31/01/2012: Jake the peg and the Street Credit Card
Hi there,
Pinch, punch, first of the month (even if you’re not reading this on Feb 1st)… I just had to put that in.
On this week’s show, the epic battle (that turned out to be eventful but not particularly epic) on Laurence vs Adam was to recite the lyrics to ‘Jake the peg’. Our excuse for that was that it was Australia Day this week. That’s a good enough excuse, isn’t it? I got my way through ‘Jake the peg’ and Adam, by his own admission, struggled. I won! That brings the scores to Me 18 – Adam 17. Next week we’ve got to see who can stuff the most grapes in our mouths in 30 seconds.
I’m also proud to present… The Street Credit Card. ‘Init’ and all that. Every time you do something that is even vaguely chav-esque, you get points on your Street Credit Card. Please use it wisely and not just to scrape the ice of your car in the mornings.
Until next week….
Toodle pip!
Laurence
This week's show!
Hello Tuesday Evening Clubbers!
On our shindig this week...
- Want to be 'well street'? My new Street Credit Card is for you
- It's stalemate on Laurence vs Adam - the scores are currently 17 all! So, who will win this week's challenge to memorise the lyrics to 'Jake the peg'!
- Plus, which celebrities would you like to see have a heated argument? (Non-violent though, of course)
If there's any excuse to include a Rolf Harris video into a blog post, I will! And it would be rude not to...
DISCLAIMER: Future Radio or I do not take any responsibility for you going slightly bonkers after seeing that video. Don't worry, it'll wear off shortly.
Don't forget to tune into the show, Tuesday 6 till 7 o'clock.
Toodle pip!
Laurence.
A short announcement and apology
“What’s Laurence gone and done now?”, I hear you say. Well, all right, it’s not THAT bad!
I won’t be on the radio this week (24th January). I have an exam to revise for an exam. Obviously, I’d much rather be larking about on the radio!
I hope you lovely listeners will understand. I’ll be back next week!

10/01/2012: Capaign starting and Bizarre Double Acts
Hi Peeps,
On this week’s show, the challenge was to start a campaign. It was a great week for Adam this week as he won! My campaign was ‘Campaign to get the Puppet Man to do the Macarena’ and Adam’s was ‘Campaign for Adam to win Laurence vs Adam on The Tuesday Evening Club’. The winner was decided by adding up the score out of 10 from our judge Forrest and the number of likes on our pages on Facebook for our campaigns.
Also on this week’s show, Bizarre Double Acts was our topic. Thanks for all your brilliant messages on this. A few highlights (for me) included Jessie J and Darth Vader as well as Tulisa off the X Factor and Boris Johnson.
Toodle pip!
Laurence.
03/01/2012: New podcast, Impressions on Laurence vs Adam and New Music for 2012
Hello,
Happy new year!
Firstly, just a quick bit of housekeeping; we’ve launched a podcast for the show! It’ll be weekly, so you’ll never miss another show (Lucky you!). You can find the first one here.
On this week’s Laurence vs Adam, it was an eventful one! It was so eventful in fact that the shindig-o-metre almost broke (it costs a lot to fix, you know). The challenge was to do three impressions. We had to do impressions of each other (which lead to giggling fits), Prince Philip (which will probably lead to both of us being beheaded) and Mr. T (goodness knows what will happen to us for doing that one!). I won in the end, but only just about in all honesty, bringing the scores to Me 18 – Adam 16.
Also, on this week’s show I did a montage (Who doesn’t love a good montage?!) of some bands to watch out for in 2012. Here’s the list:
That’s it for this week. Why not head over to our Facebook Page and give us a cheeky little ‘like’?
Spector – Grey shirt and tie
Friends – I’m his girl
Michael Kiwanuka – Home again
Lianne La Havas – No room for doubt
Niki & The Dove – Mother protect
Toodle pip!
