New Logo

7 Aug

I am loving the new logo I made. Thankyou Chat GBT! It is of me and Rab C Nesbit sat in the studio. The logo was very complicated to do, as I needed to change the background quite a bit, by changing what was on the screens. This was very fiddly to get right and at one point, Chat GBT gave me a complete facelift, which meant that I had to go back and upload another image of me and get Chat GBT to make me look more like me. (However, the facelifted me is better looking!)

I have the logo with the Weird and Wonderful World of Aaron Bennett uploaded here on the website, while there is a version without the banner, which is used on my Facebook Profile.

I am quite happy with the final outcome and it was worth fiddling for ages to get this right. If I had the real Rab C in the studio, it would be chaos though! (Even though my shows are total chaos anyway!

RIP Bonnie Tyler

13 Jul

I know this happpened a few days back, but I wanted to post my tribute to the late Welsh singer. She will be greatly missed and her music will live on forever.

Of course, she was my Featured Artist on Sunday’s Nice n’ Easy.

Ceiling Fan

13 Jul

Due to the hot weather, I got myself a ceiling fan. My neighbor got me one off Temu, but it was crap and broke when it was being fitted. So I got this beauty off Amazon for ยฃ75. I had a Electrician come and fit it for me for ยฃ50, which was very reasonable.

I had to dim the lights to tale the picture, but it looks really nice. It has 6 speeds, can spin in either way, the lighting colours can be altered to be more amber or bright white and as mentioned before, the light can be dimmed.

It took my Electrician James,, a good couple of hours to install, but it is so worth it, as it keeps the room nice and cool. I have it on most days now.

I jot a stack of other jobs for James to do round the house for me in the coming months ๐Ÿ™‚

If you need a DIY Job doing in Blackpool,ย  (regardless of how big or small) give James King Construction and Property Maintenance a ring on 07947 735489 and tell him Radio Aaron sent you.

Review: Toy Story 5

24 Jun

So I went to watch Toy Story 5, at the local I-Max Cinema today. I loved the film, it was just as good as the previous films.

It follows the story of Buzz, Woody and the other toys, who are now living with Bonny.ย  However, Bonny gets a Tablet Computer called Lillypad and stops playing with Bonnie. When Jessie gets separated from the other toys, it is up to Buzz and Woody, (with some help of stranded Buzz Lightyear Dolls) to get Jessie back to Bonnie and to help Bonnie make new friends, that like her for who she is.

My findings:

Animation: 10\10

Music: 10/10

Story: 10/10

Characters: 10/10

So this gets a max rating of 10% from me and is a film the whole family can enjoy. It doesn’t have scary bits and can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.

Many thanks to the Arc Cinema in Blackpool, for making a great viewing experience. I suggest watching the film in the I-Max Cinema, for the best viewings. (Plus it has reclining seats!)

Sorry For The Lack Of Posts

12 Nov

Sorry I have not been blogging for a while – this is caused by multiple things…. Work being busy as people are off on Annual Leave, (Maria and Pat) and I am covering the till. I have another bloody UTI and Radio stuff. However, I am still alive, (just) and will be back to full blogging mode soon.

However, I will quickly show off my new desk at work… It’s at the end of the Sort Table and allows me to do what I need to do, without having to hog the kitchen table. I am even getting a new chair soon, which is the chair in the office. (Once Bethan gets a new one sorted)

Of course, Splodge is doing my head in… She won’t leave the chains alone on the Cuckoo Clock, but you still have to love her. ๐Ÿ™‚ Speaking of the Cuckoo Clock, I am going to email the clock repair man in Blackpool and book him to come and fix it.

Making Lucy Crease Herself With Laughter!

2 Nov

Today was very busy. I finally got round to clearing the top of the lockers. Unfortunately there was loads of cardboard and other rubbish up there, as well as the costumes for fundraising and the Resussi Annie Doll. The costumes got boxed and put on top of the lockers, along with the Resussi Annie Doll. It looks alot better. It took ages to sort out and it meant taking loads of cardboard this down to the bins. This took several trips.

We also managed to tidy the Work Room. This took quite a bit of work as well and meant taking loads down to the bins. Our bin shed is now full to the brim. Thankfully tomorrow, I will be putting the bins out, so we will get getting rid of loads and loads of rubbish. The Work Room won’t stay tidy for long, as we are always getting donations and I am sure that we will be getting a delivery of more stuff in the coming days!

Tidied Stock Room

I did manage to do some work on the shop floor, as well as my normal cleaning duties and sorting out the locker room. I served customers and tidied up the shop floor at the same time. We also did all the Health and Safety Checks, which included the Fire Alarm Test.

Then, I managed to make Lucy crease herself with laughter. While I was cleaning the toilets, (at the end of the day) Dirty Blondes kept coming on our radio channel. The 1st message was about an order for table 23. Then when I was downstairs, I heard them call: “Hello hello hello?”

I could not help myself and had to sing Adele down the radio. “Hello, it’s me, I’ve ordered a Pepperoni Pizza and I’m sat at table 23!” This made Lucy almost wet herself with laughter! For me this was very quick whited and extremely hilarious. I wonder what Dirty Blondes thought or if they realized it was us having some fun with them? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It just proves, we have far too much fun at the British Heart Foundation! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Open The Handbag

29 Oct

So I went to Peek-a-booze tonight and sung a few songs on karaoke. At the end of the night, I got to play open the handbag and won a free shot!

my pc is acting up again, so posting on my phone. Of course Splodge is being nosey and wants to know what I’m doing!

A Tribute To The Late Prunella Scales

28 Oct

With the sad passing of Prunella Scales today – who was amazing in Fawlty Towers. She played Sybil Fawlty – the Matriarch of the Hotel, bossing her Husband Basil around and often beating up Mr O’Riley, who is the Cowboy Builder; that Basil often employs to do odd jobs round the hotel. However, he always seems to “botch” any work that Basil gets him to do, infuriating Cybil and often resulting with several slaps from her handbag!

I got Chat GPT to make this tribute to her. It is a image of her stood behind the Reception Desk in Heaven, checking in those that have recently arrived.

Rest in Peace Prunella. xx

If you have not seen Fawlty Towers, watch the below video, which is where Sybil attacks O’Riley!!!

If you want my favourite Fawlty Towers Moment, it has to be the scene in the episode “The Germans”, where Basil insults the German Guests and does the silly walk! “Horderves… Horderves…ย  Which must be obeyed at all times, without question!” ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
