It's made for us isn't it so we literally were playing Taylor Swift there and I got one on to like celebrity birthdays dot com to find out who shares the best there were no. While Taylor Swift was actually playing on B.B.C. Radio Manchester it's like the radio gods were just looking down upon him I know I know a lot had a couple of the names that I knew of and I didn't realize that the biggest of the lot was just being played that I'm going to I'm going to be throwing the around all the time now I'm not mentally you know we're we're twins. Yeah exactly maybe able to do that maybe once a week there was something else. And I was that Michael Owen as well but can't seem on the list so I'm going to double check that one alone when's your birthday it's 13 to December 30th December so maybe it is a day or 2 off but I always thought he was on the 13th Michael Owen's Wikipedia page or the. Vandyke 13th December 13th he's the day after day after the 14th OK OK OK I have. An Evil Knievel evil. Story Phil Mickelson the American Yeah and Eminem the rapper Every them brilliant so may fail Eminem and we just take the earth the ashes of the Evil Knievel we'll head out for a pint. On the night of our birthday Sometimes the night before sometimes and after depending if we can get our schedule sort of to mix together. Be rested Taylor Swift on the what we said 30 December they will be sending her a card came from Boots to understand the text I share my birthday with Henry the 8th King Henry. Get these in one simple 3 Start your message with Mike 0802 and it double to 5 how we ended up in this round robin hole I don't know the world the sport is exceptionally busy as we speak isn't it is yes yes. This morning kind of we've had the England ashes 1st Test squad announcement for the 1st test this week against Australia best underscores the Don't talk to me but I'm going cricket going talk to me I was cocky for a day and a half. Probably shouldn't really mention that maybe I'll invite 143 runs Yes that is the number all over the and then there are 11. Crikey thout for $38.00 so that's the 7th lowest in Test history the lowest in. Your Hand So looking ahead to this 1st Test Scores of the scores been announced Ben Stokes is reinstate this vice captain after that phenomenal World Cup for England 1st time as vice captain since 2017 over the after the the incident at the Bristol night club and captain I would expect James and this in in this quarter with sort of the problems in having them over the last few weeks so he's in jail for sure also into another names as you'd expect and that's you Chris Woakes just Butler back in Stuart Broad playing to look like a strong squad to take on Australia for the 1st Ashes Test at its best and so I think we were in for a really good match works and brought on form at the moment as we saw taking wickets yesterday this looks like it could be a really good much good to see Lancashire couple in there as well you're going to be well represented DO YOU ARE THEY are the favorites north of England Australia I think in test terms it's difficult to call because the one day squad of England is as we've seen incredibly good and incredibly talented but I'm really convinced in this 4 day test with Island and I think that there are a few question marks over the opening batting partnership we don't know who that will be quite just yet at the moment anyhow but we've got burns in the squad and deadly in the squad so it could be those 2 opening up refereeing and so it remains to be seen how well they start I think that will be the key and the pictures as well will be really important to say how the bowlers get on on the pitch is really important to excellent and what else is football. What else is making the sporting headlines. To transfer news to tell you about Danny Alvarez could be set for a reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City so he left. His club this week. That was muted 2 seasons ago before he went to P.S.G. Exactly right yes it could come around at the moment and City of a sort of looking to shore up that back line if you like that could be leaving. No sign of where he might be going just yet Vince a company has just left and they will be so to short of an extra defender a strong defender in place 942 years of age. He sort of getting on a bit I think 36 years old now Dani Alves and I think you'd be a great addition to city school because he's experienced he's still got the legs of Him God has a big fan of his could do wonders for them in terms of helping some of the younger players could be a new name we see in the city schools are all that nonsense I just want to see a city center in his lab again dressed in the clothes that he's normally dressed and Media City just make a very flamboyant make it easy for boys like me and you would be great to see that when it would be I think characters and what have you in the West would be really cool to see but I think the. City would be a great addition to the squad because of the experience and just the he's a big name player coming to the Premier League has announced very quickly before we go to tropical trouble we've also got us some big games in rugby league to St Helens against how the facts is the later game in the Challenge Cup semifinals Warrington against Hull as the 2 o'clock game how the facts of the 1st 2nd decided to appear in the semifinal since 2006 so it should be any good encounter at the University of stadium lights on are things going to fork over.

Absolute true story from the woman who shares a birthday with Wonder Woman from earlier on this week I bring you the news now across the B.B.C. With an oppressed and good aften a Boris Johnson has revived the idea of the Northern powerhouse promising to unlock jobs and prosperity say by building a high speed rail line between Manchester and Leeds and he Prime Minister said in a speech at the medium of Science and Industry in the city this morning the investment would offer a colossal return and allow areas that voted for Braggs it to take back control it's the right thing to do and it's time we got this whole thing moving it's time we put some real substance into the idea of Northern powerhouse rail that's why we're here this morning and we want to inject some place into this so that we can unlock jobs and boost growth but I know that people can't wait and they want to see change fast they want change now takes a while to build a railway believe me they want reliable everyday services was speaking to radio mount Chester early yet Greater Manchester Mandy Burnham says he's cautiously welcoming the knees but we were promised this by the former chancellor George Osborne 5 years ago nothing happened was happened in those 5 years all rail services are gone backwards so I think people are writes a B. To be a little cynical book you know let's take it on face value I'll be watching very very closely to see if there's proper follow up immediately because that's what they'll need to show you know that promise to make the announcement and then there's real movement where President Trump has said that he and Mr Johnson are already working on what he described as a substantial brags that trade agreements Mr Trump said trade between the 2 countries could be worth up to 5 times more than it is now open as a goal chorus. Tom Barton says the leaders are hoping their personal relationship will help to conclude a deal the 2 men are clearly keen to put together a strong personal relationship with her daughter Trump referring to Boris Johnson as Britain Trump and yet these trade negotiations can take years and they are very often much more about the technical details than they are about how wealth the 2 leaders get along riot police in Hong Kong fired tear gas at protesters who defied a ban to March through an area where pro-democracy activists were beaten up by underworld gangs the demonstrations of a keys police collusion which the force deny.
