Students like Heinz beans best...!

In a result which has shocked us ladies at the 'Even Looser Women' show, you've decided you prefer Heinz Beans best! You voted and voted in the polls but Heinz came out on top!

Oh yes, it seems the days of students going for the Basics 17 pence beans (Lucy knows!) are long gone! Maybe you're getting more loan or maybe you just like your quality beans but either way you're forking out the pennies for the high-end beans of the market!

Who'd have thought it?! When we started this debate we thought Basics or at least Supermarket own-brand beans would triump but how wrong we were!

This has turned the whole 'Big Question 1' on it's head! Shocking! I think we're going to have to think of a whole new feature for next year's show! What will it be?! Who knows! You best tune in and find out!

'Silver Fox' and 'The Box' tie in shock result!

Well, who'd have thought it?! You guys have voted and the polls have closed for the 'Big Question 2' and the result: a tie! Yes, really! Shocking! And no, I haven't rigged the results! If I had my way it would've been Simon Cowell AKA 'The Box' all the way! *sigh!*

It seems that you guys have just as much love for Phillip Schofield AKA the 'Silver Fox' as you do for Simon Cowell AKA 'The Box'! Who'd have thought it?!
Maybe you love Phillip's cheeky grin or could it be his silky, silvery mane? And what about 'The Box'? Is it Simon Cowell's high-waisted trousers or perma-tan which had you voting?!

I'd actually really love to know so get commenting back to me! Thanks for the votes!

US men wear girdles in new craze...!

Yes, in news that's had us cracking up on the show, it's been announced the latest craze sweeping America is...male girdles! Girdles, I hear you say? ? Yes, those things that women wear to suck their wobbly bits in! Nice!

Apparantly there's big bucks being spent on these 'mirdles' in a bid to hide those bulging bellies! Just check out the pics!

Now me and the girls have been discussing this and we agree: it's not sexy one bit! Sure, it might make the guy look better from the outside but the fat's still there, hiding underneath! And I'm sure taking one of them off would definitely kill the flame in the bedroom department! Sexy? I don't think so!

I just hope the craze doesn't hit Britain any time soon!

Listen to our past shows...(finally!)

Oh yes! I've finally managed to upload clips of our show and what a show I picked - yes it's the Tim Malone show; probably my favourite show of the whole year!

Just click on the player on the right hand side: I'm sorry it's small but HTML coding is very confusing, don't you know! If you click on 'open player in new window' it should open it so you can actually read the track listing!

Why should I listen? Well you'll hear why Tim Malone is top of the leaderboard, find out just why we were discussing smelly necks and hear Lucy getting her words muddled up! Enjoy!

ASDA cheapest for beans...!

Now as you loyal fans of the show will know, we test our guests every week to see if they're true students. They face the nail-biting, un-nerving question of what beans do they buy: Heinz, Branston, Supermarket own or Basics?

Well, if you were listening to last week's show you'd have heard Jack Green admit he was a true bean snob by only going for Heinz! Get him! So where's the best place if you want to be a snob and go for the Heinz?
It's Asda at a staggering 38p for a huge 414 gram tin! Wowee! Now, that may sound cheap but if you compare that with 25p for their own brand where you get 5 more grams of yummy beans you'll see you've been a victim of that cheeky thing that is daylight robbery!

The point? Don't be a bean snob! (But if you do, go to Asda!)

P.S. Don't forget to vote on the polls on the right-hand side to show how much of a real student you are!

SKINS star to play murderer...!

Well on the show we're still recovering from the sad news that the entire cast of the current series of SKINS is being cut but it seems some of them are already moving on!

Nicholas Hoult AKA Tony has landed the part of playing a Hannibal Lectar-type murderer in the new film 'Sidetracked'! He plays the part of a murderer who scalps his female victims! Nice! The 19 year old heads off to start filming in Sweden next week and it sounds like he can't wait:

"I play a man who goes around killing people with an axe - it's great fun!"

But it sounds like he hasn't turned his back on his SKINS friends though:

"I've made some amazing friends on the show that I know will be friends for life."

Aww, bless! Well, this part sounds just slightly different to the character of Tony but us ladies of the 'Even Looser Women' show can't wait to see the final film! Go Nicholas!

Top ten most common passwords - take note!

After having my own MySpace page hacked into a few months ago and the news that the number of scams have gone up in the area, I thought it'd be a good idea to look into the top 10 most commonly used passwords.

Now on the show, we're careful with our passwords and luckily our passwords don't match any of the list but if yours does, I'd change it...and fast! Now this list is only according to http://www.modernlifeisrubbish.co.uk/ but I'd say it's pretty accurate! Take a look for yourself:

1. 123 : Oh yes, some people really silly enough to go for a simple numerical sequence; nearly 4 in 1000 of you to be precise!

2. Password : Two words: Oh dear!

3. Liverpool: 1 in 550 people have this team as their password: pure dedication or pure stupidity?

4. Letmein: Like a modern day 'Open Sesame' - yeah, because no-one would ever guess this one!

5. 123456: Wow, you guys really are clever!

6. Qwerty: 1 in 700 of you pick this simple keyboard sequence as your password.

7. Charlie: The most common name for a password. Nothing to do with it's slang usage? No?

8. Monkey: No real reasoning behind this one: maybe monkeys are just popular? :S

9. Arsenal: Could this have anything to do with it's first four letters being a swear word?

10. Thomas: 1 in 1000 of you pick this one. Why? Not a clue!

So there you have it: the top 10 most commonly used passwords in the UK at the moment! Is yours up there? I'm guessing so! Change it and fast! If you don't and you get hacked into, there's no-one to blame but you!

Gladiators back next month!

In news that's had us excited for weeks on the show, Gladiators is finally back on Sky One next month and about time too! The show Saturday nights were made for is back with the eliminator, good old Jon Anderson and a new batch of Gladiators!


But have you seen them? They're so not as impressive the Jets, Trojans and Rhinos of the past show! :( With names like Tempest, Altlas and Spartan I don't think the new competitors are going to be quite as scared as they used to be! Just check out the muscles on them - impressive but not quite up to Gladiator standard.



Don't get me wrong, I'm still really excited and can't wait for Jon Anderson to shout the immortal words; "Are you READY?!" I'm sure I'll be tuning in next month although I have a feeling I'll be rather disappointed!



I wonder if they're going to include such classic rounds as the Gauntlet, the Wall and of course, the mighty eliminator! We can only wait and cross our fingers!

Daniel Craig: Bond until "his joints go!"

Yes, in news that had Lucy wooping for joy on this week's show, Daniel Craig has revealed he loves being James Bond so much he says he'll only retire when "his joints go!"

Phew! And as the hunk is only 40 we can cross our fingers, retirement will be a good few years away yet! And in news which will have Lucy even more excited, he's also revealed there'll be just a "little nudity" in the new film Quantum of Solace due for UK release on 31st October. Rather disappointingly though he adds "...it might not be full". Damn!

Now whether you love Daniel Craig or hate him (although I can't think of a good reason why anyone would hate him!) you can't say he hasn't done well! Casino Royale was the highest grossing Bond film ever taking in a staggering £325 billion globally! Wowee!

Here's the trailer for Casino Royale just to remind you of how HOT Daniel Craig is! Hurry up October I say!!



Green fails to knock Malone from the top...!

Oh yes, it's come to the end of the year and not even the cheeky chappy that is Jack Green could manage to knock Tim Malone off the top of the leaderboard; see the board on the right-hand side!

Jack put in a stirling effort on this week's show but let himself down on a number of things...although he did still manage to finish with a very respectable 8! Why did Jack end up in second then?

Well....Jack had to take a call on his mobile not once, not twice but a massive three times whilest we were on air...tut, tut! Although it was his mum so he won some points back for being a Mummy's boy! Jack also revealed he was a true bean snob by announcing it was "Heinz all the way!" Shocking! He even screwed his nose up when Laura presented him with a present from the 'Even Looser Women' - a tin of Branston Beans!

So there you have it, our show is over for this year, sob sob! But we WILL be back next year and we already have some new ideas which should make for even better radio! I bet you can't wait...I know I can't!

Brad Pitt may be off the market (but do we care?!)

The latest rumour doing the rounds is that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have tied the knot in a private ceremony in New Orleans. The ceremony apparantly took place last weekend. It all sounds a bit normal for them!

When we talked about this on the show we came up with a startling discovery! We no longer care! Yes, that's right! The guy that we used to lovingly gaze up at in our teenager years is no longer a hunk!

Maybe it's the fact that he's old, he is 44 after all! Or maybe it's because he's now all settled down and a doting dad but that's normally a turn on! I think it must be his looks! They have suffered a bit in recent years! Maybe it's the stress of bein a dad! Just compare these two pics! Get my point?


So there you have it: Brad Pitt is no longer HOT in our eyes! Shocker! I think he's now been replaced by Daniel Craig! Definitely for Lucy anyway as she likes to tell us in every show!

Top ten hangover cures...!

This week I decided to do the top ten hangover cures... after experiencing a particularly horrible hangover myself on Thursday! And with the end of the year coming up I thought lots of you might benefit from this post! Most of them are obvious but there are a few which might surprise you; I'd try them at your peril though! Read on and you'll see what I mean!

1. Lots of water; Ok this is a pretty obvious one like I said but it works! It's when you can't even drink water that you know that you're in big trouble!

2. Greasy food; Personally I can't think of anything worse when hungover than greasy eggs and beans but lots of you swear by this one!

3. Tomatoes; Yes, those people who swear by Bloody Marys the morning after the night before may not actually be as crazy as you thought! Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C which gets zapped after a night out.

4. Sex; The exercise gets the blood flowing to your head (amongst other body parts) and will have you feeling wide awake in no time!

5. Hair of the dog; I can't say I've tried this one myself but lots of people swear by it. If you think drinking yet even more alcohol will cure your hangover; beware! It will only work for so long!

6. Go for a run; Yes, get up and get out of that bed! The exercise will help you flush out last night's toxins and leave you with a more positive outlook (if not completely exhausted!)

7. Vitamins; Vitamins such as B1 and C found in sports drinks like Lucoazade help you to deal with the alcohol churning in your stomach!

8. Drink brine pickle; This one is one of the more....alternative remedies! Apparantly the brine pickles are bottled in helps to shift your hangover!

9. Caffiene; Many people swear by black coffee, tea or sugary fizzy drinks as an instant fix but the fix will only last so long! Caffiene causes dehydration which could leave you feeling even worse!

10. Go back to bed; If all else fails, go back to bed. You're clearly in need of desperate sleep and a little bit of TLC; just don't tell the boss!

So there you have the top ten hangover cures according to UKTV documentary; http://uktv.co.uk/documentary/ and Boreme.com; http://www.boreme.com/boreme
So will you be drinking brine pickle water and going for a run next time you're hungover?! Hmm, me neither! I think I'll stick to the bacon sandwiches with lots of brown sauce! If you have any tips, please comment back!

Sienna: A textaholic?

If you were listening to the show yesterday you'd have heard us talking about this story. Apparantly Sienna Miller has been missing fiance Rhys Ifans just a tad.....so much infact that she's taken to texting him all day everyday.


Now how many texts would you send your fiance everyday if he was 5000 miles away? 15? 20? Well it seems slightly more than that if you're Miss Miller! She managed to send Ifans a staggering 53 text messages in.....8 hours! Yes, that's 8 hours, not even a whole day! Yikes!

But it seems Sienna's friends aren't impressed at her latest antics and have told her that if she doesn't stop soon she's going to get repetetive strain injury. So what's Sienna done? Stop texting? Don't be silly! Simply changed to the other hand!


Now am I the only one who's confused at this couple? Don't get me wrong: Sienna Miller is a stunning lady but Rhys Ifans....?

If you look back at Jude Law...now there's a hunk! It must've been a bit of a change to go from Jude to Rhys!

Yesterday we were talking about this and came to a conclusion: Pretty boys are never nice! They cheat and they lie but those less fortunate in the looks departments.....well, they're nicer and more thankful to have you!


So it's simple then; go for a minger and get treated well! Hmm, now that doesn't sound like much fun!

Guest Leaderboard....Malone top of the pile!

Oh yes! As you can see by the feature on the right hand side I decided it'd be a good idea to sort out a leader board to rate the guests featured on our show so far!

Currently Tim Malone is top of the bunch. Why did he get such a high 9 whilest Steve Eveleigh only got a pathetic 6 I hear you cry?

Well...many, many reasons! Firstly Tim somehow managed to persuade us he was the perfect boyfriend! How? Well he treasures his soppy Valentines card and took his girlfriend to a Take That concert amongst other things (although I have a feeling the Take That concert was as much for him as his girlfriend!) He also made us re-evaluate the Big Question One by throwing in the suggestion that if Heinz beans were on offer it somehow made them less posh! How confusing!

Stevie on the other hand...well Stevie had to be reminded he was on the show the day and even a few hours before hand....but still managed to turn up twenty minutes late! Yes, the show is only an hour long so we near enough missed out on his words of wisdom for nearly half the show! Tut Tut!

We can only wait and see if next week's guest Jack Green can come anywhere near Malone! And with the show being a special 'Challenge Week' show, thanks to the Tom and Dan show before us, it certainly looks like it's going to be a must listen!
