Oh JOY of JOY.....


Danny Baker will return to the BBC London 94.9fm airwaves on the 18th of April.


I am overjoyed however,since his absence I've strayed off the dial after 3 p.m.


( there is only so much Gary Crowley a man girl can take. I can do 10 minutes before I throw the cat at the radio or shave my hair off )


So today, for the first time in ages at work and then in the car, I listened to BBC radio 1. ( no really, I did )


IT MADE ME LAUGH LOTS....


( I may be suffering from a form of cabin fever/ oasis vision syndrome )


The candy man may well save the day.

Ahhhh hhhhaaaa....


You are a pleb. Where have you been, serving a sentence in solitary confinement for the last few years?


Danny baker is a comic genius, that you don't recognise that is your loss.


Surely you loved the Daz ad's, no ?

BBC Local Radio Under Threat, which includes BBC London 94.9fm.


The BBC are thinking about cutting back on local radio programmes and only making breakfast and drivetime shows. The rest of the time they would broadcast 5 Live.

In London that would mean the end of the excellent Danny Baker & the Robert Elms show, plus Jazzy B.

Also the sports coverage of local ( london ) teams.


Are the BBC FU(KING MAD ?


Jeezus H Christ, someone should put the board and the chairmans heads on a pike.

I try to avoid TV for the most part. I think I may have seen one of them once or twice, but it left no lasting impression.


Also, "ad's"?

Local radio in London is not up to much compared to its regional brethren. This afternoon I had the pleasure of Radio Wiltshire for about 20 mins on the M4. It went as follows:


Billy Ocean - When the going gets tough


An interview with a man who had written a puzzle book


The travel news - there wasn't any apparently


Enrique Iglesias


The Cake of the Week slot


Whitney Houston - I will always love you. (Described by the DJ as "having a lot of notes in it.")


I mean how can Danny Baker and co expect to compete with that kind of broadcasting gold?

Well Nashoi I do agree. I'm being a right ol' n.i.m.b.y. here.


So, leave MY radio station alone or i'll march on Parliament.


Cake of the week, now that's great on radio.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      By Spartacus · Posted

      This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye.

      Recommendation for Phil – FourPawsDoors – Cat Flap Fitter

      By cat woman · Posted

      I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
