I love Kay. Not as much as I love lamp but I love her nonetheless

It's a repeat edition of the 'Other Side Of' today on WM at noon.

It's Doolan's own from around 6 months ago(his 65th birthday one!), & asking the questions, one Nick Owen!

It's times like this, with this & the Inside Out prog, you forget Nick can do longer than a few minutes per item, & he's excellent IMO !

No wonder the Midlands took him to their hearts!

(There, is that enough Midlands Today fabness for you?)

Anyone in the vicinity of Claverdon in Warwickshire this evening & hearing some strange sounds from a church hall, don't worry, it's only Les Ross trying to play the piano!

Try this one then!

Who should be the Second City?

Birmingham or Manchester?

Listen to a special debate on Friday morning at 8am as BBC WM & BBC Radio Manchester's breakfast presenters join forces!

Presenting on BBC WM is Phil Upton, while on BBC Manchester is Terry Christian!(He of 'The Word' fame ! Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't at least one section of the media refer to Mr Christian as a 'Mancurian Moron' in the past ?)

Bloody annoying trails for the Breakfast Show(Is it Danny Kelly's make up bag? Who gives a ****?) & Danny Kelly's show(Woman trying not to say Dicks on air!)

About time we had a trail for the lovely Miss Green IMHO!

Anyone hear my text comment about CBB this morning, saying I thought Jade Goody was bad enough until I saw her mother last week?

Is Boyden sitting in for someone on CWR at the moment, as I saw him on the Coventry City Micky Adams montage on tonight's MT?

I always think of Birmingham as the 2nd city with Manchester in 3rd place.

Mollie made an appearence on Ed's show around 1220pm, letting us know about a fallen tree on her way home back to Redditch.

Also making an appearence on the Doolan show, was everybody's 'favourite' bus company spokesman, Phil Bateman of Travel West Midlands, 'taking your calls', along with some bloke from Birmingham city council.
