Simon Bates and Bruno Brookes to host âFacebook Goldâ feed
Former Radio One DJs Simon Bates and Bruno Brookes are the latest addition to the growing roster of Colin Taylorâs âFacebook Goldâ feed, joining Tony Blackburn and âDiddyâ David Hamilton. âFacebook Goldâ, which re-posts some of the Eastleigh-born and bred bank clerkâs best-loved status updates launched today, with Colinâs post of exactly one year ago âOrdered caramel macchiato on the coffee run #NomNomNomâ introduced by an ebullient Blackburn. âItâs a thrilling opportunity and Iâm delighted to be on board,â Brookes told reporters. âI mean, everyone remembers what they were doing when they first saw âCanât believe how useless TalkTalk customer services are.â Iâll be introducing some of the more hard-hitting posts.â Taylor, 47, promised that âFacebook Goldâ would contain something for everyone: âThere will be posts to suit all tastes, as well as some of my choicest tweets, re-worked for the Facebook format. With seven years of status updates to choose from, thereâs plenty to choose from, but I will be focusing on peopleâs all-time favourites. So that will mean plenty of outings for the likes of âWow, havenât listened to any Stereophonics for ages. They still ROCK!â and memes like âToday is the first day of the rest of your life, so CELEBRATE! â The Dalai Lamaââ Meanwhile Simon Bates will be hosting a âgolden hourâ inviting Colinâs dozens of friends and followers to guess the year of posts as well as hosting a special daily âOur Tweetâ where he will tell the true stories behind such enigmatic status updates as âJust donât askâ¦â from 2008 and âAm going to sulk for the rest of the dayâ from 2011. Meanwhile Colin has promised his friends and followers that he will continue to post fresh status updates, saying that he is âkeen not to rely on past gloriesâ. His latest post âCanât wait to see this on Facebook Gold in a yearâs time! Lol!!â introduced by 1 Xtraâs Charlie Sloth, receiving a record three likes.
