It's Feelgood Friday with Alex and there is more from Morten Harket's Gap in the Market and Wrong End of the Diction Stick, and a playlist perfect for kickstarting the weekend.

It's Feelgood Friday so expect even more random daftness and inspired stupidity from the Dark Lord. The suggestions for Morten Harket's Gap in the Market continue, so much so Alex has compiled a Top 5 of the funniest suggestions. Will Michael Winner's Microwave Dinner's debut in pole position, or will Paolo Nutini's See-Through Bikinis pip it to the post? There is only one way to find out...
The Wrong End of the Diction Stick is still on the rampage, with one unfortunate victim asking a waiter in a restaurant if she could have extra poo's. Meaning peas. Find out how she punished her husband for laughing hysterically at her mishap. So, when do these incidents stop being funny, and start being the cause of venomous revenge? A new thread, From Affable to Axe Murderer, is born courtesy of Fred Slippage.
Alex selects tracks from Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash from Lester's Library, and there is a vintage Fleetwood Mac track from the Listener's Library. A final track from our Album of the Week from Sade and another play of Record of the Week from Robbie Williams, plus Pause For Thought at 3.20am.
