Aha! Yeah Nemone must have swallowed what I had for her completely. Basically I sent the photo to a mate of mine who works for another ad agency (so if they checked out the company it'd look genuine), then got her to send it back to me as an attachment with no message text in the email. Then I forwarded her email to Radio 1, but added some text into her email first, saying how she'd just been given a bollocking from her boss who'd found out that she'd printed that poster and got it put up before the proper client poster was ready to go up in that space and that I owed her a big favour for it cos she was off to go and try to keep her job right now... Ingenious? I think it must be getting close to it.

Got the idea from a World War II true story, where the English dropped a dead body off into the sea knowing it would be washed up on a beach controlled by ze Germans. In the pockets of the uniform of the dead man were fake battle plans that they wanted ze Germans to think were real, so they also put in some fake personal letters and some fake nasty letters from his bank manager so ze Germans would believe he was the type of guy who would be careless enough to carry battle plans on him. They completely fell for it and moved entire divisions of ze German army out of the way of the real invasion force. Clever stuff. Me and Winston Churchill, peas in a pod.

Matty I've had nothing from Radio 1 at all mate. Will email them and see what's going on.

It was tough on Sunday the pitch looked really skiddy and it will take a while to get into it in those conditions, especially as you came on virtually cold. But fair play to Browny cos he stuck with it and turned things round, and fair play to the team cos they could see he was having a mare and everyone starting encouraging him. I can understand it was a frustrating game, but given the conditions I thought we looked pretty damn good - like someone said yesterday if you'd got that goal in the first 10 minutes the scoreline could have been a lot more representative. Smurfy's handling was superb and the whole team looked a lot more like last season again. 2 clean sheets in a row in the league, you can't argue with that.

So who's not available for Shalbourne on Sunday?
