Add to all of that the fact that it's author presents the book as non fiction when clearly some of it is complete and utter fiction. Perhaps the biggest problem is the denial the author puts up when he is challenged and presented with properly researched accounts with plenty of verifiable documents and logic. For example the MV Frederica was heading to the river Medina, and East Cowes in the Isle of Wight initially and for good reason was redirected to Greenore in Ireland. Not possible screams the fantasy author! Only a fool would think you could dock the Frederica there! I've been there, it's not possible (remember some of you have paid good money for his Babble). So lets take a boat trip down the Medina five years after the original plan to go there had passed. See those old riverside buildings the room to dock a ship alongside, for yes the word dock in this context is a generic term that can be used for a boat alongside a wharf, but you might need to research that, something your beloved author seems to have avoided, after all it's much easier to copy and paste stuff - innit!

While we are all in a smoky, dopey, sleepy, grumpy fug. My first answer to Fake Fred is that I have got the answer to a long standing query of mine about connecting house boats to mains drainage. I believe the answer is that there can be a permanent small bore connection to the pump out.This optibore as it were can then suck and pump out speculative shyte on a constant basis. Very tedious and repetitive I believe they are retailed by Simmonds Marine.

I know that I physically threatened MH on the GS site if he didn't quit, but then he disappeared everywhere and then CB sprang up with a Forum. Now that has shut down and it tells everyone to come over here. 'They say' (whoever CB and Co are), that they are about to drop a bomb on us Caroline OAPs, well bring it on. Let's see what you've got in this long promised book. Agb who is the voice of Scottg says you don't have anything.

I told MH/CB that everyone knew about Radio Cambridge on 250, and that is when he had a fit and closed down his Forum and redirected everyone here. I guess now he has played his hand and everyone yawned he has nothing left and the CB Blog will fold up and disappear.

I doubt anything you say is accurate, you just can't stand the fact that all the myths about Radio Caroline in the sixties are being exposed. You need to get over the fact that Ronan was just a mouth piece back then and a blagger and worse ever after! Deal with it!

A book later this year......where have we heard that before? He still thinks people are running scared of his exposé when it's just a big 'whatever 'as he gets peat bogged down in the minutae of Greenore and dispenses lessons on history. A complete irrelevance and a waste of time and effort.

Idiot protest middle class metropolitan bubble group Extinction Rebellion have just found out about Radio Caroline and have declared it an endangered specie. Plans to block the river Blackwell with pretend listeners are at an advanced stage. A spokesman for the group known only as Ralph Rich stated that Extinction Rebellion is always pleased to help any point scoring bandwagon and despite Radio Caroline not ticking any of those boxes, they just felt sorry for a small group desperately hanging onto past glorious whilst fast tracking their own obvious demise. A spokesperson for Radio Caroline stated "have you any spare change".

The sad reality is that some have been completely taken in by the old hippy. He has slow walked the final incarnation of Radium Carolsmiley to it's inevitable end. Pitiful RSL's that came and went and were quickly forgotten. He traded 10 kilowatts for 10 watts. The Ross Revenge has sat alone for most of the past twenty years, these days it's an OAP's weekend home once a month. 648 a decade to late, but tell that to any of his disciples. They applaud everything that is done as progress, onwards and upwards they shout. It has taken an awful lot of money from willing donors to keep the whole charade going, yet they have no say over anything that happens. The anoraks are idiots according to the hippy, he may be right as they still donate cash and worship the licensed sell out.

It's not about disrupting research, it's about the unwarranted, spiteful attacks . You reap what you sow. You go ahead if it makes you happy, in the mistaken belief that anyone is quaking in their boots. I'd be interested to know how you arrive at the conclusion that your research has not been read, based on no evidence whatsoever.

Oh good a boat trip to the Ross has a waiting list. Do those of us who worked on renovating the Motor Vessel in Dover get to jump the cue, we put an awful lot of our own money and supplies into the saving of the boat. I thought not! Some of us asked awkward questions, some of us spoke up for Steve and Wendy, some of us looked after Neil Gates and took him to the pub for a few nights out (on us). You go on defending the great pretender (PM) and his sledge hammer approach to those who put their lives at risk while he was on the piss in London dining out with his hippy mates.

The dopes who have imported the lunacy of Black Lives Matter don't want to know about all of the WHITE slaves that the British Crown shipped overseas. Nor do they want to challenge the myth that Nazi Germany alone began WWII - when RUSSIA jointly invaded and carved-up Poland and then mass murdered thousands of its elite and blamed it on Hitler.

The trolls and dopes as you call them are a tiny proportion of Caroline listeners, most of whom will be unaware nor interested in a small internet forum or any 'investigation'. Come out of your bubble and into the real world where people just listen to the radio stations of their choice and get on with their lives. It is comments like yours which also put you firmly in the troll camp.

Hi, It is in the actual website article link. I have just checked it. Scroll lower down below the begging bowl adds for a popular commercial newspaper and 29 amusing comments taking off on 23 April fall out of a pure junkers article. The film directors submission is the last parachute. This film director is of course on the road to education, enlightenment and mega immorality, which is what anyone who can achieve the score of HHH on Pac Man would desire in eternal life. That and their more easily riddled name read out by Gary Ziepe!

Not to milk the EHL thing but I had a look on you tube and this long 151 mins is very good. Actually as I said sometime before, as film adaptions go and considering it was in 1976 it is very faithful to the original and must have cost a bomb to make. I think modern critics only sneer at Larry Hagman because they remember him as JR which did not even start until the 1978 and not as the the befuddled astronaut Major Anthony "Tony" Nelson in the 1965–1970 sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. I always remember him for saying get the hell outa my office Barnes. Why Barnes had actually gone to his office in the first place apart from the purposes of televisual excitement was never made clear
