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.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
