The One With The Mixoff

Maf gets soundly trounced in the Life On Mars Mixoff...and although voting is still open, it's a pretty open and shut case?

Both files are linked at the bottom of the page so you can make up your own minds and don't forget to cast your votes by going to http://www.snugradio.co.uk and using the 'contact us' form.

We also discussed the new addition to the Snug Network. The pilot episode of the Fluffy & Tamara show is coming soon (see next post). They're radio virgins, so let the girls (and us) know what you think at snugradio@yahoo.co.uk. We're sure they'd love to get some feedback.

Listener Feedback (or, 'Previously on The Snug')
Tamara sent us these wonderful Birthday Wishes:

Dear Maf and Lee
First of all Happy Snug Birthday to you both!
Unfortunately you didn't do a big birthday present begging campaign, so even though I knew the birthday was coming up, I had no idea how soon it was. So this year's present is.... my graditude...
Here are 4 reasons I appreciate the Snug

1. Music, I have been reintroduced to music from my past that I had forgotten about (for example Fergal Sharky A Good Heart) and been introduced to new music (James Blunt and Nizlopi) So thanks for that!

2. Friends, you see I am a reclusive social person. Meaning I like to hang out with people but they usually need to come to my house. When I found the Snug just over a year ago I was in need of social time but wasn't sure how to go about it. The Snug was a perfect solution.

3. Getting me out of my shell. The very fact I am singing and sending it to you amazes me. You've allowed me to break out of my comfort zone and do something just for the fun of it.

4. Time for myself. Quite a few times over the past year people have tried to get me to do things on a Thursday (babysit, work out of the house, run an errand etc.) But I have been firm that Thursdays at 1:00 is time I am not avaliable. I tend to do things for others and not give time to myself, The Snug has helped me take that time for me.

So all in all I truly appreciate the time you take each week to put the Snug on. I look forward to many more shows. Thank you so much. Love, Number one international listener

This Is True:
Three men from Singapore went on a trek to Japan to seek out a karate expert to
appease one of the men's dying father. But the trio, aged 25 to 50, had to be rescued from Mt. Iwaki in Japan after they called for help: none of them were wearing appropriate clothing for a mountain trek. "Japan looked so small on the world map that we thought we would be able to find him straight away," one of the men said. (Reuters) ...Unlike how gigantic Singapore is.
