Now then...Now then...
So there I was, standing in a 成人论坛 studio staring ominously at the large steel microphone that was poised in front of me. I was looking slick, dressed to the nines in a white dress-shirt, a burgundy tie and a sharp black suit with a red carnation placed neatly in my lapel. Two hours ago I had been in attendance at a wonderful wedding reception in Grays, Essex. I now found myself about to take part in an impromptu, unscheduled live radio broadcast with Russell in Hawaii on the other end of a phone line.
Matt was at Noel Gallagher's Birthday party and so I had to stand in as a last-minute co-host. I'd only arrived just a few minutes before transmission and so Russell tried to quickly give me a "reassuring" pre-show chat about what needed to be done:
"Don't worry Gee, you'll be fine. All that you have to do is: read the odd e-mail out, line up the music, write your little poem and keep up with my brilliance! Whoo-Hoo!! we're live again!!....citin' isn't it?....Let's go!!"
"err...yeah" (gulp!)
Two minutes before showtime, Mikey adjusts my headphones and checks the sound levels before lacing me with another glorious piece of information:
"Hey Gee, just to let you know that we've been experiencing some minor technical difficulties with the connection to Hawaii. So if the line goes down, you may have to cover it up on-air to buy some time for us to fix it. Don't worry mate, it'll only take about 30 mins tops to reconnect..."
"30 minutes you say?...Fan-Dabbi-bloody-Dosey!", I looked up to the ceiling and whispered a silent request to the one mystical being who I knew had it within his power to aid my plight:
"(Ahem) Dear Jim, can you please fix it for me to get through the next two hours without any electronic glitches?....pwetty please??"
....and so it came to pass!
(Matt's back next week to recount his tales from the "party" and can someone PLEASE tell me if there actually was a Jim'll Fix it episode where a kid wanted to burn money?)
A Composite of Opposites
It now appears that the opposite of good has been overtook by the opposite of bad,
That makes us the opposite of last in the podcast charts,
and so, if you'd care to ask?
Yes, we are the opposite of sad!
From opposing sides of the earth,
Between different horizons there lurks,
Jimmy Saville alone with Marsha who's sporting the opposite of a smirk.
While Russell fails miserably with David Walliams to be the opposite of a flirt!
We're "Live" so I'm nervously awake.
Usually we pre-record with Matt on board...
...the time? (hah!) the opposite of late!
Where we always look the opposite of great,
How preposterous is Fate?
That the listeners send Noel Fielding well wishes,
With misquoted mistakes, all done with the opposite of hate.
And so in fact it would be rude,
If I failed to show the opposite of ingratitude,
To those tuning in weekly as a must,
Here's some "actual Love",
From the opposite of you towards the opposite of us!
nice one Mr. Gee - best poem yet!
ill have to download this. i want to know how you faired taking (almost) centre stage.
Mr Gee! You were great on the podcast! I think Matt Morgan had better come up with the goods next week, otherwise he could very well be shunted! The poem really was the best yet!!!
hey Mr Gee, You sounded really confident on the podcast. that prayer to jimmie saville must of paid off! How you did the poem as well was amazing mate.
Mr Gee! I don't think you're going mad...i also have a vague recollection of a kid on Jim'll Fix It burning all that cash!
What on earth possessed him to want to do that?! Freak!
Gee mate you did yourself proud on the show, you had alot to deal with... and you still managed to pull out the best poem you've done.
Keep it up
Hey
Great show! Did the photo of Russell's surf instructor go on the site anywhere?
x
I thought you did great on the night. That woman who wouldn't stop talking was really funny as well!!
The show was unreal. Well done Gee!!!
Something about Gee performing live this Saturday afternoon in Camberwell Green? After a show that good, I'll be there...
xxxx
Hey Gee, That poem was your best by far and yet you must've had less time to concentrate on it with Matt not there. Nice one.
Very good work mr.gee, but what has happened to mr.nibs?! he has seemingly dissapeared, and you are the only Mr. left on the show. But anywhom, your poems are getting progressively better, as yesterday i listened to a podcast from the second of january, and then one from last week and the poems you did contrasted greatly! Great work on the mike, perhaps you will go the trevor lock route and get your own show, but i think you should stay faithful to matt and Ol russ, you noble word warrior!!
~D

Hello. Still in L.A.? Will you be back this weekend? I suppose you,ll have to be, coz your tour starts on Monday.
Whoo, you are a busy bee.
I guess youll be stayin in hotels while you tour. Its fun cos its like bieng part of a travelling fair, and all the crew and drivers and people envolved in the shows become like a family and you have so many laughs. During the journeys from venue to venue you can have a kip.
What was you like on the Jonathan Ross show!
Dressed to kill and with razor sharp whit. For some reason you looked a bit shy. I guess I,m a bit spoilt though coz I,m used to you screamin about and larkin, on the radio show, which is how I like you, so you wouldv come across rather reserved. You looked all nervous, ah little lamb.
Jonothan is no easy push over, he,s very fast himself and obviously gets you and all that is Russell. He was the first to say keep an eye on you as an up and coming talent,who we will all want to see more of.
When the camera was off you, you were giving Jonothan great big cheeeky grins,you can be like that to the audience all you like, its the cheekiness that wins us over. You dont have to be the picture of sophistication and composure.
You shouldv seen him last night with Pete Doherty, frankly, Doherty looked like he had just ad a fix and was gouching. Jonathans heart went out to him and he said as Pete went off, that he had officially adopted him. You must realize Russell that you are accepted and loved for who you are.
Dont doubt that.
Watav you got planned for us tonight?
Did you get any pics of when the PETA girls came in, are you gonna stick em up on the sight?
I listened to your show again the other day its classic. You miss half the stuff the first time round, and hear loadsa different things each time.
Dont know if youve recorded tonights yet or not, but I hope it goes well.
Can you believe, its taking an army of presenters to do BB,s big mouth and you used to to the lot single handedly. You shouldav asked for 10 times as much money. But money dont buy you love.
It do buy you chocolate and sky TV.
I like the ideology youre developing about us all bieng one family. Not separate lil ones.
Do you really think the revolution will change the way we live. Or do you think that we,re all past it. Theres always hope.
At least if we have a dream we can shelter from grim reality a bit, under the umberrella of love and harmony.
For now you will need you,re umberrella,its still rainin,rainin,rainin.
Barbera Streisands got a song my mum and I used to love called,"Kiss me in the rain",.......make me feel like a child again....bring back all those memories.......Its the feeling that I get,when I get wet.
Big WET SLOPPY kissey
