Toast Game

There is HUGE demand to publish the incorrect answers people have already guessed on the daily Toast Game. So here they are. This will mean nothing to you if you don't listen between 7.30 and 8 each morning. And if you don't, why not? I hope you've brought a note to explain your absense.

The Ainsley Harriott edition

  The answer was 'Athletes'

Tell me some stuff about Simeon Armstrong Courtie!

He was a mechanical engineer before becoming a radio DJ. By the age of 22 he had his own daily show on BBC Radio Northampton and was banging on the spangly door labelled 'TV'. A couple of years later he was fronting BBC 2's pop show The O-Zone, which led to his job entertaining millions of BBC 1 viewers every afternoon as the 'broom cupboard' host of Children's BBC with his sidekick Otis the Aardvark.

After jumping to ITV in the late nineties to front several more children's series, he joined BFBS TV to present Room 785 for the children of service families all over the world.

Sim has presented a number of shows for BFBS Radio, all of them called 'Sim'. Well, it keeps it simple. He presented the Breakfast Show during our trial on DAB Digital Radio in 2008 and decided he enjoyed getting up at 4am so much that he'd do it again when we went 'permanent' in April 2009. So, here he is, bleary of eye but bushy of tail.

The rest of his time is spent hawking his comedy writing wares around various radio and TV shows, the most famous of which is Have I Got News For You, where his gags have come out of the mouths of Jack Dee, Jerry Springer, David Mitchell and Jeremy Clarkson to name a few.

Not that he'll get big-headed. His 3 daughters aged 12, 10 & 8 are quick to deflate him with a withering look and tell him he's not funny.
