Absolute Radio do a segment in the afternoon called 'I haven't heard that for ages'.
The idea being people can ask for songs that you used to hear a lot but now never seem to be played.
I've just requested the Australian national anthem.

British police have arrested a 17-year-old boy, who wasn’t named by media, on suspicion of malicious communications. The arrest resulted from a Twitter message sent to diver Tom Daley after he and his partner finished fourth in the men’s synchronized diving at the Olympics. The message accused Daley of letting down his father, who died last year from cancer. The Twitter user later apologized at least twice. But someone reported his initial remark to police.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19059127After coming fourth in the men's synchronised 10m platform diving event on Monday, the 18-year-old from Plymouth received a message telling him he had let down his father, Rob.
Rob Daley died in May 2011 from brain cancer.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested at a guest house in the Weymouth area on suspicion of malicious communications.
Dorset Police said they acted after being contacted by a member of the public at about 22:30 BST on Monday.
A spokesman was unable to confirm whether the arrest was specifically over the tweets to Daley or subsequent Twitter conversations with other users.
Daley responded to the tweet by posting: "After giving it my all...you get idiot's sending me this..."
He said: "I'm sorry mate i just wanted you to win cause its the olympics I'm just annoyed we didn't win I'm sorry tom accept my apology."
He later added: "please i don't want to be hated I'm just sorry you didn't win i was rooting for you pal to do britain all proud just so upset."
After Daley sent the tweet on to his followers, he received a flood of supportive messages.
Daley's diving partner Pete Waterfield tweeted: "For all the haters out there, come do what we do then have ur say."
Open water swimmer Keri-Anne Payne also posted: "Ignore the idiots! Not worth it."
Another Twitter user, @sherricramer, posted: "You did your dad so proud! Never give up."

Deputy mayor of the Olympic Village, Duncan Goodhew, a swimming gold and bronze medallist at the Moscow Olympics in 1980, described the behaviour of the offending Twitter user as "appalling".
"I suppose that social media in one sense is fantastic, but turned the wrong way round it is very, very personal and it destroys people's lives.
"So I think people should be much more careful about what they say."
Rob Daley, who was instrumental in helping his son become one of the world's top divers, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2006.
He had 80% of a fist-sized tumour removed that year and had been in remission until a routine health check in 2010 discovered a tumour had returned.
Speaking before the Olympics, Daley said his father had given him the inspiration to compete in the Games.
He told the BBC: "I'm doing it for myself and my dad. It was both our dreams from a very young age.
"I always wanted to do it and Dad was so supportive of everything."
Nothing about racism, he just sent a mean tweet.
"Ah, you miserable creatures! You who think that you are so great! You who judge humanity to be so small! You who wish to reform everything! Why don't you reform yourselves? That task would be sufficient enough."

It wasn't for the tweet to Tom Daley. It was for what's in that link - which I have no problem with prosecuting him for. Had he left out the threat of torture, I see nothing legally wrong, but we've had this debate before (some thread where Uzi couldn't understand the differences between the US and UK legal system and the respective philosophies behind them).Spark wrote:

One of the Brit Decathletes does too I reckon, though obviously he has the advantage of not being German.
