Posted on Friday 21 November

Friday the 21st of November today and GARY PIHL (Boston Guitarist) turns 58. I think we'll stick on 'Long Time' for a change later!

I'm kinda half looking forward to and half dreading this weekend. The bit I'm looking forward to is the party we're off to tonight, and the bit I'm really NOT looking forward to is Sunday afternoon which I'm gonna be spending building 2 wardrobes, 2 bedside cabinets and 2 chests of drawers! Deep joy. They're all from a certain Swedish shop which means the instructions'll be done without words and will be in fecking pictures instead. Can't wait.

Anway, today is your final chance to win one of the Max Payne goodie bags we've been giving away every day on Drive this week. In each bag there's a Max Payne t-shirt, baseball cap and ripper wallet! Last chance to get your hot & sweatys on one just after 4 today!

And that's not an end to the winning, especially if you're a big Queen fan. Make sure you're listening next week as I'll have 4 pairs of tickets for an exclusive showing of Queen's LET THE COSMOS ROCK' concert that took place in the Ukraine in September. It's a 'one night only' special screening and YOU could be there!! It happens on Monday the 1st of December, which is World Aids Day, at the VUE Cinema in Hamilton and at the VUE in Livingston and we have two pairs of tickets for each venue! The screenings are in partnership with The Elena Franchuk AntiAids Foundation, a cause particularly close to the band and, as well as the tickets, we'll also chuck in a copy of the new Queen album 'The Cosmos Rocks' for 2 of our winners so don't miss out on your chance to win tickets to the exclusive screening of the gig PLUS a copy of the new album!!

Our new Fill My Hole continues to baffle and bemuse and, so far, nobody's got it so there's another chance to win the Rock Radio t-shirt and Justin Hawkin's used snot rag just after 2 today. Some of the less dumb answers we've had so far have included COLLABORATIONS, DRUMMING, SOLO STUFF, JAMMING, EXPERIMENTING, ROCKING, BEATBOXING, FREESTYLING, CHANGES, REFORMATIONS, ALTERATIONS, RESTING, ADVENTURING, CELEBRATING, MOVIES, FILMS, RELAXING. DRUMMING, DANCE, TOURING, MASHING, PARTYING, FOLK, CLASSICAL, STANDARDISING, MOSHING, CHILLING, TRYOUTS, MIXING, RAPPING, COMPOSING, R&B, ALTERNATIVES, PLAYING, THINKING and RE-RECORDING. They're all good but wrong so there's another chance to win just after 2.

Cheers to Elaine Cullen who sent us this list of 9 things women say….and what they actually mean! Thanks for the tips Lainey!

1. Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm.. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. 'That's okay' means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.

8. Whatever: Is a women's way of sayin F@!K YOU!

9. Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.

If you got any similar lists then fire them into me on an email.
