@ 10 Cake - We Can Eat!
1 Scots Catering Dept know how to get to the top of the 10 @ 10
waiting list. They made a cake to look like a record player, iced
their top 10 records on it and then left it with us to eat at
our leisure – now that seems like a fair swap.

| How about
your own Top 10 @ 10?
Just email your selection to: bfbsme@bfbs.com
(Subject: 10@ 10) Mail it to us: BFBS Radio, COB, BFPO 641 or
you could drop your "Alternative" 10@10
into us and jump the queue!
You choose 10 songs. 10 songs that perhaps
you haven't heard in such a long time or perhaps will always remind
you of this tour or remind you of something else. Whatever your
reason(s) - you choose the music.
You'll hear your 10@10, Just after 10.00am (Iraq time) Mon to
Fri. Also, tell us why you've chosen each song and the story behind
it. It doesn't have to be written or delivered on anything fancy
- but if it is... it could jump
the queue see above! |
