breakfast is back!

The Breakfast Show // 11.01.10 // Mel & Nicki B: Breakfast Is Back!

Breakfast Is Back with avengance and Nicki B, Mel and our Breakfast Ninja supreme-o Heather are raring to go. Well...that was our intention anyway!

We decided that since our music is so darn good, our patter is banter-ific and our general dulcet tones so delicate to the ears that we just have to set about reminiscing about good ol' 2009, with some of our best of the best of the very best of our playlist to boot!

So swig that tea, crunch that toast, and enjoy our chats about our very eventful very first show, the "Strip The Willow Incident", Guess The Year - ahem, 2009 (!!) and our brown and tomato sauce debates while we play you our favourite tunes from last year's features and then some. ¡Hasta la vista 2009!

mel and nicki b & not a breakfast ninja in sig

The Breakfast Show // 07.12.09

The Breakfast Ninjas have jumped ship (ie, snuggled up in bed!) and left Mel and Nicki B with the ultimate dilemma...who will get the sausages? Will there be time to bargain for a tattie scone or two? And what about the sauce? Grab and run with the tomato or gamble with the brown? All will be revealed as Mel and Nicki B rise to the challenge of multi-tasking this week!

As Jack Frost nips and the wind blasts, turn over in bed, pull the duvet tighter and relax with our favourite features and cheese-tastic tunes. It's banter for breakfast, served of course (we hope!) with the usual carnage and a tattie scone to boot!

what's in mel and nicki b's stocking?! ohh err!

The Breakfast Show // 14.12.09 // What's in Mel and Nicki B's stockings?! Ohh err!

We've gone all Christmas crazy here on the Breakfast Show with Mel and Nicki B. We have presents galore all wrapped up in the form of warm, fuzzy, snuggly songs to make you smile and ho ho ho 'til your heart's content.

Mel and Nicki B will bring you the very best of Christmas cheese, as well as our features and a Special Christmas Woo Song or ten from Nicki! So plonk your Santa hat firmly upon head, grab an elf and have a very merry sing-song for the next two hours...

Posted at 20:01, 13th December 2009

it cannot be so!!

The Breakfast Show // 30.11.09

So the last week of classes is upon us, a truly disgusting realisation! Mel and Nicki are here with their head ninja, Heather, and some cheese to take the pain away...

Posted at 16:37, 1st December 2009

guess who's back, back again...

The Breakfast Show // 23.11.09

Mel and Nicki B shall be presiding over the breakfast show for the full 2 hours once again.Yet another fun-filled show with banter, frolics and ninjas a-plenty.The regular features are still going strong despite the quality of the quiz rapidly decreasing, it is definitely getting easier, whatever they may say!Despite this, you can bet that Callum and Heather will proclaim their genius and demand a banana should they be victorious!

Today sees the introduction of a brand spanking new feature.it involves dancing and is rather exciting.we are hoping it will get us what we want!if you don't know what it is yet then you clearly haven't been listening!very disappointing indeed!

beakfast ninja mutiny?

The Breakfast Show // 16.11.09

Mel and Nicki B are here once again to bring back the cheese on a Monday morning.80s vs 90s, guess the year, world music and the magnificent sensation that is the woo factor are here to get you out of bed with a wee grin on your face and a craving for sausage rolls with both tomato and brown sauce. This week an intriguing subplot has emerged...what exactly is the intention of the narcotic ninjas of the breakfast variety??They have been treated with kindness and love, but are the breakfast ninjas embroiled in an evil plot involving tea and sausage rolls?That remains to be seen, but it is certainly a necessity to watch this space...hopefully on our brand spanking new webcam...

mel & nicki b: brown or tomato ketchup nicki?

The Breakfast Show // 09.11.09 // Mel & Nicki B: Brown or Tomato Ketchup Nicki?

Good morning to all our dedicated listeners and to all those Monday morning first-timers...where on earth have you been?!?!

Mel and Nicki B have brought the Breakfast Show to new heights and have some lovely, brand-spanking and shiny new producers to boot! Either we're doing something right or we're being reigned in...tis Monday morning carnage at its best with our usual spectacular features: Guess The Year, 80s vs. 90s with an alternative twist, and Nicki's Quiz to pit Callum and Heather, and occasionally Callum's dad from afar, against one another. It remains to be seen whether Mel will remember to adorn Callum's dad with the prized banana and whether Nicki will allow this to happen...

...evidently both will be embroiled in the Brown vs. Tomato Sauce debate while churning out some majorly good tunes in between!

Posted at 21:26, 8th November 2009

it's international cape and cloak day!

The Breakfast Show // 03.11.09 // International Cape and Cloak Day

Too many Stuarts spoil the broth. It's International Cape and Cloak Day so we celebrate it, big time.

An obscene amount of Hummus plays a minimal role in the celebrations.

team breakfast!

The Breakfast Show // 02.11.09 // Mel & Nicki B: team breakfast!

Tea related carnage, banter and yet more pleas for a webcam.Mel and Nicki B will be here with all of their regular features and hopefully some other breakfast teamers.Can they beat Callum's dad in the most mammoth of quizzes?Will Mr McKay accept his banana for the sensational prize that it truely is?Will we be organised enough not to have to resort to guess the year 2009 once again?So many questions!A cheeky wee listen might just uncover some of those answers

stuart and butler: the great versus verses... irel

The Breakfast Show // 15.10.09 // Stuart and Butler: The Great Verses Versus... Irel

Tensions are high. Reputations are at stake. A friendship is on the rocks...

That's right. This week's grand Verses Versus brought about the great debate of who is a more musically triumphant country... Ireland. Or Wales.

Stuart and Butler rattle it out, whilst playing some excellent tunes to get you going on a Thursday morning (or whenever your itchy Listen Again fingers occur) and we need YOUR votes at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=32193622614&ref=ts so we know who to shame in the next SB edition of the BS. Also. Rick Astley is HOT.

(we're all shoulder to shoulder really... (but more the Irish...))

mel & nicki b: they're grrrrreat!!!

The Breakfast Show // 12.10.09 // Mel & Nicki B: They're GRRRReat!

Monday mayhem is upon us once more...so cower under your duvet as Mel and Nicki B unleash the wrath of the, erm, cheese?!

We're well underway now with our kooky features, some might say. Get your pens at the ready to answer to Nicki's mammoth (and it does NOT get easier as the weeks go by, regardless of what she says!) Quiz, while Mel dusts out the cobwebs in your brain as you step back in time and in your bellbottoms to Guess The Year.

We also have the sublime Woo Factor and 80s vs 90s to get your British Hips clacking away in effortless non-rhythm...

...So wake up, grab that air guitar (or your cereal spoon if closer) and enjoy our dulcet tones in between the best of our rather questionable music taste!

mel and nicki b: the w factor

The Breakfast Show // 05.10.09 // Mel and Nicki B: The W Factor

The lines are closed, the votes are in, the judges have decided...

Indeed! Welcome to Mel and Nicki B's wondrous Breakfast Show, where we will be unleashing THE W FACTOR!!! Oh yes, not content with Simon Cowell dominating the world (at least until Christmas!), Mel and Nicki B have decided to unveil their latest feature with avengance...

THE W FACTOR!!!

We will be undermining The Cowell's talent by presenting to you, our dear listeners, the best of "Woo-ness" in our cheesy classics. For want of a better explanation, Mel and Nicki B will be trawling our CD collection for those epic power ballads and the ones in between that got away, all to bring you (or rather, scathingly attack!) all those singers who can't think of anything else to warble and slot in a "wooooo", "oooooh", "whoaaaaa", yip, you get the picture!

So jump out of bed and into our morning madness as we bring our funky feature, The W Factor to life, with of course, our buzz-cut immaculate and our trousers propping up our pecs Cowell-style!

Seamless. adj. 1) smooth and without seams or obvious joints. 2) perfectly consistent.

EQUALS...

...A quality Breakfast Show filled with funky features and pop-tastic treats to tantalise your tastebuds in the morning, where Mel and Nicki B will deliver the songs that they say they are going to play instead of the songs they DO play. Will we ever get it just right?

SEAMLESS...say it with us!!

Yes indeedy, The Good Samaritans Of Cheese-ness will be applying this new SEAMLESSNESS to the show, where everything will be in order, everything will be slick and efficient, and Mel and Nicki B will finally pull off being the bumbling, air-guitar playing nutters they really are. We will attempt our fab features once again and showcase our good taste in all that rocks our cotton socks in the 80s, 90s and beyond!

So come one, come all...and please...put us out of our misery...TELL US HOW HIGH THE UNIVERSITY TOWER REALLY IS!!

The Breakfast Show // 21.09.09 // Mel and Nicki B: Crunchy Nutters!

Join us in our quest to find out once and for all just how high the University Tower really is! As always, we aim to wake up the world in true cheesy pop and golden oldies fashion. This week, we unleash our new features, namely our General Ignorance Quiz, Guess The Year and 80s vs. 90s, where, OH YES, Mel and Nicki B will be pitted against one another - who will reign supreme and who will forget the playlist yet again? Don't miss the madness in the morning!

Expect more references to the wonders of Wikipedia, more chat about songs from across the ages, and a complete breakdown of Freshers Week from people experiencing it for the fourth year.

So break out the weetabix, fry up the bacon and eggs, pour a glass of OJ, and kick back, and blend yourself into the second day of Freshers Week as George and Nikki remind everyone just what breakfast time radio used to be like, as they Bring Breakfast Back.

The Breakfast Show // 17.03.09 // George & Nikki: Cake!!!

As Nikki and George leave the FM airwaves with one final breakfast show outing, they will be trying to comfort those lonely rush hour drivers who will soon only be able to get Subcity radio back on their broadband computers.

However to try and make up for this we will bringing you the best guide around to just how you can still access to broadband based radio from a moving car short of a very extensive cabeling system dragging behind you down the M74.

This is a very ruff translation of the Oro, Jaske Beana lyrics (it will be completed by the days close)

Shut up dog ! Shut up dog!

There was a dog called Camilla She ate dill with herring and tortillas. Camilla was a fat dog, you couldn't say she was healthy. Camilla had to eat.......and lots of pizza

Shut up dog!

(Something about Camilla nearly dying because she got trapped in a door and that she had a sweet tooth and ate loads of ice cream)

Shut up dog!

(the breakdown part)

But in the end, Camilla had to say goodbye. She had high blood pressure because she was soo very fat. Grandmother cried....... Grandmother screamed....

Yeah then it was quiet Yeah then it was quiet

The Breakfast Show // 13.01.09 // George & Nikki: New Year, New Leaf

Yes, taht's right ladies and gents. George and Nikki return to their Tuesday morning slot once more. So it's time to set the alarm for ten to eight and get up intime to switch onto the breakfast show.

Having spent the last four weeks holding onto as many pointless anecdotes as possible, they finally return to the studio to unleash two hours of irelevant chat intermixed with a polite relief of incredibly good music. So see you tomorrow morning people...

...well actually by the natural format of radio, we won't actually see you, but you catch my drift... figure of speech and all that...

join along with the breakfast show

The Breakfast Show // 09.12.08 // George & Nikki: Arts & crafts in the Subci

Yes, this week the Tuesday Breakfast Show returns with a fairly new and exciting look, or, as it is radio... sound.

Things have changed a great deal since the days when two half-competent presenters prattled on for two hours straight whilst waiting for something interesting to be said or done, yes, things have changed completely... although not that completely, the same presenters are still there... and the prattling is still there... but it has changed a bit.

Because now you can join George and Nikki, and participate along with the Breakfast show. The breakfast show is pioneering a sense of creativity and community, so get ready for an exciting show this Tuesday when we will be delivering an all new experimentational idea to radio - model making.

Yes, we want you, to join in with the Breakfast Show as we attempt to make numerous models out of milk bottles. George will be attempting to make eight delightful models all taken from this disturbingly exciting blog he found when he should've been writing an essay: http://graspideas.blogspot.com/2008/12/advent-ure-calendar-day-1.html

Go check it out, and grab your milk bottle and scissors at the ready, for tomorrow he embarks on a journey to make all eight of the models in the space of two hours before taking a photo of each one and uploading it onto the thread for this very episode as well as the new and exciting Facebook group. And you too can join in, by sending in your models as you make them during the show.

So wake up early, knock on the flatmates' doors, break out the pancakes and cereal, let the milk flow, and when the bottles are empty make sure you all tune in to Subcity Radio and join in with our new community. Join us every Tuesday for more of the same, and don't forget to join the new and exciting Facebook group:

an accompaniment to your cereal

The Breakfast Show // 27.10.08 // George & Nikki Present: Weetabix

The Breakfast Show begins, and will rocket its way to your ears this coming Monday. So now there is no need to sit down to your breakfast with no background noise other than the scraping of the spoon against the bowl, or the sound of the bacon burning in the pan.

Now you can join George and Nikki from Subcity's Pop Goes The Revolution introducing you to the day as the early morning freedom/lurgy takes things to the extremes. It turns out George is even more cynical at 8am in the morning, and Nikki suddenly breaks out her 90's pop collection: circa Hanson.

So join us this Monday as the Breakfast show begins with an in-depth Weetabix discussion.

8am-10am This Monday. Be there... or alternatively, if you wish, have a lie in.
