I dont listen to much radio to be honest as Im either a tv or an ipod kind of a girl but I got my first DAB radio yesterday and I am completely in lurve!!!!!!!!!!! I had it on this morning in the kitchen dancing around getting ready for work (normally its silence but mrs strawbs is still away) and I loved it!!! Its pre sets all the stations so I dont have to worry!! woop woop..


Moos - those buses are wicked - I sooooooooooooooooooo want one if you get bored xx

I see you're uncoolness annaj and I'll raise you.... how about adding in a dash of Radio 2?!!


I have Absolute, Radio 1 and 4, Heart and Capital as preset stations on my car radio but still I find myself going back to Radio 2 (just to confuse have that preset as station 1!!)


Find it esp satisfying to have talk back to the radio at some of the numpties they have on Jeremy Vine (inc the man himself!). Had to head up the the wilds of East Anglia and back the other day and apart from Steve Wright - who was esp annoying me - it was R2 all the way - added treat was having Tom Jones on with Chris Evans!


... is there anyone uncooler than me?!!

Strawbs you did get a starring role in my recent snow-in-ED epic, but since it's you, here you go. A bus for you and "The Real Mrs C".

I'm with Jah, gave up music radio in '97ish when xfm was bought up,worried that if I ever unexpectedly heard coldplay i may end up doing time. Since those days it's been the glorious (and not so glorious) LBC (97.3). I even set the alarm an extra hour earlier so mI can listen to Steve Allen in the morning.....

Come on Quids and Jeremy, let's find some common ground. Both of you come and join me in my Clash dream.

It was in black and white and on a street corner in New York City, never been there so don't know which one.

There was Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Topper Headon and from my point of view me. So I'd given myself the Paul Simonon role in this dream, 25 years ago I'd've given him a run, but truthfully he's aged better.

Anyway, we formed a circle, put our arms around each other and touched heads.

Joe said 'This is the last time The Clash will ever stand together', and we all held on to each other as the city carried on around us.

I woke up, I'd been sleeeping on my back and tears were running out of the corners of my eyes, I had tears in my ears.

Never had a dream like it since, but perhaps once is enough.

As well, Mott The Hoople are reforming for some shows in October, now that's a dream come true.


Thanks to you both for bringing together Mott The Hoople and The Clash, not that they were ever too far away in lots of ways, Mick Jones, Guy Stevens, Bill Price and the roots of punk rock etc.


Anyway, shake hands and do a version of All The Yound Dudes.

Then slam into the single version of White Riot and pogo together lovingly.

There, that's better.

    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really? 
    • No party is willing to tackle the "elephant in the room" which is the national debt. It is costing the country circa £100 Billion ANNUALLY to service that debt. That is more than the defence and education budgets. That debt burden has to be reduced which in reality means cost cuts. That means cutting back state pensions, index-linked pensions for civil servants and others such as police, NHS etc. It means cutting back on universal credit and cutting the number of people who are claiming benefits.
