When a radio presenter takes time off from work unexpectedly there's almost a 'juicy' story behind the absence. Sorry to disappoint you, but in my case there’s been no ‘sweary’ incident, no tabloid scandal, no visit to The Priory and not even a bit of discreet cosmetic surgery. Just an old fashioned sickie.
While my book reading, dvd watching and radio listening output has doubled, I've realised how much I miss the show. Stuck in my bed for the week it took an incredible amount of will power to stop myself coming into work. My production team have to put up with a lot, but seeing me in my pyjamas is something I don't think I want to put them through. Mind you a senior producer at The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ did turn up to visit me with home made scones, lemon cake and proper coffee in a china cup. Paul even offered to get the Brooklyn Cafe to send round a roll and sausage! Can you see why I love working here?
Thanks to Vic Galloway for looking after the show last week, and Vic's back tonight with a round up of all the 'pound for Pudsey' songs he didn't have time for last week. If the Botox scars have healed then I'll be back at work on Tuesday with some great themes.
Tuesday's theme has been suggested by Kieran Brown in Glasgow. He recently saw 50 Cent in concert and suggests 'Money' as a theme. That could include Dirty Cash, Dire Straits or Dollar so let me know what you want to hear...especially if it's not Dollar!
Wednesday is No Music Day on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland , so Get It On is dedicating an hour to some of the important moments in the history of rock 'n' roll… I'll be joined by a guest list of music journalists as we look back at some of the events that changed music.
Thursday - After the success of the Girls' Names show, it's time the boys got their own back. From Alfie to Ziggy Stardust, if you have a favourite then leave a comment below or send an e-mail to gteiton@bbc.co.uk...
It’s good to be back!
