Where Have We Bean?!


It's been a while, eh?!  Since our last post, we've been to many places.  Many, many places.  I think we've been to Pembrokeshire once or twice by mistake.  And Holyhead.  But we don't mention that.

Most places we travel to, we end up at by mistake.

*Arriving at junction*
COYOTE:  Left or right?
ROADRUNNER:  I chose last time
COYOTE: I know...but that was at the car wash.

Anyway...I'm here to introduce a brand new, interactive, ridiculous thing that we're doing.  Basically; we take photos of where we've been with a tin of, y'know, beans, in the photo.  Like this:

Coyote looking beany buff ;) 

And YOU - you lovely people - deduce from the beany photo where we've been!  Does that sound like fun?!  Yes.  Yes...it does.  But you won't win anything if you get it right.  Yet again, you might.  We may have something in the C&R cupboard that we'll award you for your knowledge.  Like an odd sock or a napkin from KFC.

If you're not lucky enough to win one of these coveted prizes, you can bask in the smugness of smarty-pantsness.  Which is probably more rewarding than receiving one of the afore-mentioned 'prizes' in the post.  Second class.

And that's about it!  We'll be posting our beany photos here and on Twitter...and we hope you join in!

Lots of love;

C&R xx

PS - Don't ask where the idea came from.  All I'll say is that a small tin of baked beans has been sitting on the back seat of the car for a long, long time.

Any Questions?


This is the 99th post on our blog.  We toyed with the idea of writing something about red balloons or ice creams with Flakes in them...but we figured that would be far too cheesy and probably wouldn't make for a particularly interesting post.  Unless you're heavily into those things.  In which case, we're sure there are dedicated websites out there for your specialist interests - and probably some very good psychiatrists. 

So having had a bit of a think, we decided that we'd use this post to promote - and get your involvement in - our 100th.  And what are we doing for our 100th post?  An interview!  Yes; an actual interview with questions and answers and everything that's normally associated with interviews and this sentence has gone on far too long without punctuation!  Phew.

And who, pray tell, has stupidly kindly agreed to attend this exclusive interview?  *Drum roll...* The one...the only...the sprout-scoffing, kitsch music-loving, pasta-dropping, Mick Jagger-imitating Man of the Roads himself: MR MARK BUCKLEY!  You thought it was going to be Huw Edwards, didn't you?  Sorry.  Can't do that.  I'm still scared of him.

Now - dear reader - this is where you come in.  We need your questions.  You can ask him anything.  Yes - ANYTHING.  For instance; you could ask him about the intricacies of juggling travel broadcasts for BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Oxford, BBC Radio Leicester, The Wave, Swansea Sound and Real Radio Wales.  You could ask him what it's like to step into Chris Needs' shoes and present a show to thousands of listeners (yes - he's done that several times and survived!).  You could ask him what size shoes he takes.  You could ask him what his favourite type of underwear is.  You could even ask him for advice...but I wouldn't recommend it. Yes - you really can ask him ANYTHING!

If you have any burning questions you'd like to put to Mark, send them via the usual channels.  I'll be taking questions for up to a week - so get in touch!

This could prove to be a highly insightful, entertaining and embarrassing enjoyable interview.  It'll be what you make it...

SO GET ASKING!
