Ben is jotting down his status updates into a notebook.

The way he refers to himself in the third person is rather unnerving - he'll probably turn out to be a serial killer.
Can we use that on the sleeve notes Beaky?
he's had 10 already, but I can't wait for 11

It's a retro nod to the Facebook statuses which always referred to you in the third person.
Looks like I will be making a return to the Peterborough FM airwaves on a permanent basis later this month. Yay! 
My old Saturday evening slot has long gone but I wouldn't have been able to broadcast then anyway as my life has changed somewhat in recent months.
It's not exactly peak time but I'll be on on Saturday mornings from 10 till 12 and the show will be fortnightly rather than weekly. There's guaranteed to be a guest and/or co-presenter every time so there will be a different feel but the old Pick'n'Mix spirit shall remain.
I'm going to drop Pleasuredome from the title and call it something radical like the 'Saturday Morning Pick'n'Mix' as I want to keep the eclectic range of musical styles. The overall format will change too and include some more newsy stuff but I'll hang on to one or two of the old features such as the BCG Jokefest. Who knows I may even make it a part of every broadcast. 
Ever had a 'Did I really just have that conversation moment?'.
For whatever reason, I can't remember possibly something pretentious, we were, at work, discussing the old infinite time, infinite monkey, complete works of Shakespeare quote, when someone in the office piped up. "They've done that and it isn't true." the dialog continued thusly.
"They got an infinite amount of monkeys?"
"Yep."
"Where did they get them from?"
"I don't know but they did the experiment in Germany I think."
"And they did this for an infinite amount of time."
"About 3 months."
"You do know what infinite means?"
"Yep, so that quote is wrong they proved it."
At which point I bailed out, and now it just seems like something I MUST have dreamt, surely.
That's an astonishing moment of natural comedy, where do you work MENSA

I work for an IT company that specialises in software for the insurance marker (yes I am THAT rock n roll), I would like to say it's akin to MENSA but feel I would be kidding no-one, least of all myself.
Heard Bob Newhart's take on the infinity number of monkeys story?
With the number of writers he hired I suspect he invented it

Ben has just been cheese shopping and bought some lovely Huntsman. It's Gloucester cheese with blue Stilton running through the middle.
Oooh Ben, please label your post NSFW! I very nearly rubbed myself raw at the thought of cheese shopping!
