My pigeon explosion horror

Dear Onliners

Dave here with a Thursday edition of the Chris Moyles Show blog. For those of you that like to listen to the show, today we had Boyzone in live. I thought they were dead funny and I hope you did too.

This week is all about the visuals as the radio show has gone all bi-media with Grey'ead filming us everyday. Hopefully by now you'll have seen some these video treats, and if you have seen them, why not reply to this and tell me what you thought. Personally I don't really care, but I know that Grey'ead and Aled like feedback, and I can take this opportunity to gauge opinion and pass it on. Aled will probably use it to make a graph. He likes graphs a lot....

Tomorrow is friday which is like the best day of the week bar none. Fact. Friday's rule and if you like Fridays say yay. Rock on.

I've got to do some washing today cos i'm away for the weekend. I should really try and do two loads, but i'm not sure i'm going to a) have time for this and b) have enough drying space. Not sure what i'm going to do about this as yet, but will let you know next time i contribute in this way to our fine online content. Computers really are clever aren't they? I don't know what we'd do without them.

I accidentally killed a pigeon today in my car. Only I was in the car and the pigeon was on the outside when he hit my front grill at high speed and kind of exploded in a cloud of feathers. I was a bit upset about it at the time and felt slightly traumatised for about 20 minutes, but i'm ok now. It is the first pigeon i've ever killed though, cos they normally get out of the way when you drive at them don't they? I actually don't like pigeons, and don't understand people who feed them and put them on their head. That's a strange thing to do, and probably responsible for the spread of disease.

I've got to go now, so have a nice day and speak to you soon bye.

Dave

    Dave I can really tell you're well into the whole blogs and comment thing.

    "...why not reply to this and tell me what you thought. Personally I don't really care..."

    I'm sure that will compel the license fee payer into commenting. It's good to know about your washing habits though, some very logical thought going on there.

    And Aled is right - graphs are awesome.

    I like fridays so I say yay along with you Dave. Fridays would be even better if the Friday Song hadn't been uncerimoniously axed from the show. Think you could sneakily do a Friday Song while Chris is off on a fag break?

    Video content is great although I'd only bother to watch it if something especially visual happened. The electric shock game on it was good (although it may not have been enjoyable for the participants), but most other things this week haven't been especially visual. While the filming is still going on tomorrow you should definately take the opportunity to play Fire At Will, or Bang Will's Head Against The Studio Window. Grey'Ead fans everywhere want to see it!

    Graphs are pretty cool, I have to give Aled that one.

    I haven't run over a pigeon yet but I did nearly run over a pensioner yesterday - I think maybe I shouldn't be learning to drive.

    Loved Boyzone today they were really funny! And I'm loving getting to see the team in the videos too.

    I love Will!

    so, here's my feedback.

    i think it is a great idea for us to see the great breakfast show team at work.

    you lot look like you really enjoy waking up the nation, smiles on everybodies faces.

    i guess chris didn't initially like the idea of having a camera in the studio, and i can see why.
    radio is a audio treat not a visual treat. so it adds to the mystery when we hear, not see you, every day.

    but your videos are not too long and short enough to give us a snap shot of the day in question.

    but i think to keep up the mystery it would be best to leave it a few months before you bring back the idea.

    good work to all involved ( well, will kinder) .

    Hi Dave,

    I just wanted to say that I know how you feel about the pigeon incident. The same thing happened to me once. It just swooped down and hit the front of my car and I drove off leaving an explosion of feathers behind me feeling quite guilty. It wasn't as bad as the time that I went round a corner to see a baby bunny hopping into the middle of the road seconds before I squashed it. I felt really bad about that one. Not quite sure why killing a bunny is worse than a pigeon but it is.

    I'm very disappointed this morning because I thought I'd be able to watch the live streaming from my desk to avoid doing any work but my pc says 'general error' when I try. Oh well, I can still listen.

    Keep up the good work.

    Loving the live video. Seeing Rachel's buns was special! -- Neil in Cobham.

    Motorbike in the garage live video was hilarious!

    Keep it up, more live video please Will Kinderburg!

    Hey hey how are things on Dave Island?!?

    YAY its Friday!!!

    Have to say, I'm loving the videos and hope they become a regular feature, even just one a week or something, I think they're hilarious!

    Gutted the curry-gate rant wasn't in the video though...!

    I was gutted that Chris having a go at Louis Walsh wasn't on the highlights as I missed that. It's always nice to hear someone having a go at Louis.

    Next time you guys decide to create vidoes of your broadcasts, is there anyway that you can make it so that listeners/viewers outside of the UK can see them? I'm trapped in Canada at the moment, and would have loved to have seen them!

    I have an uncle who considers a visit to Trafalgar Square to put pigeons on his head a "must-do" when visiting London. Pigeons are a nuisence. Be glad it was only a pigeon and not something more rustic like a deer. They don't explode on impact. They just demolish your car. And today on the way to work I had to drive over bunny squishings. A puddle of mush with two ears sticking up. Crappy way to start a day.
