Let's Have A Wriggle

This is the most viewed picture EVER for Milton Keynes on both Google Maps and Google Reviews.

David posted it after the OurRebekah frog challenge at Wrigglies Exotic Pets on Saturday 30th September 2017. It shows Mayor David Hopkins with a python round  his neck and intertwining itself in his chain of office.

Anyone who has ever been to this amazing little shop  will tell you they come away inspired and uplifted. There is something about Wriglies Exotic Pets that makes you Wriggle.

Yesterday Josh and David went to the shop to say HI to manager Ro and chat about Radio Love International supporting events they will be holding during the course of he year.

Let's have our morning theme.


And now for Thought4Today.


That thought rather sums up shop manager Ro.  David will tell you that he will visit Wrigglies Exotic pets just to come away inspired by manager Ro. Yesterday was no exception save
for the fact that Josh, who had been to the shop in the past but did not know Ro, was swamped by the magic and could not stop wriggling.

That is Ro on the right with giant tortoise Mikey. We looked at tortoises yesterday wondering if one in its own self-contained habitat would make a gift for Ronald McDonald House.

Josh liked the turtles and was busy filming them with his phone. There is a slight technical problem with setting up the Radio Love International e-mail system so right now we can not bring you the video he shot.

The picture on the left shows Mayor David checking out the turtles.

Let's play some music, Ro has asked that we play animal music. OK, yeh, well here's a butterfly.


Animals at Wrigglies live in their own self-contained environment. Ro is passionate about their welfare and care. Each animal lives in a vivarium specifically designed to its needs.  The weather does not trouble them as it does we human beings. Let's take Andy's weather report then wriggle to some more music.


Wrigglies does sell crocodiles, camen at least, but does not extend to wolves !  This is a beautiful piece of music.


While Josh was busy filming the turtles David and Ro were chatting about Radio Love International. David bounced an idea about having a SUNSHINE SMILE DAY. Ro said it would be better if EVERY day were a sunshine smile day.

In this picture who has the biggest smile ? David or the Giant African Toad ?

We could not find any music about toads but we all know this fun song about frogs don't we.

Let's play it and make Thursday a sunshine smile day.




After hitting a record audience figure earlier in the week things have been slipping a bit. Well never mind, those little speckled frogs will be listening today !

We had a message of support yesterday which we would like to share with you. It came from Director of Communications Trevor at Sheffield Wednesday FC hooking us up with the community programme at Hillsborough. It was a 0 0 draw in the last game, perhaps the boys need to WRIGGLE bit more.


David filmed that at Hillsborough before Christmas. Radio Love International looks forward to doing something with Sheffield Wednesday's community programme.

Patrick from Dockyard Discs in Plymouth posted this picture on Facebook yesterday evening.

Patrick, what animal music do you have in your Aladdin's Cave ?

Do you by any chance have BEN by Michael Jackson ?

It is a beautiful piece of music ?

What has it got to do with animals we can hear some of you saying.

BEN was the young Michael Jackson's pet rat.


Wrigglies Exotic Pets does not actually sell rats but Ro, himself, keeps a pet SKUNK !  Only Ro could do that he he...................

Here is Mayoress Susan with Ro's skunk.

Nobody told her that it had not had its scent glands removed !

Well  you've  got  to have a laugh haven't you ?

We'll play some more music in a moment but first can we tell you about something David has added to our website.

On yesterday's music page we talked about the way Radio Love International is developing towards becoming an on-line radio station. We are looking at the licencing options. We need a full radio licence to do what we want but we can only have a small radio licence until our income reaches £5,000. At the moment everything is coming out of our own pockets, to run the station we need income. We are not yet ready to seek out sponsors and until we start broadcasting we can not sell advertising. So David has set up a SHOPPING MALL.


CLICK HERE to check it out. If a listener clicks a banner then makes a purchase Radio Love International will receive a commission. So if there is anything there that tickles your fancy - well off you go....................

Enough of that. Time for more music.


No, Wrigglies does not sell dogs but it IS doggie friendly.  David's best friend is Jake. Jake moved in with David and Maureen four years ago. He was a lost and lonely little boy in a rescue centre. Now he is a happy and central part of the family.  David and Jake made this video.


That was lovely wasn't it ?

Are you a dog lover ?  We played that for you and your best friend.

This amazing creature made a visit to Wrigglies Exotic Pets before Christmas.

What bird music can we play for her and her owl feathered friend in the pic on the right ?

How about Fleetwood Mac and Albatross.


Or perhaps this played here on Radio Love International's traditional vinyl.

Thanks Ro for a fun visit yesterday.

That now brings our daily music page towards an end but first there is still some more music to play !

Our end of day theme is YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND.

You will ALWAYS have a friend at Wrigglies Exotic Pet's and you will always have a friend at Radio Love International.



And here's our signature tune.


It is indeed a small world, too small for those who do not smile and make others happy. Too small for those who are not nice, unkind or do not respect others. To conclude we showed Ro the pic of Radio International's management team. Ro held against Josh's face, The Eternal Teenager - our time lord is depicted by 1950's singer Marty Wilde. Yes, Ro said, I can see the resemblance.

Have a great day, smile and make people happy. Above all DO NOT FORGET TO WRIGGLE.
