Our recommended movie of the week was Epic and Sarah won tickets to the cinema. We enjoyed listening to some of your more unusual Bank Holiday plans. The Johnson Family finally won an edition of Family Fortunes. It was day 5 for Chris in Gone in 60 Seconds he scored 8 and now has £550 in the bank.

The connection on the 5@9 was boys names.

On Air - We learnt in Fakers that a banana isn’t a fruit it’s actually a herb! Women spend £100 (on average) on a bikini. We also learnt that it is actually dangerous to sing and drive at the same time, that you’re more likely to have an accident if you are a lawyer and Gemini’s make the best drivers. Richard dominated the Pub Quiz. We loved Britain’s favourite catch phrases, ‘not arf’…We learnt that GIF is actually pronounced Jif. Chris scored a brilliant 9 and now has £400 in the bank. We also enjoyed the world’s fastest toilet.

The 5@9 Connection was parts of a song:

Michael Jackson - BeatIt
Ian Dury – Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Freak Power – Tune In, Turn On, Cop Out
Meatloaf – You Took the Words Right Out Of My Mouth
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under The Bridge

On Air – In Fakers Downsy tried to fool Crocker and Richard into thinking that the canned laughter you hear on BBC TV shows is the same canned laughter on every show originally recorded in 1954. 90% of us have at least one junk draw (usually found in the kitchen). We loved David Brent teaching us to play guitar. Downsy trounced Crocker in the ipod Shuffle Game with his spectacular knowledge of detective shows from the 80’s . We learnt if you live up north you can go to bakery where everything for sale is a pound there is also a café which has the same sales policy ….. Eggs Florentine probably not available. Chris had another strong performance in Gone in 60 Seconds scoring 8 and adding £50 to his £350. We loved your random middle names.

Downsy's favourite shop in Royal Wootton Bassett where not everything is a pound....

The Connection on the 5@9 was one word adjectives

Perfect – Fairground Attraction
Dangerous – Roxette
Crazy – Gnarls Berkley
Oblivious – Aztec Camera

On Air - In Fakers we leant that space smells of steak. A fifth of adults in Britain go two or more days without brushing their teeth. (FYI if that is you your breath stinks). Richard scored a record equaling 14 describing red things in WTF. Bristol is the tenth most popular holiday destination for foreign tourists. 53% of us are addicted to our mobiles and 94% would rather go without sex than their phone. We were pleased that Bristol school girl Rebecca Lee, a year 6 pupil at Christ Church Primary, wrote to the education secretary Michael Gove after she noticed mistakes in her SATS test. Chris did extremely well in Gone in 60 Seconds scoring a fabulous 10 he now has £350 in the bank. Downsy did a switcheroo for the Bristol Quiz, for one week only it became the Jersey Quiz (Jersey being Richard’s ‘home town’) ….Crocker still managed to win! We also learnt that John Major’s dad was one of Britain’s major manufacturers of garden gnomes.

The 5@9 connection was items of clothing

Madness – Baggy Trousers
The Cardigans– Erase & Rewind
Haircut 100 – Favourite Shirts
Men Without Hats – Safety Dance
Paolo Nutini – New Shoes

Here's what happens if you cry in space:

Tomorrow – Downsy and Crocker will display an appalling lack of music knowledge in the ipod Shuffle Game at 7.10am. Plus will Chris risk his 350 quid? Find out in Gone in 60 Seconds at 8.10am.

Alice Crocker — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:11:26 +0000

On Air – In Fakers Crocker couldn’t fool Richard or Downsy into thinking that the Aborigines have over 20 words for dust. 20% of single men haven’t changed their sheets in over a year! Downsy had a great time at his best friend’s wedding, wink wink nudge nudge, say no more! (It didn’t involve the mother of the bride). Crocker won the Weekend Quiz. We played Tweekenders, which involved the weekend and celebrity tweets. Chris was back for his second day of Gone in 60 Seconds, he scored 8 and now has £150 in the bank.

The connection on the 5@9 was that they all won Best Picture at the Oscars:

We discussed our favourite childhood treats we were allowed for good behavior, Crocker was delighted that you can actually still buy Cherry 7up. James became our greatest ever contestant on Gone in 60 Seconds scoring 9, he now has a record breaking £725 in the bank. Downsy and Richard got their ukuleles out, much to Crocker’s annoyance. We played the genius that is the Fergie Quiz in honour of Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.

On Air – We learnt in Fakers this morning that Cat Steven’s isn’t allergic to cats. 67% of us have suffered bruising after injuring ourselves in the bathroom. Crocker was disappointed she wasn’t allowed to be Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager in the pub quiz, she was even more disappointed that she only scored 3. Richard won the Pub Quiz scoring a 5. James from Yate did a brilliant on Gone in 60 Seconds scoring 10 he now has £275 in the bank. We liked the real estate company in the States that are offering employees a 15% pay increase if they get the company name/logo tattooed on to themselves….. So far they’ve had 40 people have taken up the offer. We played the Definitions Game, which wasn’t in any way a set up against Downsy. In listener news we were shocked that Tom’s wife had an actual spider stuck in her ear.

On Air – We learnt that Tom Hanks is a descendent of Abraham Lincoln. Experts say you can fall asleep 27% faster if you wear socks to bed. Downsy triumphed over Crocker in the ipod Shuffle Game, he won hands down despite Crocker’s comprehensive knowledge of Bananarama songs. We learnt that the most memorable movie moment of all time is that bit in ET when Elliot flies past the moon on his bike. No one liked Downsy’s New York accent. James scored 8 out of 10 on today’s rather shambolic Gone in 60 Seconds he now has 75 quid in the bank. Crocker liked the Dutch designers who have come up with some GENIUS idea’s for the roads - self-illuminating weather warning signs painted onto the tarmac, a dedicated lane capable of recharging electric cars on the go and glow in the dark paint!

We also liked the latest hair craze in Japan…..tomato hair!
