February 23rd - Show 94 - Podcast 7

The One that's Soopadoopa.

Tonight we dig out the Skype microphone and proceed to have the usual shenanigans.

We start with a quick call to Lees wife so she can tell us the name of the artist he can't remember. it turns out it's JH Lynch http://www.jhlynch.org who produced the iconic 'lady looking sexily round tree' from the 70's. A picture everyone knows (your auntie or gran had it)

Then we skyped Rob. Rob used to be our Skype Sniper but University is eating into his Snug schedule...sheesh! If we have any volunteers for a new Skype Sniper, drop us a line.
Rob is building a media pc so we geeked out for a few minutes as we discuss tv cards and connections etc.

It also appears that some people (including Rob) are having problems listening live on Live365! We believe you can solve these problems by going to http://www.live365.com/downloads/start365/index.html
and using this player

We discuss ethics and the scanning of business emails for un-workrelated content. What would YOU do if you found emails showing a colleague having and affair?? Find out how Maf handled it.

February 16th - Show 93 - Podcast 6

Yaay....It's Tamara's Birthday...our number one international listener gets one year old.. erm ..prettier. Warning...We sing 'Happy Birthday'!!!

We started early on Life on Mars...If you're not watching this program, you're really missing out...especially if you're our age and lived in the UK in the 70's...see the link in the last shownotes then get yourself over to www.mininova.org and download yourself a few episodes...that should keep you going till the DVD's come out.

We issue spoiler warnings as we delve into another set of inventive deaths with our reviews of Final Destination 3.

We go Badger mad with our cool site of the week: www.badgerbadgerbadger.com
yes, it's old hat...but crikey, it's catchy...look out for a Snug version soon!

What's your take on the ethics of using insects in experiments? We're sure it they were cute fluffy kittens, y'all'd have a problem but Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches?? check out http://conceptlab.com/control and let us know what you think.

Talking of controlling lower life forms, some Welsh geezer has invented a unique pest removal alarm... apparently it emits a frequency only heard by teenagers and is for use around shopping centres or high streets to stop vandalism.

Only one 'real' tune tonight: Elvis - Lonesome tonight (laughing version)
of course, Joe 90 and some badgers made several musical appearances


Harikaraoke tonight was: Tobacco Road by The Nashville Teens
and Moonlighting by Leo Sayer.

February 9th - Show 92 - Podcast 5

The One With Buttercup.

Joining us tonight, with her 'voice for mime', is the delectable Buttercup.
We discuss the vagaries of the Welsh language, mad religious fanatics who really need to calm down, more 'Life on Mars' (www.bbc.co.uk/lifeonmars) , Lost and even Prison Break which has just started on UK TV. We try and get some personal info out of buttercup (it's like pulling teeth!) and try and stop her fiddling with her mic stand. Other than that there's just too much nonsense in this show to do notes...just have a listen.

Tonights songs were:
'Ride Gypsy Ride' by The Giro Gypsies
'Build me up, Buttercup' by The Foundations.

Harikaraoke tonight was : Shout by Lulu

February 2nd - Show 91 - Podcast 4

The one with Tamaras present

Our Christmas present from one of our Canadian listeners, Tamara, has arrived. She has the excuse of living on an island though. So we'll forgive her. Coffee and chocolate always goes down a treat in The Snug!

If you're a podcast listener, we'd like to know where you listen to The Snug...is it on your commute to and from work? or do you have a special Snug place just for us? (like the bathroom). Let us know either by email snugradio@yahoo.co.uk or going to www.snugradio.co.uk and leaving us a message using the 'contact us' box.

Lee wants to push his new website design business. His company is http://www.nyasite.com which, ironically, isn't finished. But he's also done:
http://www.andrewclifford.co.uk
http://www.lemonlogo.co.uk
as well as being the technical guru behind our site www.snugradio.co.uk.

Tonights Harikaraoke is 'I am...I Said' by Neil Diamond

This show contains the usual mix of mockery and nonsense and is probably rated 15 (or PG-13) as we spend sometime discussing breast-feeding and swear occasionally.
