• To Drink Or Not To Drink

  Today’s story about embarrassing yourself the first time you did something came from Shauna who had a bit of a faux pas in a Chinese restaurant. And I bet she’s not the first or the last to do it! Have a listen >>> CHINESE RESTAURANT

  Our survey of the day showed us that women feel more pressure to look good from other women rather than men. And are the days of the metrosexual really over?! How far is acceptable, according to the ladies, for a man to go to look good? >>> FASHION

  We’ll be back tomorrow with Frisday’s Beat Breakfast – talk t’ya at 6.50!

• Microwave Mishap

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2011/07/26/microwave-mishap/

  

  Ever wonder what happens when you put soap in a microwave?!? Well…today’s pic gives you an idea. If you’re bored at work (or even if you’re not) watch the video HERE! It’s deadly!

  Anyway…why am I talking about microwaves? Well, this morning we asked you again about the times you messed up when trying something for the first time. Today, we heard from Alan who had a bit of a mishap with a microwave when was working in a deli! >>> ALAN MICROWAVE

  Now, I’m off to see what else you can and can’t put in a microwave! Back tomorrow at 6.50.

• Oops!

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2011/07/25/oops/

  

  This morning we asked if you ever made a show of yourself the first time you tried to do something…and today’s pic sort of explains where I’m going. We heard from Lindsay who had only started driving when she went for a spin with her friend and ended up taking out a petrol pump! Have a listen >>> PETROL PUMP CRASH

  We also asked you to finish the following sentence: you know you’re getting old when…and you gave us plenty of answers >>> GETTING OLD

  Back tomorrow at 6.50!

• Poor Frank…

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2011/07/21/poor-frank/

  

  There was one topic that dominated this morning’s Beat Breakfast – Frank and his chest of drawers. Our Daily Dilemma emailer has to decide between two people to move into a room in her appartment.

  Have a listen to what we, and the listeners thought >>> Frank Dilemma

  That isn’t “Frank” in the pic, by the way. In fact we think it looks more like Niall as you’ll hear in the clip.

  And that’s Thursday! Can you smell the weekend?!

  Back tomorrow!

  Packed car – and that’s before everyone else piles into the back seat! This morning we recalled stories of 1980’s and 90’s style family road-trip holidays.

  Have a listen to our own stories and the really funny texts sent in by listeners about their nightmare trips with the family! >>> Summer Holidays

• TV NIGHTMARES

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2011/07/18/tv-nightmares/

  

  This morning on Beat Breakfast, we wanted to know what are the TV shows that your other half forces you to sit through. As a guy, I have watched more than my fair share of The Hills, Project Runway, Next Top Model and even Geordie Shore!

  Girls, we know, sometimes have to endure all kinds of sport and Top Gear among others.

  Have a listen to the official list >>> TV SHOWS

  We’re back tomorrow at 6.50!

• Oh, Hello Neighbour!

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2011/07/14/oh-hello-neighbour/

  

  This morning, we got a text froma listener who’s only LOVING the view from his gaff at the moment. With the good weather, his hot neighbour is out in the garden sunbathing – and he can’t help but have a look! This is not her, by the way. Just in case you’re wondering! Grand view all the same.

  We wondered if it’s okay to have a look if you like what you see nextdoor! >>> SUNBATHING NEIGHBOUR

  If asking the neighbour out on a date works, then this brings us on to the next topic! What to wear on a summer date. A leading dating website has just carried out a survey – and Niall had the results this morning.

  We also gave our opinions on what’s hot and what’s not! >>> FIRST DATE CLOTHES

• Speech Dilemma

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2011/07/13/speech-dilemma/

  

  Wedding speeches can be the making or breaking of a wedding. A bad one will be remembered as much as a good one so it’s important to get it right. Sometimes, it goes badly wrong and this morning’s our Daily Dilemma emailer was worried about her Dad’s spech at her upcoming wedding. Apparently he’s take the proverbial pee out of her two sisters befor and she doesn’t want to suffer a similar fate.

  We asked the listeners of the south east what they would do, or if they’ve ever been at a wedding when there was a really inappropriate speech made. Have a listen >>> Wedding Speech Blog

• Off To The Festival

  http://www.beat102103.com/beat-breakfast-blog/2011/07/07/off-to-the-festival/

  

  

  Liam was jealous of Mary and Gail’s fab Hunter wellies yesterday…so he decided to make his own. He thinks no one will know the difference!

  We’re off to Oxegen today and as you can probably tell from the pics, the giddiness has set in. We’ll be coming to you live from Punchestown right across the weekend, starting with Beat @ Work with Darren tomorrow.

  Beat Breakfast is at the later time of 3.50 and we have a great line-up of confirmed guests including The Script, Example, Wexford’s own Maverick Sabre, our good friends Royseven and Clare Maguire. And that’s just for starters! Who knows who’s gonna drop by the Beat studio over the weekend so you’d better be listening!

  If you’re going to Oxegen, enjoy and we’ll see you there! If not, we hope you enjoy our coverage over the next few days. Keep an eye on our facebook page, our podcast site and here as we’ll be updating all the time.
