Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

It's Monday freezing cold 29th of February.

You will not get another 29th of February for another four years.

So if you're celebrating a birthday today, many happy returns of the day.

If you read the mirror, and it is your birthday today, then you can get a free bottle of

Prosecco. It's worth about 12 pounds. That's nice. You have to cut out the voucher and you have to take proof along with you.

But it's a bit of a boat. I wonder how many people would take up that offer from majestic wines.

So you get your free bottle of Prosecco so you can celebrate your birthday and many happy returns of the day because if you're a leap year baby that makes you very

very special doesn't it a very very special person indeed if you're a little person

mummy and daddy can go i wonder if you have to be oh you've got to be over a certain age haven't

you really they can't give it to a child so you've got to be over 18. I don't know. I don't know, ladies. So what were they all talking about yesterday? They were all talking about last night. The Oscars, they were talking about the fact that they were all there wearing their lovely outfits. Some revealing, some not so revealing. Some people just can't wear glamorous dresses. You've got to be really a model to wear proper glamorous dresses. So Jennifer

Lawrence, Brie Larson, who did very well, Kate Blanchett and Charlie Stheron took the plunge.

And this is the 88th Annual Academy Award. And they picked out some nice outfits. Jennifer

Lawrence, Brie Larson and Kate Blanchett, all looking very glamorous. Some people the colours didn't go well.

Charlie's theorem had a very slinky red gown. There's a lot of it, they have to sort of drape it behind them, and they just sort of put it on, and it looks lovely.

A lot of them should have showing a lot of bosom, because that's the whole idea, isn't it? You have to show a lot of bosom.

And so Jennifer Lawrence, that was quite a nice sort of dress.

And an equally nice one was Bree Larsson, very pretty, but all long trains, so they can only walk on the red carpet.

Because if you go on the road, you're going to be dragging this thing through all the mud, aren't you? And presumably it's got to go back where it came from after you finish. So once it's been photographed by

the world's press, everybody gets very excited and they all go, yeah, they looked absolutely

gorgeous, but can we have it back now? So there'll be an army of people waiting in the wings
