James Corden, David Mitchell and Karl Pilkington have all made it into Heat Magazine’s top 20 weird crushes list for 2011. It’s a new entry at number one for Richard Osman from the BBC One gameshow Pointless.
Karl Pilkington is a weird crush
Politically David Cameron, George Osborne and Ed Balls all made it into the listed with deputy PM Nick Clegg the number one political weird crush to have.
If you’re a fan of the X Factor you may be pleased to know that both Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh have also been named as weird crushes!
Roundabouts
A national “Roundabout Idol 2011″ survey has been released and it has nothing to do with music mogul Simon Cowell. The survey covered all the worst (many of which are located in Scotland) and the best like Hemel Hempstead’s “Magic Roundabout”.
This morning I was looking for Medway based roundabouts with joyful junctions and great gyratories.
Medway’s Best Roundabouts
- A228/M2 junction 2 Sundridge Hill roundabout
- Ratcliffe Highway/Christmas Lane (heading to Hoo Peninsula)
- Hempstead Valley Drive roundabout (near Hempstead Valley)
Sundridge Hill at the A228/M2 voted best Medway Roundabout by kmfm Medway listeners
You loved the size of the A228/M2 roundabout and the clear markings on the Hempstead Valley Drive/Rise roundabout scooped it a place in Medway’s top 3.
Medway’s Worst Roundabouts
- Bowaters Roundabout in Gillingham (aka Tesco Roundabout)
- A228/A289 Findsbury Hill (near Medway City Estate)
- Chatham Hill Roundabout at A2 High Street in Chatham
Bowaters/Tesco Roundabout the worst in Medway?
There were far more bad roundabouts than good but the above are your top 3. Your gripes included confusing lane markings, traffic queues at peak times (as with A228/A289 Findsbury Hill) and… did I mention traffic?
Boastful Chatup Lines
According to a new survey, it’s understood, women prefer boastful men to modest men. Here are some boastful lines and what they really mean:
I have a maid and manservant means I live with my parents.
I’m in the import/export business means I work in a post room.
Danger is my middle name means I changed it by deedpoll from Gordon.
Food will help me to survive but give me water and you’ll kill me. What am I?
Enchantment
The mind behind Britain’s Got Talent circus troupe act Enchantment was on the radio show this morning. Nikki Bond is from Medway and her group are through to the Britain’s Got Talent live semi-finals tonight.
Enchantment from Britain's Got Talent
Many members of Enchantment have Kent connections including one who teaches roller skating in Lordswood. They’ve been rehearsing non-stop and are anxiously anticipating being judged by Simon Cowell tonight!
What Makes You Smile?
Some of the things that you said made you smile on the show this morning included “when I get a good morning text message”, “when I hear my favourite song on the radio” and “when I chat to relatives who live abroad on Skype”. Tweet yours with #itmakesmesmilewhen.
Mike’s Mindbender: Ben walked for an hour in pouring rain without getting a single hair on his head wet. He didn’t have a hat, umbrella or coat with hood. How? ANSWER: He was bald.
