We've made it. We've reached the end of our marathon broadcast with our station stalwarts Goodlass and Marshall bringing it all to a close and gathering us all into the studio to say goodbye.
We were treated to this highlights package proving what a fantastic team had contributed to the day of broadcasting that has been building up over the last few months.
Some of my personal highlights for me that weren't included in that selection were around 4-5am when we got an unexpected appearance from Mattie who had presented earlier that evening and took over the slot that was meant to be filled with a chill out show where instead we got a selection of mainly rock anthems as eclectic as
Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy", "Get It On" by T-Rex and even the
uncensored version of "Sexy MF" by Prince.
We were also joined up in the radio rooms by Undercroft manager
Jim "Partytime" Chapman who spent most of the time playing a few tunes on a guitar that was lurking around the studios. Overall it was a really good atmosphere throughout and I'm hoping that we'll be doing the same in 2009.
However there's May week to be thinking about as well pretty soon where we'll be saying goodbye to a few long standing station members such as said duo Goodlass and Marshall,
Steve Jones and Tudor.
That's due to take place the week beginning on the 12th of May when the dissertations will be handed in and is the same week as my birthday so hopefully I'll be able to do my show on that day!
Well also because Friday is the day we'll be having the awards and I wouldn't want to pre-record my final show of the year.
I doubt I'll be getting much rest for now however as I may be meeting up with a few of the station members later this afternoon to see the England V Ireland game in the Six Nations at the Kenton Wetherspoons.
