The Royals

[Wilf Wolf]

Except the good ship Radio Caroline.

Reception in the Highlands isn’t great at the best of times.

I remember Tommy Boyd crying live on air on the old TalkRadio and that was the Monday

Didn't transmission from a ship end in 1990?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

In fact Caroline wasn't broadcasting at all in 1997, not even from non-ship means.

It will always be a ship to me . Perhaps it was another pirate; the memory's not what it was. Whatever it was, it was broadcasting that Sunday (on LW, I think). We were driving down the M5 listening to the car radio.

Yes, I just read that Wiki article too. See above.

I learned a lot. For instance, I thought the sinking was the cause of the 1990 hiatus, rather than the 1980-1981 issue before they got a second boat. Every day is a school day. Learn something and the time isn't wasted!

Unlike, "where were you when Alun Evans was transferred from Wolves to Liverpool"?

Reading posts on the Wolves forum about 3 hours before you

People say the same “where were you” about when Di died. Personally I don’t feel that way at all about either event.

It’s just a rich old lady dying. Sad for her family but means nothing to me.

 

[Jolemai]

Have the E&S done a "Career in Pictures" yet?

 

[Del Woppio]

A bit lost for words to be honest

Lost for words that a 96 year old woman has died?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fucking hell Beeb. If I click on football it’s because I am trying to avoid articles about this. Thought you MIGHT have learned from the record level of complaints over Phil the Greek but clearly fucking not.

On the phone with EE discussing renewing my contract. A memory I will cherish forever.

Most of us in the UK would've been in bed.

The moratorium on live BBC broadcasting extends even to the live football blogs. Get settled in, the hagiography is going to get very grating, very quickly, but also last for a long time.

I was enjoying grilled sardines at a restaurant in St Helier.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bloody hell. They have stopped the live update feed from the Arsenal game on the Beeb website. Jesus fucking Christ on a bike.

 

[Jolemai]

The rail strikes next week have been suspended too.
