We have the most British meeting ever to talk about the rubbish weather and then…
Forecasters say temperatures could reach 27 celsius.
There’s even a north – south divide with the weather now.
Temperatures are expected to remain lower further north with the driest weather expected in
It’s hardly fair – while all those down south are sucking on their Solero’s were having to put up with muggy weather.
There’s nothing worse than it being warm BUT cloudy.
People get confused – they don’t know what to wear.
Today you’ll see someone with shorts on and a coat – maybe wearing sandals.
If they are just stop them and help them out – they’re one of the droves of the British Weather confused!
I was at the gym and the bloke next to me had his music on so loud I could hear it quite clearly.
We were both running on the treadmill.
He was in the zone with music like Robin Thicke, JLS even a bit of Olivia Newton John and Physical sneaking in there (that must have been one of his guilty pleasures he thought no-one knew about!).
Then it came out of nowhere – sneaking up on him – totally knocking him off his work out…..
Somewhere on his iPod he must have left a Christmas album on.
So half way through…….’And so this is Christmas…..’
He went from concentrating on his running to franticly searching for the skip button.

Well this new invention might be for you.

He posted a clip of his creation on YouTube.
It’d make me get up if it was ripping a fiver!

The obvious ones are in there…

8:55am on 18 Jun 2013 The girl who’s doing work experience has just called in.
She’s working with the news team for a few days.
Travelling in from Uni.
She opens the conversation with May with the line ‘you’ll never guess what’
You know this is going to be good with that opening line.
To travel in she has to get a train.

There’s some great excuses been revealed this morning.
Did they ever really think that would work?
It's among some of the excuses used after viewers were found to have a television without paying the annual fee.
Another said they didn't think they needed a licence because their pet corgi was said to be related to one of the Queen's dogs.
I might try that one.
I’ve got a Gold Fish that looks a bit like Prince Phillip.
The movie is based on the true story of the 33 men who were trapped underground for 69 days in 2010.

9:08am on 17 Jun 2013 Did everybody have a good fathers’ day weekend?
Mine was great.
The little man was on best behaviour – like he knew – and didn’t kick off once.
We went out for Sunday lunch with my parents (because Vic’s dad isn’t into fathers’ day – unlike me who’s happy to take any kind of celebration).
When you eat at that time you never know what to eat later.
Do you have a sandwich or another meal? There’s no real in between.
As it was fathers’ day Vic said I could have whatever I wanted when I started getting hungry again.

It was a massive one that we shared – and when it arrived I couldn’t eat any – I was a let down to dads everywhere.
I still feel full this morning!
No one uses them any more.
Instead we keep all our photos on the computer.
Do you still have photo albums?
The digital photo age does have one draw back for me.
You can no longer just take one photo any more.
You end up having to take five – because someone’s arm looks fat or someone is blinking.
Life was so much easier before that digital screen! Have you ever enjoyed a roller coaster and thought I never want to get off?
That wish came true for some people at Chessington World of Adventures.
The theme parks had to apologise after dozens of people were stranded on a ride.
40 passengers were eventually rescued after spending up to FOUR hours suspended in the air.
That’s a long time to be sat next to the 12 year old nephew that bullied you to take him on – and now he’s no longer your favourite.
Everyone’s thinking it.
Were they upside down?
If they weren’t then at least there’s one silver lining in this story – being upside down for four hours would have been worse.
Probably not the best argument to use if any one from Chessington is listening.
When was the last time your child showed you up?
Here’s a moment a parent wouldn’t want.
Most fans of Iron Man would be overjoyed to meet the film's star - but one toddler was less than impressed when he got the chance to speak with his hero.
18-month-old Jaxson Denno burst into tears when Robert Downey Junior greeted him in
The youngster then demanded to know where the "real" Iron Man was.
Could you imagine that?
How would you react if your toddler kicked off in front of Robert Downey Junior?
Do you apologise and shoot off quick or do you accuse him of making your son cry so that he gives you loads of free stuff?
I’m very British – so it’s be the first one – but after I’d really wish I’d done the second one.
The band closed their set with Sir Bob telling the crowd it was the 'most fun he's had in 27 years'.

Bob Geldof's Boomtown Rats certainly like Mondays today - after smashing the Isle of Wight Festival yesterday.
James has been at Rother FM since the very beginning in 2006.
A Maltby lad born and bred he’s always wanted to be a Radio Presenter. That even dates back to when he was a 10 year old, using his karaoke player to produce shows using tapes, and the sound of a crowd from a football game so he could pretend to be doing a road show!
James is married to his good lady Vicki and they have a son called Isaac.
He has a pet cat called Frankie (who has extra toes!), another one called Monty and an aquarium full of tropical fish at home (although Vicki is the one that looks after them…if he's honest).
