ARE you excited? What do you mean why? You know as well as I do that it is pay week.

Not only that, it is the first pay week of 2003 and even though you might have spent three times your yearly earnings on pointless tat at Christmas you owe it to yourself to go on a big one tonight.

So I'll expect to see you at Ikon - no excuses! And while that money is itching in your palm, don't forget your ticket for the Key 103 Weekender in Prestatyn from March 21 to 23.

Also I have to tell you to get prepared, as we Key 103 kindly types have a treat for you.

We know how much you have sweated, sworn and struggled to get hold of Peter Kay tickets, many of you still not managing it (and, since he lives in Bolton, how unfair is that?)

Well, here we come to save the day! We will be giving away loads of tickets to see your local comedy genius in both Manchester and Bolton, so get listening to the breakfast show if you don't want to miss out.

Chart wise, you favoured Kelly Rowland on Saturday in the Smash Hits Buzz chart. It seems she might be able to give Beyonce a run for her money. But, wait, where's the third Destiny's child gone? Oh well, as Meatloaf once said, two out of three ain't bad.

Keep your ears pinned back for a new single from Christina Aguilera, who miraculously keeps her clothes in the video for this next track, a nice, safe ballad called Beautiful, released in February. Justin Timberlake is also one to watch - new single Cry Me A River could send him soaring to the top of the charts once again: But is that a swipe at Britney we wonder?

Right that's your lot. Now all you need to do it get yourself down to Ikon and make a dint in your wages. You know it makes sense.
