StuRomseySaint Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 Fern Cotton just read my text out. :cool: Which reminded me of when The Saint used to be on, I used to phone up and win prizes almost daily, it got to the point I had to change my name because I had won free tickets to the home games 5 times running. Any other radio stations where it is good to win prizes out of?
dubai_phil Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 Did no-one else bother to phone? We should all have a "What have you won recently" thread just to make SRS feel inadequate
StuRomseySaint Posted 6 May, 2010 Author Posted 6 May, 2010 Did no-one else bother to phone? On Radio 1? Probably hundreds... but I am the funniest out the lot so they obviously pick me. One day you might be as funny as me. If you are on about The Saint... hardly anyone phoned so as long as you had your phone at the ready and phoned whilst they were reading the question ( which was p!ss easy ) then you would get through. Edit: Fern just mentioned me again... she wants me.
StuRomseySaint Posted 6 May, 2010 Author Posted 6 May, 2010 Did you have a job at those points? Yes, as I do now. Doesn't stop Fern Cotton creaming herself at my humour to the point she has now mentioned me twice. I work smarter, not harder though.
StuRomseySaint Posted 6 May, 2010 Author Posted 6 May, 2010 So you're on jobseekers? What to you think copper-top? I told you in a thread yesterday that I work with Martin Keowns brother ( that's not a lie, I do ) ... No news on the video yet I am afraid, he's been busy buying Oxford United playoff tickets.
Robsk II Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 Shame. I was only asking, Stu, because I thought you saying you work smarter than harder might be some sort of elaborate SRS code for 'I like to think I'm self employed' or 'I rob things', that sort of thing - whilst doig your patriotic duty by bringing down this ehinging leftie government by falsely claiming JSA. That sort of thing.
StuRomseySaint Posted 6 May, 2010 Author Posted 6 May, 2010 You look like Chris Moyles. I want to be like Chris Moyles. No, I don't want to be a radio dj, I am as fat as him but I want to be able to pull the women that he does. :-(

norwaysaint Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 Admitting to being the kind of person who regularly phones or texts into radio or TV shows and trying to claim to be a winner really don't fit well together.
StuRomseySaint Posted 6 May, 2010 Author Posted 6 May, 2010 Stu - what did you text exactly? She wanted to know if eating an out of date almond will make her sick. I said, " No, it won't make you sick Fern, it might make you go a bit nuts though" Oh how we laughed, comedy right out of the top drawer... she laughed, I laughed, 7 million people around the land laughed. She then said a while later after a couple of songs " Ooooh Stuey, I hope I don't go nuts " She wants me.
benjii Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 Admitting to being the kind of person who regularly phones or texts into radio or TV shows and trying to claim to be a winner really don't fit well together. ^ Yep.
Scudamore Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 I'm keen to know whether Martin Keown's brother also looks like a shaved ape...
hamster Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 I was once on Radio 1. Simon Bates chose us as the 'workplace of the day' and iirc played our request - Suzanne Vega's Luka. It's not that hard to get on the radio nowadays and as for The Saint I used to use all sorts of different names to win stuff, trouble was remembering who I was supposed to be when I picked them up from reception. Relegation year I literally could not give the tickets away so stopped entering, that Stu is probably when you started to win stuff....because I let him. Best win was probably a signed backstage roadie's tee-shirt signed by all of Nickelback. Never knew how popular they were so sold it on E-Bay for about £20. Actually I did win tickets for The Who at the Rosebowl but as I had family staying I gave them to my skate brother. A friend later that day when i told him called me a bad word and said he'd have paid me a hundred quid for them. Bugger!! Apparently it was a special concert for Who officianados, something to do with the drummer perhaps? Anyway, can;t stand the Who and would have happily used the tickets as bog paper.
dune Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 I got "I want to have Alan Pardews babies from Mike Hunt" read out on Solent.:badgrin:
Colinjb Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 I used to be a Radio DJ, Fact. It's a great if you are happy being paid next to nothing, or one of the very few who get famous.
Spudders Posted 6 May, 2010 Posted 6 May, 2010 When the fire radio station first started up in Bournemouth I won a few prizes until they told me that I should give someone else a chance. Instead of changing my name and calling, I just got the hump with them and never listened to them again.
Wiltshire Saint Posted 7 May, 2010 Posted 7 May, 2010 Admitting to being the kind of person who regularly phones or texts into radio or TV shows and trying to claim to be a winner really don't fit well together. What do you know about it? You don't even live in England.

gaz Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 I had Dotun Adebayo read out a text of mine on 5 Live's World Football Phone-In. I asked Tim Vickery what Agustin Delgado was up to after he left us. The answer was 'not a lot' lol.

Any other radio stations where it is good to win prizes out of? We won 4k worth of dental treatment for my daughter in a comp on The Saint. The NHS had let us down and kept us waiting and waiting then said because of her age we had to pay ...she was 16 and we had been on the list 18 months. I won the comp and she had the treatment and her teeth now are fantastic. I also won match tickets regularly - never listen to the show thats taken over Play Ragio its absolute sh1te.

Any other radio stations where it is good to win prizes out of? Strangley, (and as you should well know) BFBS! Me and my old gaffer used to have a bit of a competition to see who could win the most prizes - we used to target a sort of 'gadget show' - can't remember the name of it. He won about 5 or 6 decent prizes, including a PC and television set, I was less lucky in that I won a PC encyclopedia and a box set of some old tv series (name escapes me - but Joanna Lumley was in it, I think). However I also walked off with a guitar signed by Gordon Haskell - sweet. What do you mean Gordon who...?? Google it, bloody google it....!!!
