I've been listening to 'The Making of Modern Medicine' weekdays at 3.45 on Radio 4. It's really rather interesting.

How To Recycle A Goat tomorrow will have a great beginning and a great sign off. I'm still working on the middle bit.

On tonight's Gobstopper spectacular:

- Local indie band and top chaps, Columbia.

- A mystery studio guest booked at the last minute because the one we did have is ill and

- this weeks little legend is friend to all dogs and men with moustaches, Bob Carolgees.

As well as that, we're running with a "foot in mouth" topic, after Wayne Bridge said:

"The important thing is that we've got the three points"

But after the Carling Cup final, where no points are awarded.

Send your gaffs and examples of putting your foot in it to:

gobstopper@bbc.co.uk

Hugs and kisses,

Shack

Oh Lordy, my mum recently committed a verbal faux pas of epic proportions...can't wait to mail it in.

Listening to the goat for the first time, me likey. The zuh-zuh-zuhs originate from Afrika Bambata's "Planet Rock" when they forgot the words and just kept the zuhs in the final recording.

Cool, I didn't know that. I do know that's one of Neil Tenant's favourite songs, but that's about it.

It all went a tad Alan Patridge at the end, but I thought the show went well tonight.

Ohhh, Sostie. I laughed like a drain.

So did I...particularly at Shack's spot on impression of my Mum's Irish accent! Bless he wasn't to know...then again, in view of his New Yoik one, he may well think its spot on

I think he should read everyone's email in voices. I nearly peed.

I am a master of dialect and the way people speak.

I'm still not sure if I was allowed to say "punani" or not. Too late now I suppose.

Thanks for the mails folks!!!

Hilarious. Bless Sostie's mom.

edit:Thumbs up for Husky Rescue.

Glad you liked it Mr C.

Husky Rescue are top, I've been listening to the album quite a lot.

Since I haven't done as much planning this week as I normally do, HTRAG will feature the some of the songs I DJed with last night, so expect a mix of classic 80s synth pop, particularly the kind generated in Sheffield, soul, motown, electro, hip-hop, one Metallica song, and lots of other good stuff.

Always two there are, no more, no less. A wanker, and a wankee.

Look, it's our actual promo....


On Gobstopper tonight (Wed 14 March)….

"We’ve tracked down one of our childhood heroes and will be speaking to him live –he’s now an artist living and working in South London, but he spent most of the 1990s as the silent lab-coated “Les” from Vic Reeves Big Night Out! We hold a spirit level to this weeks “Little Legend” – FRED AYLWARD.

We’ve also live music in the studio from queen of the Skelton blues scene, the brilliant VERITY BURTON, and we’re joined by gobby Geordie comic GAVIN WEBSTER.

Plus our special Gobstopper correspondent SHAUN KEOGH joins us direct from one of the biggest music festivals in the world. He’s currently mingling with the likes of Amy Winehouse and Pete Townsend at the South By South West festival in Austin, Texas, and reports to us live!

Plus all the latest reviews and gossip from KAREN SLATER, and the usual selection of cooler-than-school music."


This week we're after examples of you or people you know being thrown out of things, where and for what reason...

Send your mails to gobstopper@bbc.co.uk.

And check my signature for the link...

And on How To Recycle A Goat this evening, I'll be playing tracks from the new LCD Soundsystem album and making everything else up as I go along.

Edit: Oh, probably be playing some Fall, Grandmaster Flash, The Smiths, other stuff. Should be alright.

Shack has made my day.

His vocal skills are indeed uncanny

What can I say, I have a flair for language...

How about the potentially amusing and only slightly racist 'Shack's Accents of the World' section for the future 9.00-10.00 section of the show?

We're after suggestions to be honest. Our creativity only stems as far as coming up with stupid album titles or terrible TV show ideas. I like the accent one, although I think Jonathan Ross has had to stop doing accents due to complaints.

I think they're funny. AND accurate.

I will miss Karen lots. (insert very glum face here)

She was the sound of hotness.

Well, after me, obviously.

Hopefully I'll get to see her outside of the show as she's ace.

If only I lived nearer, I could come in each week and sit colouring in and occasionally quietly giggling off mic. I'm still getting fan mail!

Only from Sostie...

Well you did stay within the lines. That's wife material that is.

I'd be interested to see how she gets on with "painting by numbers", but we aren't allowed paint in the studio.

Or beer apparently. Last night we got told off for drinking beer brought in for us by the big bosses themselves. I nearly put the long white tummy hair on their desk to teach them a lesson.

I thought it falling out would be the end of it.. alas no.

Not now it's sellotaped to the front of my notebook.

It can live forever.

If I ever see that I will vomit, immediately.

I'll start carrying a bucket.

That's just practical generally, you never know when you might need a bucket.

I might use it as my new manbag, start setting a trend...

That'll be one in the eye for London.

Shack, I think your hair needs its own Myspace now. I laughed at the "It landed in a S-shape!" bit. Radio is not this entertaining over here.

Please don't encourage him.

Craig - I've always liked you. I think I might start it up. I could arrange it into different shapes and add pictures of those shapes.

Don't listen to Zoe, she secretly loves the hair and is trying to steal it.

You'd have to give it a name, of course. What would you call it?

Shacklhair.

Like eclair. But not as nice to eat.

Two birds, one stone. You've got your name, and a signature. Brilliant! Despite Karen and Zoe gagging, this should definitely happen.

All that remains is the question of who you want to impress.

I live only to impress Sostie.

Karen actually asked to see the hair yesterday before closing her eyes and telling me to put the notebook away. It's a step in the right direction.

You had me at "New Yoik".

i saw said notebook on tuesday. highlight of my week...

You've all gone wrong.

Bless you. I can't wait for the batting cages.

Bear in mind that dandan is VERY hard to impress. The highlight of his week is usually You've Been Framed so that just shows how much he likes my hairbook.

Have you considered a Shack range of stationary? Your belly could be harvested and a range of hairy pens, pencils, erasers etc made and sold through W H Smiths.

The future is now, the future is Shacklhair lunchboxes.

Are you going to bring the Shacklair to SONY? I REALLY want to see it!

But of course. As well as being the notebook I scribble thoughts down in, it also fills the roles of address book and something I can write lists of things in so I don't forget stuff.

I bet you can hairdly wait. Wah ha ha.

Remember to travelogue it, Palin-style.

You could even call it Around Americ-hair in 80 Days...
