Which Superhero would you most like to be?

This weekend past saw the release of the summer blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises" so we thought we would do a Batman and super hero special on this week's show.  

We will be asking you which superhero you would like to be?  Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Wolverine?

We will also be making up our own Superheroes for the members of the show and need your help coming up with their special powers!

So tune in on Sunday where we will be doing the first half of the show before watching Batman The Dark Knight Rises and reviewing the film during the second half.  We will be very careful to give nothing away!

On the right you will see a picture of Manny Latina (OLE!)
But what super hero would he be and what powers would he have?

Sicilian Man??

Costume: Armani Suit
Special powers: His huge energy comes from constant shots of espresso, he can defeat his enemies with huge and frantic body language and has flawless Italian charm.

How about Zoe?

She is "The Dark Warrior" obviously.

Costume: Black bike leathers and a helmet with death flames on it.

Special powers:  Ability to cut anyone down to size with scathing remarks and can manipulate sounds and destroy her enemies.  Speaks fluent Northern.




And finally, Katie Wick Wock Tick Tock - the stats specialist.

"Stats Woman"

Costume: Skin tight all-in-one cat suit covered with equations

Super Powers: She can confuse even the most intelligent people with numbers and stats, she confuses further with random outbursts and plays the ukulele badly!





And then finally our show host Alan

Alan "Doughnut" Donegan??

Costume: a big doughnut which can stick to anything allowing him to climb up buildings

Special power: can scare off his opponents by his ability to eat huge amounts of food, throws deadly razor pancakes as his weapon and can put anyone to sleep with his inane witterings?

Well as he is writing this post he needs your help!  What would Alan's super Hero alter ego be??

What costume would he wear?  Would it hide his middle age bulges?

What super Powers would he have?  Please comment below and let us know!

Yesterday the Olympic Torch came to Basingstoke.  The flame was burning and it was coming to town.

Basingstoke flooded to festival place and the surrounds to see the flame.  The crowds were huge (for Basingstoke).  You could feel the tension mounting.

Especially as the crowd control tried in vain to control the crowd.  But of course we are from Basingstoke and we don't listen!  There were several crowd surges to better vantage points; where the frustrated and powerless crowd control stewards told us we shouldn't stand.

The people from Basingstoke cared nothing for on coming traffic, nothing about the dangers of standing in a busy road, all they cared about was seeing the Olympic torch in this once in a life time opportunity.

As I watched, I thought to myself it is obvious that these people are excited about the Olympics, but the question that came to mind is "are you excited about the Olympics?"

So we thought we would ask.  Are you excited about the Olympics?  Do you have tickets?  Are you moist with anticipation?  Click on the poll on the right and let us know how excited you are about the Olympics.
