Yep, you've guessed it - its the return of ah hem..summer!

What a soggy day Tuesday’s turned out to be, mind you we need the rain so for once I’m actually not complaining. I always tend to think of people on holiday in this weather who’ve decided to go camping. I always get visions of what Glastonbury tends to be like when it pours with rain and it certainly felt like that today listening to your calls and reading your texts! So, to cheer us up Mr Billy Griffin over to you.

We were talking on the show earlier about a bizarre evening I encountered on Monday. It started when I’d got up the gym and was drying myself and getting dressed when I noticed one of the gym members walking out with his slippers on! So it got me thinking about strange habits your other half might have. Ann in Aberdare told us her ex used to chew his toenails!! And Michael told us his other half reads the back of a book before the front. Then, Monday evening got a little more bizarre as I’d gone to my local supermarket to get some bits for a bite to eat. I’d returned to my car and was talking on the phone to Mrs Dave when Mr Random bloke opened the passenger door, got in and sat down!

It was one of those surreal moments where I looked at him and he looked at me before he said very calmly “ooh sorry I’m in the wrong car”! Time was suspended for a second or 2 but it seemed a very long second!

Also on the show we talked about a study that’s out saying women drive blokes crazy when they get behind the wheel. A third of all men quizzed said they don’t feel safe sitting beside them in the passenger seat. The top 10 gripes were;

1. Lack of concentration

2. Braking too late

3. Flicking the accelerator

4. Not avoiding rumble strips

5. Getting too close to other cars

6. Braking too hard

7. Fiddling with the stereo

8. Failure to indicate

9. Going too fast

10. Sticking in the middle lane
