Westlife's Nicky has a dinner with dozens of shoppers

By Adrian Kennedy

We're FM104 DJs, Get Us Out Of Here! Well, that's the way we were feeling earlier today as the 104-hour challenge in the Clerys window began to take its toll both physically and mentally.

What a weird feeling it was this morning, waking up and seeing the GPO outside our bedroom window, and people pressed against the window taking photos of us sleeping.

Along with my colleague Jeremy, we've been living, working, eating and sleeping in the window and today we were asked to do our first task: Adrian Kennedy v Jeremy Dixon in a game of Jenga. The loser would have to perform a forfeit -- the forfeit in this case was a spray-on tan performed live in the window in front of a street of on-lookers.

After a spine-chilling game of Jenga, watched by more than 150 spectators, I emerged the victor.

Suffice to say, Jeremy now looks well and truly tangoed with FM104 Phoneshow listeners now nicknaming him the oompa-loompa DJ.

Loyal

Following those high jinks, our celebrity guest joined us for dinner.

Tonight it was Westlife's Nicky Byrne. His loyal female fans began queuing outside from early morning.

By the time he arrived, at 6pm, there was a frenzy. Hundreds of FM104 listeners and Nicky fans catching a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity -- Adrian, Nicky and Jeremy eating their dinner.

During the show, things went a bit crazy outside our studio window.

We had an Al Pacino look-a-like perform ballroom dancing, a topless man with FM104 printed on his chest and an interesting character who spent 20 minutes freestyle dancing for the spectators.

Time to get some sleep. We only wish the road-sweeping truck would stop driving by.
