Clock Radio

Me: Dave, look! It's 9:47 and we are listening to 94.7. Cool, hey?
Dave: Oh, man, we are SO lucky.

Must Be Funny

So Dave and I are driving home from work, listening to Radio 2 from Abu Dhabi.

RJ: ...and you can win dinner for two at Wafi City's Mahi Mahi!

Dave and me, in unison:  Mahi! Mahi!

(uncomfortable silence)

Faux Francais

QBS Radio has been the bane of my existance until now. QBS does not have a proper website so I will explain here that 30% of daily programming is in French. That has made for some fun times in the car on the way home from work. I have taken some notes of things that Dave has said in response to the French RJ:

C'est un marrionade.

Ce n'est pas un cheval; c'est un soixante!

and my favourite:

C'est un "onh onh!" c'est un "eeee eeee!"

What's the Name That Um, Titanic Song?

If you've ever wondered what ever happened to the good-old fashioned love ballad then The Search Is Over*: it's alive and well in the Gulf.

At the liquor store on Monday we heard: **
Careless Whisper
I Want To Know What Love Is
Lady In Red
How Am I Supposed To Live Without You

on the way home from the liquor store:
True - Spandeau Ballet!!!
Time After Time
I Want To Know What Love Is (for reals?)
Missing You

Then, yesterday, on the way to work we heard:
That's The Way Is *** (just the beginning of a day full of Celine Dion)

at the LuLu Hypermarket:
My Heart Will Go On
Beautiful (Christina Aguilera)
It's All Coming Back To Me Now
Beautiful (James Blunt)

at dinner at Pizza Express:
Careless Whisper
Power of Love
Time After Time
My Heart Will Go On

* heard in Bennigans on Monday
** included, but not limited to
*** Dave sang along
