Radio 1
Back in the Olden Days of Yore^TM, the Evening Session was good. (You remember those days?) One evening my ears pricked up: they'd been running a competition in which the prize was a trip to the Reading Festival (when it was good, too) on the Radio 1 bus, with all-areas passes and the whole works, for the winner and a friend.

The winner was about to be announced.
It was N.
I was at school with N; she'd been in my A-level French group and had been going out with my friend B, whom I've had cause to mention on these pages several times before. Even by this point, a year or two into our respective university careers, they were still an item in their own slightly weird and obsessional way. Naturally, N decided that she'd take B with her.

So off they went, and back they came, and, naturally, I wanted to know what had happened. Which bands'd they seen? To whom had they spoken? What had they blagged?

"Um, it wasn't quite like that," said B, who was rather familiar with all kinds of pills and powders. "We didn't really see all that much. We just kind of sat around the campfire for a lot of the time."

He sensed my incredulity and began to explain.
"Well, you see, [INSERT FAMOUS RADIO DJ's NAME HERE] had the biggest bag of the most amazingly high quality coke I've ever seen. So we basically spent the weekend snorting that. He's a really nice guy."


No. Before you ask, it wasn't Westwood.

Was it David Lee Travis?

Don't be daft...
It would've been Tony Blackburn. And I bet he got it off Edmonds.
