to guess at 8am.  Can you beat him to it?

See you tomorrow at 6 - Janine xx

Friday!

Harsh James and his date Stephanie went on their date last night to Nando's on Eccy Road.  Stephanie didn't fancy him because he didn't have enough meat on his bones and was too skinny.  She said they got on but she isn't going to talk to him again!

We have more money to giveaway on Big John's Big Payout and today we can tell you that amount is between £18 and £688.  The best and easiest way to win is by listening all day to narrow down all the answers.

I've got the Google Ban over the weekend so PLEASE help me with the questions that I've had in my head over the weekend.  I'll tell you what they are at 8 on Monday morning.

Me and the ladies that won the competition to come to St Leger Ladies day at Doncaster Races yesterday had an absolutel ball!  Thanks to everyone that looked after us yesterday and for giving us a day to remember.  It was a raucous day and we had a really good giggle.

Have a lovely weekend and we'll see you on Monday!

Ladies Day at Doncaster Races!

I don't know if you heard but Big John and Producer James have been making me a hat for ladies day to wear at the Races!  It's so hideous - they're trying to make a fool out of me because EVERYONE else will be looking glam...

Here is the hat:

Mortified.

This morning we played Date or Ditch and 'brutal' James picked Steph (line 3) and they're off out tonight to the new Nando's on Eccy Road in Sheffield.  Tune in tomorrow at 8am to find out if it's love or if he really is that picky.

Big John's Big Payout continue's throughout the day and it's your chance to win FREE money.  All you have to do is guess how much cash we have in the studio and it's all yours.  Listen between 6am & 7pm everyday and the more times you listen to the game the better your chances are of winning!

See you tomorrow morning - I can tell you my humiliating horse stories.

Lynn was an early bird and got herself that cash!

Lynn called in at 6:40 this morning to play Big John's Big Payout and won the cash!  She was listening all day yesterday and called early this morning and won £214 to spend on her holidays.  If you haven't heard the game we play every hour and you have to guess the amount we have in cash.  Today I can tell you it's between £7 & £707.  You can call when we open the phone lines on 0114 221 4444 and we play every hour at twenty to from 6am - 7pm.

This morning we were asking what endearing things your other half does for you that really get on your nerves!?  This started because my boyfriend wakes me up in the middle of the night when he's been out drinking to tell me that he loves me.  I pretend to be asleep and then he starts shaking me to try and wake me up.  I hate it!  We had some brilliant calls and if you missed them listen tomorrow after 6.

It's Date or Ditch tomorrow morning at 8 o clock!  Are you single, over 18 and fancy a fun VIP night out?  If you're up for it make sure you're listening at 8 and fill in one of these in the meantime www.hallamfm.co.uk/date

See you in the morning at 6.

Natalie won yesterday - can you win today?

Yesterday Natalie from Eckington won £422 for guessing the correct number on Big John's Big Payout.  It was between 100 and 600 and she managed to narrow it down and guess precisely the exact amount in £'s so the money all is hers.  Today the amount is between 20 and 900, Natalie's tip was to listen all day so you narrow the guesses down.

This morning Una from the Saturdays was on our Celebrity Yes No Game!  Big John was quick off the mark and guessed who she was in 15 seconds.  If you missed our chat with her about her gorgeous baby Aoife then make sure you listen after 6am tomorrow morning.

Hallamster will be back on tomorrow morning just after 7:30 so if you want a shout out for anyone just put your name and where you're from on our Facebook page in the morning www.facebook.com/hallamfm

Have a good 'un and we'll see you in the morning from 6.

Big John's Big Payout!

This morning was the first day of our new competition and we're giving away loads of cash.  This morning we told you to guess an amount in £'s and it has to be between £100 & £600.  Both Helen and Lyndsey called up to have a go but they didn't win.  All we can tell you is if it's higher or lower than that amount.  I reckon the best chance you have of winning is if you listen every time the competition is on and then you can narrow down the answer.  We play it at half past the hour so keep listening to Hallam FM for your chance to win that cash, if you guess the amount correctly then that cash is yours.

This morning on the Heat Update I was talking about Rihanna's new haircut.  Piers Morgan was tweeting her and being nasty about it saying she needs to grow it back.  To be fair I reckon she carries it off well.  Here's a photo of her if you haven't seen it.

Tomorrow morning it's the 'Celebrity Yes No Game' we'll have a celebrity on the phone or satelitte and Big John has to guess who it is but all they can answer with is yes or no.  We time him and everything so play along and see if you can guess who it is before him.

See you tomorrow at 6 - Janine xx

Fancy some SERIOUS cash?!

It's Big John's Big Payout this Monday and you could be winning serious amounts of cash!  Whatever you do make sure you're by the radio on Monday at 8 o'clock ...

This morning we spoke to Amanda who took her Auntie Eileen to see the recording of Loose Women.  They jumped in the mini bus and off they went.  They had a pitt stop to go to the loo and Amanda and her Auntie were in neighbouring cubicles.  Eileen shouted obscenities next to her and she started having a wee and she realised she'd left the seat down and it was going everywhere.  Then she ended up standing up weeing for some reason!?  So she had to sit on a plastic bag when she watched the show!  Amada and Eileen and 2 other friends have won ticekts to go to ladies day at Doncaster Racecourse next Thursday.  I'll be there and I can't wait!

Hallamster's Aii Test has finally been won!  It was Michael Mcintyre!  He might be a nut - M&M, He's got high mileage - from his roadshow tour and Did he have talent - he was a judge on Britain's Got Talent!  Well done to Helen in Millhouses, she's won all the tat out of Hallamster's cage.

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

See you on Monday Janine xxxxxx

24 hours to tell us your Bridget Jones clothing disaster

Did you hear Charlotte this morning?  I was laughing my head off this morning at her story and the way she told it.  She was at a wedding walking up the altar and her Uncle Mick - bloomin Uncle Mick - tripped her up.  Her bra strap got caught on a piece of cotton and her bra pinged open.  Her dress then ripped all the way up, her Bridget Jones big knickers (Spanx) were on show and her boobs were on the loose (her exact words!)  The poor girl, she was mortified!  But it has won her and her mates a trip to Doncaster for Ladies Day next Thursday.  If you've got a good story tell us now. http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/win/ladbrokes-st-leger/

The next clue is out for Hallamster's Aiiii test.  Who is the celebrity saying Aiii?  The clues are' he might be a nut, 'he's got high mileage' and 'did he have talent?'  It's going tomorrow morning I reckon after that last clue.  Make your guess at 7:30am and win Hallamster's tat.

We'll see you in the morning to sing the Friday song at you!

Janine xx

ps Big John said that my top was a bra this morning.  Here's the photo as evidence ...

Janet nearly died!

There was an absolutely shocking story this morning about clothing calamitys!  Poor Janet was borrowing some heated hair rollers and when she was jumping over her neighbours fence she got her Croc shoe stuck.  Her hair rollers went flying and so did Janet but she landed on top of them and broke 4 ribs.  She thought she was actually dying and had to crawl up her neighbours drive and she couldn't breathe!  They called the paramedics and she was carted off to hospital all dressed up but with damp soggy hair and broken ribs.  Needless to say she won this morning and will be taking 3 friends off to Doncaster Racecourse next Thursday for a free day out at Ladies Day.  I'll have to keep my eye on her as she's still fragile as it only happened in June!

Listen out for another clue tomorrow on Hallamster's Ultimate Aii test.  It's been driving South Yorkshire mad for ages!  A celebrity is saying Aiii and you have to guess who it is.  The first clue is 'he might be a nut' and the second clue is 'he has high mileage' listen out for the next clue just after 7:30 tomorrow morning!
It's a good night for TV tonight!  Dallas is on at 9 on Channel 5, Mrs Biggs starts on ITV and if you're a dog lover Top Dog Model starts on ITV2 at 8.  Jude from Retford and her dog Clicquot are on tonight!

See you at 6 tomorrow!

Button on your bonce!

This morning we heard from Margretta and she went to church with her family when she was little and she was wearing a hat and her sister pulled a thread from it.  Slowly but surely the hat began to unravel and all she was left with was a button on her head!  Her whole family were told to leave the Church by the Priest!  She came on the radio to tell us that story and she won a day at Doncaster Races at Ladies Day next week.  Have you had a fashion disaster where it's all gone wrong for you?  Tell us about it and you and three friends could be going next Thursday.

If I gave you £500 worth of vouchers to spend in Meadowhall, where would you go and what would you buy?  Just by anwering a simple qustion it could be yours!  You can spend it on whatever you like - it's guilt free!  Listen to Hallam FM throughout the day and you could be blowing the vouchers on anything you want!

See you in the morning.

Janine xx

It's not about the Price Tag!

Thanks for making us laugh this morning at your clothing disaster stories!  Laura told us this morning that she went to a work conference when she was only 18 and new to the job and she'd had some men glancing over at her and she thought she'd pulled!  They were just laughing at her because she had a £4 reduced tag hanging out of the back of her shirt!

Michaela topped that story though with her water slide story at Butlins.  She was wearing a tankini and didn't realised when she's got off the slide that her boob was out.  She walked all the way around the pool for ages while a life guard ooogled her.  She eventually saw the offending boob and put it away.  The lifeguard only turned out to be a red coat and turned up after dinner!  Gutted!

After a ten minute vote Michaela won the opportunity to come to Doncaster Ladies Day on September the 13th and have free food and drink and a fab day out!  Keep your stories coming in for your chance to win. http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/win/ladbrokes-st-leger/

See you in the morning!

Fancy a free day out at Doncaster Races to the St Ledger Festival?

So ladies, how do you fancy an opportunity to dress up and have a VIP day out at the races?  All you have to do is tell us when you've had an embarrassing nightmare with your clothing.  Poor Nat was waiting on the platform at Sheffield Train Station and her shoe fell onto the train track as she was getting on the train.  She was on the way to a job interview and had to tip toe into the room with her other foot! 

Has something similar happened to you?  Tell us for your chance to win http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/win/ladbrokes-st-leger/

Sheffield's Lucy Spraggan was on the show this morning following her appearance on the X Factor last Saturday.  What a lovely down to earth girl!  We're supporting her all the way and we reckon she could win.  If she gets to judges houses she'll jet off to the Carribean with Tulisa and Tinie Tempah - how cool is that?

Big John has the Google Ban over the weekend so if you could help him with his questions this Monday that he's not been able to look up that'd be great!

We're all out tonight too so we may have a few drunken tales to tell on Monday ...

Have a lovely weekend,

Janine xx

X Factor celebrity on the show tomorrow morning!

Lucy Spraggan has shot to fame after her X Factor audition last Saturday.  She played her own song called 'Last Night' and it sounded brilliant!  It was that good that it shot to number 2 on the Itunes chart but she had to take it down to make it fair to the other contestants.  We bumped into her yesterday and she's going to come in and have a chat with us tomorrow at 8.

This morning Shaun was the lucky man choosing between 3 ladies.  He chose line 2, Natalie from Rotherham.  She's just finished 50 Shades of grey - good lass!  They're off tonight to Hui Wei Restaurant on Glossop Road for a VIP night out.  See if they get on tomorrow morning at 8.

We want to create our own budding South Yorkshire band and tomorrow we've got our last guitar/amp and drum kit to giveaway and music lessons courtesy of Persil.  All you have to do is call us at 8:30 and tell us which two songs Hallamster has mixed together.

See you tomorrow - we'll be singing because it's Friday too - don't let that put you off!

What did you drop 'down the bog?'

This morning we heard of hairbrushes, teeth, phone's and Nintendo Ds' all going down the bog.  If you want to know how, where, who and when then make sure you listen tomorrow morning after 6!

Have your kids been good over the school holidays and do you want to reward them?  Or do you just want something to bribe them with?!  We're trying to find the next budding Artic Monkey and we have a guitar/amp, drum kit and music lessons to giveaway courtesy of Persil.  Listen at 8:30am for your chance to win.

It's Date or Ditch tomorrow!  This week we have a boy picking and he only has 60 seconds to choose his date.  Will he pick line 1,2 or 3?!  Find out tomorrow 0114 221 4444 and if he sounds like your type ladies call us tomorrow after you hear him at 8.

If you get on air to play Hamster's Ultimate Aii test you'll get a family pass for Magna and all you have to do is guess which celebrity is saying 'aiii' at 7:30.

See you in the morning!

The ungrateful .....

So yesterday on the way home at the Airport in Malaga I made the effort to buy Big John and James a little pressie from my weekend away.  They wouldn't let me give them to them because I said they were 'fun' presents.  After 30 minutes they let me give them their gifts.  Look at their grateful little faces ....

Yes it's a bull note pad and a senorita oven glove, I mean who wouldn't want them?!

Thanks for all your help with the Google Ban questions I had this morning.  If you've not heard it before either me or Big John is banned from Google over the weekend and we ask you the questions we'd of looked up.  One of my questions was why does your metabolism slow down when you get older?  It's because over the weekend I ate cod, squid, prawns, scallops, paella, lamb chops, chips, pork, pizza, pancakes, ice cream, pastries, doritos and drank red wine & jd.  If you missed it make sure you listen tomorrow morning after 6.

Do you think you've got a budding band member or solo artist in your house?  If you do we're giving a drum kit, guitar with amp and music lessons away courtesy of Persil everyday at 8:30.  All you have to do is tell us what songs Hallamster has mixed together.

Well done Lucy Spragan from Sheffield!  She rocked her X Factor audition on Saturday.  We've all got to get behind her this year and make sure she wins!

See you tomorrow from 6!

I passed my test!

I'm off to Spain tonight but I had to earn my holiday by doing a Spanish test and luckily I passed so I'm off today.

This morning Cacey chose line one, Dan, on Date or Ditch.  They were both very nervous but she must've known he was the right guy as she didn't even move on to the next line.  Date or Ditch has worked 3 times in a row and hopefully this will be the 4th time it works!  Find out if they get on this Friday at 8!

What you up to over the Bank Holiday weekend?  Do you want to treat the kids?  Go away for the weekend?  Go on a shopping spree, buy an Ipad or have a huge party?  You could do all of that with £500 and every day you can win that on Hallam FM until this Friday.  This morning Tracy in Parson Cross won and she goes on holiday tonight to Greece - she's going to spend it all on ..... herself!!!

Hallamster's Celebrity Aii test still needs winning.  Guess which celebrity is saying 'Aiii' and you can win all the tat in his cage.  The clue is 'he might be a nut'.  It isn't Bobby Nut, Ussain Bolt, Eminem, John Bishop, Jamie Oliver, Shaun Bean or Ricky gervais.

Please look after the guys while I'm away - thanks!

Janine xx

Eeek .... I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

Before you judge me I was only 7 and as most little girls are a little bit curious as to why we have different pieces of anatomy than boys.  So luckily Jonathon Brumhead came to my rescue behind the frog bin in the playground.  This all came out on air last week and now Big John has tracked him down and messaged him on Facebook on my behalf.  Will I get a reply?

This morning it was Claire from Brinsworth that won £500 to spend from Big John's Bank.  It's come in just in time before she goes on her holiday to Ibiza this Friday.  Listen to Hallam FM throughout the day to find out how you could be a winner.  We're giving away £500 every day!

It's Date or Ditch tomorrow!  One lucky lady will be picking from 3 boys that are vying for her affection.  They'll be off on their date tomorrow night and if they hit it off that'll be the 4th couple in a row that got along and might be seeing each other again.

Hallamster's Ultimate Aii test is still going!  You can win tat from his cage including a mobile phone, wireless colour changing speaker, a sat nav and loads of other goodies.  We play every day at 7:30am.  It's not mark Almond, Bobby Nut or anyone ginger - the clue is he might be a nut.

See you at 6 tomorrow!
