Ok, let's get one thing straight. This 'Katy 4 Glyn' business you see above you is a work of fiction and delusion in the mind of Avril Lavigne obsessive and internet radio DJ, David and should not be taken seriously. I have not and never have had a thing for Glyn from last summer's Big Brother - quite the opposite in fact. So please, lets all move along now, there's nothing to see here...lets ignore the fact that David has concocted this little world in his head where I lust after teenage boys with thin heads who don't know how to look after themselves or boil an egg, let's wipe this from our brains and pretend it never happened! And if anyone is interested, being able to turn on a washing machine and make toast without calling your mother for advice is very high up on my list of preferences in a human. If this applies to you and you are available, phone numbers to the usual address please.

For those of you not already in the know, which is probably most of you - the extremely lovely Paul and David do a radio show on UK Nova Radio (Tuesdays 7-9), it is a hilarious mix of genre-spanning tunes and chat with the occasional bit of live music in the form of David on guitar and Paul on vocals and laughter thrown in for good measure. A few days ago David asked me which song I would like dedicated to me this week which is cool and very sweet. Usually they are happy to play anything but this week I couldn't think of anything so I suggested that David play something he thought suitable for me based on what he knows about me and lo and behold last night I was very honoured to be the first record played! Very honoured that is until the opening bars of Whitesnake's 'Here I Go Again' kicks in. Now don't get me wrong - I love 80's rock as much as the next woman, heck - I was even in a band once that got reviewed as an 80's throwback band which went down very well at the time but this particular track is about someone who spends their life alone, walking alone in fact down a road they've always known...let's check out those lyrics for ourselves...

'And here I go again on my own,
Goin down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone...'

Excellent, thanks David - based on what you know about me you think that this sad tale just about sums it up! It's the vote of confidence a permantly single girl needs. Oh and what's this? You have just told everyone live on air that I love Glyn off Big Brother too? Embassador, with this musical dedication you are really spoiling me! Tune in to Paul and David's show next week when David will dedicate 'Who Let The Dogs Out' to me and tell everyone about the time I accidentily exposed myself to my swimming teacher.

*Fact fans may like to know that in the 1987 version of this track, this word was changed to 'drifter' for fear of anyone thinking Whitesnake singer, David Coverdale was singing 'homo'. Honestly...
