He pulls a face. "I'm anyone's for a piece of cake." Then he lets out a sigh.

 

 

Could definitely be talking about me!

I used to listen to Radio 1. Now it's Radio 2 [*] - including Chris Evans. And yes - I quite like his shows. (There was a period when he did go off on one at the end of his TFIF/Radio 1 days.)

 

Maybe I've just got a bit older, along with all my other previous R1 jocks - Sara Cox, Zoe Ball, Simon Mayo, Jo Whiley, Steve Wright, Johnnie Walker, Garry Davies, heck, even Tony Blackburn!

 

 

Cheers,

Mick

[*]Jeremy Vine is the turn off.

I don't listen to Radio 2 butiIt wasn't Chris Evans that finally put me off Radio 1 back in the day - it was Chris I love the Sound of My Own Voice Moyles. He has even rocked up on Radio X and that is one of the reasons I don't listen to that on a weekday....

Ah this page 45 business is most intruiging, what :

 

''In 1933 Rolls-Royce re-intorduced the Bentley marque, with an all new 3 & 1/2 litre chassic, as ever, the all new bodies were provided by coachbuilders - this sedanca de ville style being typical''.

 

Must ditch the Alfa for something more upmarket!

 

Cheery pip.

Ahh UK radio. Utter crap. Now I'm not saying the noisy asshats on Canadian and US radio are any better but they actually play a lot more music per hour than here and manage to actually talk about the music not their own lives.  If I'm out and about driving I want music, traffic, news, and little else. I really don't give a flying phuque what the ginger tw@ (many other annoying "personalities" available) had for dinner last night, or have them laughing at each other's inside "jokes". Yawn.  We rarely listen to radio anymore with the exception of Radionomy streams.

What No mention of muddy hollows. Quelle Horreur.

There's a theme emerging here on ER's we must have some sort of group interest in railways. Don't tell Debs.

Chewsday.

Survived a rather pedestrian Labor Day weekend with a few highlights.

Jemma and Whitney joined us Saturday and overnight and we had a nice relaxing walk/casual dinner/evening of Yatzee.

Sunday several friends came up for the day. More relaxing, casual dining, drinking...

Monday we left around noon as Trevor, Meagan and Jemma were going to come over for the day at home.

That's about "it" really.

 

Given the Labor Day weekend marks (for most of the US population it seems) a defined end of summer, we're now ALREADY being bombarded with Halloween crap in stores and on TV!

Even attempting to state that the event is two blqqdy months away doesn't seem to register as any good reason not to start the commercial overload <sigh>

 

Seems there's every chance danger my replacement Laptop may show up today. Slated originally for tomorrow but in checking the "tracking history" it already made it to Minneapolis yesterday and is showing as "out for delivery" <yay>!!

 

Weekend weather was pleasant, punctuated overnight Saturday with a rain storm. Cooler temperatures prevail at least for now.

Starting the 4-day work week with 19 and raining this AM, expecting rain most of the day and a high of 23.

 

Hope your week progresses as required.

Smooth radio is one to miss. I think they only have 24 records and those must all be recorded on a loop played nightly. Maybe the dj sits at home, interjecting occasionally when he knows there is a gap on the tape.

One day we'll find out when the tape breaks.

 

Used to like Emperor Rosco.

 

In the 70's Tony Blackburn used to bang on every blooming day about how his wife had gone off with his little boy. Still can't stand the pratt.

[TheQ]

If you saw the ginger headed one on the news yesterday, you'll have seen he's now just faintly yellow as age catches up with him..

If Sarah Cox gets the job I won't be listening, if you think the Evens gets Childish , wait till. You hear the Cox going on About holibobs.

 

Meantime my sails haven't arrived, and the tracking disappeared from Ebay, after showing "driver has not scanned" for several days, then "oops there has been a problem" this morning. After wandering around Ebay just now, I found the Hermes Tracking number, put that in on their site, to find they only picked it up from the sellers nearest parcel depot at 17:05 last night...

Evening all from Estuary-Land. Checked myself out on the 'How old is your heart' websight. Got quite a shock as according to the website my heart is 78! However it turns out that if you cannot quote things such as cholesterol or BG it assumes the worst. I used to have regular check ups when I was working and those two figures were very low resulting in a 'heart age' as much as 8 years below my actual age.

[Barry O]

Of to Edgbaston  for a meeting with the ECB ACO in the mornings so..

 

Night awl!

Morning All

 

I am in full agreement with Mal about Chris Evans - his show is just a mouth driven bore - how he commands the listener figures that he is alleged to do  is quite incredible - perhaps he appeals to a slightly younger audience - about the six to ten age group.  He has said that he doesn't know who will replace him, but Sara Cox is 2/1 on favourite.

 

 

Rest assured I will not be tuning in to Virgin Radio for the sake of that t**t. He often comes across as a bit like the famed Oozlum Bird with his eyes staring out through his teeth, I suspect.

[BSW01]

Good evening everyone

 

Today shopping trip went without a hitch, in fact I was only out about 50 minutes all told. So once I’d packed away the shopping I made myself a muggertea and had a quick read of the latest MERG magazine. Then it was outside to carry on working on the patio. I’m at the point where I can order my first delivery of mortar, but that will probably be next week. After dinner I spent about 30 minutes at the front, removing the odd weed or two and generally giving it a bit of a tidy up.

 

On page 45 of the book to my left, there were no words (or pictures) was just numbers and blank spaces ................it’s a sudoku book!

I wonder if the blanks are anything to do with me firing them!

 

As for radio, we listen to Classic FM in the house, in the workshop I listen to my iPod, set to random so I never know what’s coming next, rock, folk, pop, classical.

 

Goodnight folks.

[The Stationmaster]

G'night all

Goodnight all.

Have a good one folks.

 

Cheers,

Greetings all from red dragon land.

 

Interesting last few days.

Travelled to Loughborough Friday and only got a few miles along the A55 before taking a diversion to bypass an "incident" at Jct 24.  Got there eventually, helping Terry set up CQ, Ray programming Terry's locos.  Saturday, he had them all working so we had a good day.  Sunday afternoon, we shot over to Telford for a few hours coming away with some stuff for the new layout.  Monday, it was a 6.30am departure to Minffordd for a bone shaker ride on the Ffestiniog Gravity Train.  Rain had dried up by the time we got there and we had a brilliant 2hour ride, taken up in slate wagons by Linda which were let loose at Dduallt for the free run back down to Minffordd.  Feeling in need of some refreshment at the bottom, we headed to Porthmadog Station for a cuppa and popped into the r***way shop and ended up with a couple of C*****mas presents for out little granddaughters!  Then off to the Welsh Highland for an early lunch (to make up for the early breakfast) and back home to play with some new toys try out some ideas on the baseboards.

 

As I said, we went over to Telford on leaving Loughborough, not expecting the exciting news from Terry a bit later:    LOOK HERE >>>  #1244

The page in the nearest book has no sentences. Top line of p. 45

0-6-0T J72 | 8717 2310 | 0-6-0T J52 | 8795 4058 | 8834 4235

It's the abc LNER locomotives 1947 renumbering edition.

 

No opinions offered on BBC radio types; if they haven't appeared on Just a Minute we don't know them.  We stopped listening to CBC radio some years ago. The music after noon changes to some sort of pop and the morning announcer talks more about herself than the music. We have a number of wi-fi/internet radios and have chosen some reliable PBS stations.

[Ozexpatriate]

OK, I'll play along.

 

pp 44 // 45

 

Down come // the cardinal's hunting scenes, the scenes of secular pleasure: the sportive peasants splashing in ponds, the stags at bay, the hounds in cry, the spaniels held on leashes of silk and the mastiffs with their collars of spikes: the huntsmen with their studded belts and knives, the ladies on horseback with jaunty caps, the rush-fringed pond, the mild sheep at pasture, and the bluish feathered treetops, running away into a long plumed distance, to a scene of chalky bluffs and a white sailing sky.

 

Sounds like fun. Though the only remotely relevant metaphor might be "a scene of chalky bluffs" and even that would either require two mirrors or a degree of contortion of which I am quite incapable.
