Please name that tune

How is it that whenever you hear a song you like on the radio the DJ doesn’t say what it is?

DJs have an annoying habit of forgetting to announce the song they have just played, or the tunes they are about to play.

It is very irritating as the song sticks in your head and you are unable to buy it because you don’t know what it is called.

I have heard people hymning tunes to shop staff, in an attempt to identify them. Although I have to admit I have never done that.

I suppose now we have iTunes we can type in what we think the song is called, to see if we can find it.

Another criticism of DJs is that they talk too much and they only play songs as an afterthought. I won’t mention any names.

But you can tell the presenters who love the music and style the tunes they play around their show.

And, how is it when you listen to the radio in the car, you can wait ages for a good song to come on the radio and it is only when you have reached your destination that the DJ finally plays one.

Meanwhile, Trevor Immleman proved to be a worthy winner of The Masters, even if you had to stay up till 12.30am to watch him clinch the title. I was a bit disappointed that Tiger was not able to put up more of a challenge.

Rickaaay!!!

RICKY and Bianca have returned to Albert Square, but they haven’t come back to many familiar faces.

On their return Patsy Palmer, who plays Bianca, was turfed out of a B&B with her children because she didn’t pay and Ricky was seen at the funeral of his father Frank Butcher.

I think the only characters who were in the programme when they left were Pat, Ian, Peggy, Phil and Dot. Although I might be wrong.

The producers of the soap must have brought R+B back to liven up a programme which has long failed to repeat its glory days of the 1980s and 1990s.

The return of Ricky and Bianca seems to have had a positive effect on the soap’s viewing figures. A total of 10.1 million viewers watched their return on Tuesday, April 1. The show normally has eight or nine million viewers for that night.

I stopped watching EastEnders years ago because I got fed up with weak storylines and poor characters. But the return of these two may make me tune back in.

Who can forget Bianca screaming “Rickaaay” everytime Ricky had done something wrong.

Their return has certainly been well publicised. They have been on the front of almost all of the TV magazines, and the BBC have been using Ricky and Bianca on all their adverts for the show.

Ricky and Bianca aren’t together now, and Bianca’s new man is in jail, and she has four kids.

Will Ricky and Bianca get back together?

Who will master Augusta this year?

THE Masters, which will start this Thursday, will be watched by million of people in this country on television.

It is one of the few golf tournaments to attract viewers who normally don’t watch the sport.

In England it may be a cold and wet April, but you can almost guarantee Augusta will be bathed in glorious sunshine.

The course always looks immaculate on television, and you can tell the greenkeepers have been working from dawn to dusk to make sure the 18 holes are ready for the event, which is held there every year in the second week in August.

It seems the staff have been working magic, because of the manicured fairways.

Although to catch the closing stages of The Masters you have to stay up into the early hours.

My early memories of watching the tournament were of Nick Faldo winning the event in 1990 and Ian Woosnam picking up a green jacket in 1991.

Another year to stick in my memory was 1996 when Nick Faldo grabbed the lead from Greg Norman and Faldo then went on to win his third title.

It was painful to watch Norman capitulate under the pressure placed on him by Faldo, but also captivating at the same time.

Woods, as always, will start as the favourite. Only someone on the very top of his game will be able to catch him. It would be good to see a golfer from this side of the Atlantic do well and repeat the feats of the European golfers of the 1980s and 1990s.
