Been around the world

Posted on 4 November, 2011 by Gio in Gio

Hello! Have you missed me? Probably not, really, seeing as I’m on your telly and radio every single day. Well, I’ve just got back from a nice, long round-the-world trip. It was supposed to be one of those soul-searching, ‘finding yourself’ journeys that you go on by yourself, a voyage of discovery, if you will. [...]

Nothing beats a long weekend

Posted on 27 May, 2011 by Gio in Gio

Me and Giuseppe have written several letters to the Prime Minister to try and get him to make it a law that all weekends should be three days long but, unfortunately, until he listens up this will be the last bank holiday weekend until the end of August, so we’d better all make the most [...]

Boyz In Da Hood

Posted on 4 May, 2011 by Gio in Gio

I’ve always identified with the Robin Hood myth. He, quite like me, is a renegade ladies’ man, a misunderstood outlaw vigilante on the side of the common man, and a dab hand with a bow and arrow – not a lot of people know this, but I was consistently in the top five hot shots [...]

Gio Royal Wedding

Posted on 28 April, 2011 by Gio in Gio

It’s the royal wedding! I don’t know about you, but I’m totally psyched. Still, I’m a bit disappointed that I never received an invite. There’s going to be a big street party in my home town, Abergwilli. Doris and the girls from the Women’s Institute have made some of their trademark cakes, and I’ll be [...]

Get ready for Crufts

Posted on 4 March, 2011 by Gio in Gio

All you dog lovers out there, don your flat caps and get ready for Crufts! In anticipation of next week’s festivities at the Birmingham NEC, I’ve prepared my own marking criteria. So if your four legged friend isn’t competing in Crufts this year, why not compare your dog with my marking criteria?! Coat For me, [...]

My top five of rugby facial hair

Posted on 23 February, 2011 by Gio in Gio

I’m thinking of getting a stocks and shares ISA. I expect it will be far safer an investment than my hopes for Italia winning rugby’s Six Nations tournament. I’d like to see them do well, but I’ll also be cheering for Wales of course! Aside from watching the action unfold on the pitch, I enjoy [...]

Totally ‘Vantastic’

Posted on 22 February, 2011 by Gio in Gio

I’ve been on the road these last few weeks visiting the taverns of South Wales on my latest tour, and I’m looking for a trusty new van to carry my speakers. To help me choose the best van I’ve been seeking inspiration from the big and small screen. The Mystery Machine has got to be [...]

Spring is coming, spring is coming

Posted on 15 February, 2011 by Gio in Gio

Oooh Mama mia! With the pizza stove on full burn and the fire blazing it’s getting really hot in here! Winter is slowly turning into spring and there’s cheer in the air. As the heat turns up, we’ll all be turning our thoughts to warmer climes, and I’m even keeping my fingers crossed for some [...]

My top five Valentine’s day tunes

Posted on 10 February, 2011 by Gio in Gio

Don’t you just love February? It’s such a great month to show adoration and affection for those we hold dear. On Valentine’s day this year I will be cooking Mamma Compario’s special spaghetti amore, singing an aria romantica and watching ‘Dear John’ with my nearest and dearest. But perhaps the best Valentine’s present anyone can [...]

My New Year’s resolutions

Posted on 12 January, 2011 by Gio in Gio

We’ve all tried the usual resolutions; like going to the gym, cutting out coffee or giving up our weekly takeaway. But these are all boring and involve stopping doing things you enjoy. That’s why this year I’ve decided to crank up the fun factor and hopefully increase my chances of keeping my resolutions to boot.
