Its day 77 since I got an ipod for Christmas. I’ve downloaded 2483 songs onto my Ipod. But still haven’t used it. Although, its good to know, if a robber came by and stole my entire CD collection, I’d
still have all my favorite songs tucked safely onto my IPOD. This is definitely one of the reasons to love an Ipod. The other reason, I suppose, is actually ‘using’ it.
Its Irish week! Of course, on St Pattys Day, everyone is Irish. I’m half Irish and half French Canadian, so on St Pattys Day I usually have some green beer and a big plate of poutine. On this Friday’s morning show, we hope to connect with Brian Connelly, who is a radio announcer with a radio show from Dublin. He’ll be joining us by phone to give us the full scoop of St Pattys celebrations straight from Dublin Ireland! Problem is, our interview time is 12:45 pm Dublin time. The pubs will have been open for quite some time by then!!!! Make sure you tune in for some authentic Irish fun at 7:45 am Ottawa time.
Can you believe the controversy over that huge Tim Horton ‘Roll Up to Win’ story? In case you hadn’t heard, in a small town outside of Montreal a 10 year old girl found an empty Tim Horton’s coffee cup in the garbage. When her little fingers were too tiny to ‘roll up the rim’, she asked her 12 year old friend for help. Sure enough, the 12 year old peels back the rim and ‘booom’, it’s a winning coffee cup!!!! The Prize: A Toyota RAV 4 SUV!!!! Here we are, over a week later, and a) the 10 year old’s parents think she should get the truck b) the 12 year old’s parents think that she should be the sole winner of the truck and c) the custodian who threw the coffee cup in the garbage in the first place, has hired a lawyer, and is demanding DNA samples be taken from the cup to prove that it ‘was’ his in the first place, and that HE should be the winner of the truck. So far, Tim Horton’s Donuts has remained silent on the issue. Probably a good idea. I’m sure its just a matter of time before we hear that the school bully is also demanding the truck.
It may only be the month of March, but it won’t be long before our schedules start to fill up quickly for the summer, especially on the weekends. If you’re an animal lover, circle the date ‘July 8th’ 2006 on your calendar. The whole family is invited to a good old fashioned country fair at the Big Sky Ranch Animal
Sanctuary, just outside of Kemptville. Big Sky is a safe haven for unwanted and abused animals. Right now there are 171 animals living here, from horses and donkeys to cats and dogs. Owner Andy Parent and his volunteers do their best to rehabiliate these animals and find them homes, but many are here to live out their days in a comfortable, peaceful setting. Donations are desperately needed! For more info, click on the ‘pet friendly’ section of BOB FM’s website and you’ll find a link to the Big Sky Ranch! And don’t forget to book July 8th, for tons of fun, entertainment, animals and prizes at Big Sky! Bob FM will be there, hope to see you!!!
