Day 1 of getting up at 3:50am
With Rachel on 鈥淒ay release鈥 I got to see what it was like to be the studio producer for a few days. To be honest with you I thoroughly enjoyed it even if I do find myself in the strange situation of being sat at home at 5pm waiting for my flatmates to arrive having already done a 13 hour day! Weird things like sleep become the most important thing in your day and you find yourself talking to everyone about it (fyi I got 3hours 50 last night and technically speaking if I want a full 8 hours tonight I should be in bed at ten to 8 this evening 鈥 yeah right!).
If you haven't heard today's show, well I'd recommend you take a pop on over to Listen Again and do just that, because I must be honest I feel it went quite well. Today Chris had loads of X-Factor clips from the weekend, I had clips from the Big Brother press conference and Mary-Anne Hobbs randomly walked in the studio at 9:20 to inform you the listener that she a show of Leeds music this evening. Random, but brilliant. (Speaking of Big Brother, I was going to make this blog about that but I'm not sure how many of you were fans so instead .
The rest of the week may not have the pace or randomness that today's had, but then 鈥 you never know. Tomorrow I try my hand at being the Hostess with the leastess and chair Rob DJ's Monday Night Pub Quiz and then on Thursday James Nesbitt is popping in. And don't forget you can still register to go away with Jo Whiley to Reading Festival staying with her on a tour bus!
Right, that's it from me. I'm off to the gym, need to get my energy for my 3:50am start tomorrow morning!

i think aled has to much money and he should spend it wisley (i.e give me a few millions ) and stop spending it on lovely things that others carnt afford that stand is to good for him and it would look good under my portable tv he should donate it to a good cause (me )

Hi Aled,
must admit I'm not sure what a producer does on the show, but it's all sounding pretty good from here! :-)
Thanks for the aledhaydnjones.com link, I'd never seen the site before, it's really funny - more space for you to tell all the trivia that we all love to hear about !

Hi Aled,
I love the shows when you're in charge! It feels spontaneous and flows naturally.
And how cool is your TV set! I'd love to have one of that! My flat-screen tv is right now on an unimaginative white wooden shelf. Resolved to one day be as tasteful as yours!
Thanks for the warm blog. Keep up the good work.

Aled, is that a 360 under the TV?? if so what's your gamertag??

I am frankly jealous of that tv and the various bits underneath it - not to mention the stand!
Have to say though Aled you really do make the effort with your blogs - even though you have 13 hour days - you still have time for them.

Nice TV Aled. I only looked because Chris went on and on about it this morning. By the way, why did you have to move Rob DJ's pub quiz to the new time slot. I keep missing the answers because I'm parking the car and walking into work. Please can you move it back to the old time so us boring farts who enjoy pub quizzes don't miss half of it. Some of us don't earn enough to afford fancy electrical goods to get 24/7 entertainment.

Boooooo! Aled, you're losing your grip on your audience and subsequently all my faith and confidence in you. Try and remember just how priveliged you are being in the job that you have. Be more quiet on tomorrow's show as punishment.
Or do the Stress Test for 10 minutes every hour...

Hey...Nice TV stand.....I've got the same one (only in Silver). Oh and my TV is bigger than yours (I think!), but im not one to show off! (It took AGES to find that stand, it's one of the only one with 2 shelves that units can go side by side on, and that "suspends" the TV. ok...I'm sad...)
Enjoying the rambling blogs, keep it up! (oh er!)

I had a nice large flat screen TV once. I put it on a cheep Flat Pack stand from a well known orange DIY store. Other DIY stores are available.
I now no longer have that TV or stand, but wow what a bang. It was worth it and I would do it again when my insurance premiums drop again.

Sorry, nodded off there for a moment. I've been trying out the fad for abandoning the old-fashioned 8 hours every night in favour of a new system where I take 2 mins every 2 hours just to prevent the hallucinations and restock my neurons with their transmitter molecules. So far I've used the extra time gained by not sleeping to work out a new method for tying shoelaces without actually having to bend over, learnt how to play monopoly blindfolded, taken an exam in sushi rolling for beginners, and have solved a mathematical conundrum first postulated by Copernicus during his Depressed period. I'm thinking of

Ooops there I go again. Micro-sleeping can be slightly inconvenient at times, particularly when constant attention is required. In fact, some of the extra time I have available is not just due to reduced sleeping hours. It's also because I crashed the car last week - which meant I couldn't drive to the tribunal surrounding my perfectly lucid allegations that the local mayor is a mafia-employed drugs baron with an underground lair just south of Cumbernauld. In my absence from the tribunal I've been suspended without pay for six

Hello Aled,
Why has Comedy Daves picture been removed from the main Chris Moyles page?? It's a disgrace ;o) Not that big a disgrace, but it's a shame :o(
