I was sitting in my office in the USA on Wednesday afternoon and I get pinged by Dian who was at home in the Netherlands. She wanted to make sure that I knew that Robbie was on Radio Wales right at that moment. The whole thing was being broadcast online. That was news I had to share, so I pinged Tabby, who was in her kitchen in Canada. The three of us then fired up Skype and conferenced with each other while waiting for Robbie to come on. The radio station then announced a contest to win a CD. The next thing I know, I'm Skyping the radio station, [www.skype.com] and before I fully realized what was happening, I was speaking to someone in Wales. "Is this the radio station?" I ask. "Yes," a woman said, to which I reply, "I'm calling from the United States," adding, "a friend in Holland told me about the show, and we told another friend in Canada about it, and the answer to the quiz is 'Peter'," I gushed. [The quiz question was "What is Robbie Williams' middle name?] The woman asked me my name and my telephone number, said thank you and hung up. The next thing I know I hear someonhe on Radio Wales say that the station has received calls from as far away as the United States. Dian, Tabby and I were screaming and laughing so hard, none of us ever heard them read the email from Felix; or find out that an autographed copy of Feel was won by Mandy. Quite a banner day for Lyrical on Radio Wales, on Wednesday, September 29, 2004.
