Martin and Sarah, The Hits announcers on the breakfast show, 89.5 FM, Napier.

Martin and Sarah, The Hits announcers on the breakfast show, 89.5 FM, Napier.

The battle rages on this week as we campaign for votes in the "Batman Election" aka who will be the boss of the show.

So far, Martin's hung his hat on the fact he pushes the buttons and has the ability to shut Sarah up by turning off her microphone (something he receives much praise for). Sarah has chosen to remind everyone she is younger and therefore more likely to outlive him.

By Friday we'll have chucked some election promises in there as well, voting will open and we will then find out who will be the caped crusader for the next three years.

One thing we know already is that we're the No1 breakfast show round here! And, of course, when we heard the news, celebrations were in order!

So it was off on a mystery bus trip which wasn't mysterious at all as we knew where we were going, but it was still a lot of fun (especially as the mode of transport was a flash limo masquerading as a bus).

Sarah turned up late to everyone's shock (not) and once Martin realised she was drinking bourbon, he knew the night would go one of two ways. Either Sarah would drink too much too quickly and make a complete embarrassment of herself or she would drink too much too quickly and fall asleep.

It ended up a bit of both. After managing to spill her first two drinks over herself and the floor, Sarah was in fine form as we ventured to our next destination in Havelock North, where she talked too loudly, laughed too hard and made our group stand outside in the cold for 20 minutes before our transport returned.

One more stop in Napier and then it was home to bed for Sarah after all, it was 9pm! Mr stomach-made-of-iron Good carried on with the team into the wee small hours, where they took over an establishment and commandeered the sound system, while the restaurant staff politely started cleaning up around them and turning off the lights ... then not so politely asked them to vamoose so they could go home.

For the sake of Bay's bars and patrons, thankfully we get ratings results only once a year!
