it was worth a quick look, but nothing spectacular. nice to see the cast model depicting the creation of the first central logo. and nice to see the bits of tat from the game shows and the old cameras. doing a pretend central news bulletin isn't my kind of thing, so i'm not sure.

eh?? i wouldnt have thought so he's only just got in cwr, or should i say gone back to cwr

loving cwr at the mo sounding totally different to what we had before from brum didn't think i'd like liz drivetime but she's really funny and think big al in early is sounding good a bit commercial sometimes but maybe thats cos he has more music than any other show

Also off next week is Mollie, with Keithy Boy, Nikki Tapper(the gospel woman) & Mike Rimmer(Doolan's Sunday warm up!) filling in at various points during the week.

Goldie's back on the radio on Monday too. (Richard Wilford was sitting in for him, after being overlooked on previous occasions by the likes of Les Ross)

Those of you who are aware of Walsall's possible revamp(Personally I'll believe it when I see it !), might have seen Cayte Walker at Walsall Bus Station on Thursday morning for the Breakfast Show.(I missed her by half an hour ! Mad )

Slightly off topic, but we went to Walsall's KFC Thursday night, but they didn't have any chicken! Rolling Eyes (Having the gas done!)

So we went back nearer home to a chippy there!

Told my mate at work about it the next morning, & he told me a similar story about one of his mate's.

They went into another branch & after getting their order, they were followed by someone else, who asked for a chicken related item & were informed they had no chicken, to which the reply was along the lines of 'What no f**king chicken! You're having a larf! This is a Kentucky Fried Chicken isn't it!'
