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'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely. 
    • My view is that any party that welcomes a self-declared Marxist would merit a negative point.
