People Who Make Requests on Radio

So I'm rocking into work this crisp fresh Friday, minding my own business, listening to the radio with only one earphone working which in itself is an annoyance. I hop off the dart with the rest of the rats, get in line for the feeder bus that brings me to the office, (not always taken but this particular week roadworks are preventing me from taking the nice brisk walk as a shortcut).

The radio is blaring Q102 on the bus so I figure well what's the point in trying to listen to my choice of radio station considering it's only going in one ear anyway...

Q102 is all very nice and everything. Pleasant music played at the best of times so I really didn't mind, until a listener comes on and proceeds to tell us that she would like to request a song for her soon to be husband, & tells us that this song will be there wedding song although her husband doesn't know it yet. With that she asks for Tom Baxter's "Better" and To which my reply was "Oh Jaysus"

A few random people beside me may have heard me and I don't know if people thought I said it because of the fact that it was going to be their wedding song or because it was Tom Baxter....the answer is both really.

He really is up there with the likes of James Blunt/ Norah Jones/ Katie Melua/ Jack Johnson / I'd rather stick a pin in my eye that hear one note of any of these artists.

Please people please pick better wedding songs....
