Asg - whatever you are as an 'it,' do not claim to know what I am doing because you don't know. You (it) have no guts so do Mike a favor and answer his posted question - but don't try to side-step the question as posted - like your other alter-ego James McGregor. I think that you and Fred Bramley and David LW are all one person, and that person is a gormless idiot. If you have nothing to contribute to a discussion please mumble to yourself.

Ah, another post from the 'it'. If you are not interested, why are you bothering to post here? You are a gormless idiot and that is not slander. It could be libel, but since you don't know the difference and since you as a human being do not exist, well, I think that you have established the fact that you are a gormless idiot and a troll like James McGregor. Wait, are you James McGregor or Fred Bramley?

This is for James McGregor aka Fred Bramley aka Agb. You address me on another board by my first name and claim that I am stalling at doing something. What makes you think that? Mike knows what I am doing and what I am not doing, and he already told you that. But being the gormless idiot rolled into one, you have taken to avoiding topics and posting nonsense instead. Shut up Agb/McGregor/Bramley/LW, until you can engage in a sensible conversation.

Shut up Agb/McGregor/Bramley/LW,

The new party game that's sweeping the nation faster than music hall chairs of Peter/Rob Rob /Peter - so passe the favoured radio manager parcel games!

I totally agree with the above sentiments, of course

From Hagger, Brooks, Books, any other sarcastic name he / you / she /all you can pot kettle call think of between you!

I (James) did put a point or a question ( I can't remember precisely, I am a bit dim) on your other board using the term stalling

Which you yourself and your other made up names are teaching us a master class in

You apart from stalling do have some teaching ability - mainly installing rubbish insinuations in videos that the flight path will soo be levelling off and soaring in your favour

Personally I James, think you are doing a good impression of Alan Partridge "Hand gliding". And we all know what that means - Doctor soft lube soap - also me rushes to scene of crash landing to revive you with my mouth to yours

Apparently we are all posting on this board because we are "just a group of rejects from Garry's board all whimpering having been kicked out for good reason mate! Let them stew in their own juices a collection of idiots all in one place.

McGregor and Atlantisgb are one and the same person, plus a whole lot of others like Bramley and LW. Instead of answering Mike's question on this thread, McGregor/Atlantisgb reposted the art work and link with this comment on the GS Board:

"You are supposed to be applauding over the appalling misspelling of this fine art work cinematic premonition of impending doom."

Aside from frequent use of American English (eg: color instead of colour) in the video, I fail to see the "appalling misspelling", but I do see the same style of McGregor and Atlantisgb rolled into one.

But the cheek of this idiot McGregror/Atlantisgb, he seems to have blinkers on and cannot see what Garry Stevens wrote on the Board this idiot is commenting on. Garry fails in everyone's English by writing:

"we will not tolerate ANY FORM of direct attacks on any individual, and or their projects and companys!!"

When did the plural spelling of companies change to Garryesque, as in grotesque?

Just after Agb/McGregor/Bramley/LW had been identified as one idiot with many names, the first name on that line wrote this on the GS Can't Spell Board:

"Posted by Atlantisgb! on May 16, 2021, 9:48 pm, in reply to "Re: dial 999 for Caroline"
Ah.
the M factor,
wondered why the link didn't work.
Agb!"

No, it was the "A Factor" who put a "." between "tu.be" and caused the link YOU posted, to fail.

Typical of this idiot who under the name "Bramley" rabbits on about the book by Ian Cowper Ross and claims that it is a "novel" and not a 'roman-a-clef' work in which clues are peppered throughout the text for YOU to discover what is true and what is a misdirection.

Of course the daft anoraks like Agb....Bramley think they know who financed Radio Caroline, but so far NOT ONE anorak has posted a response to the question posed by Mike on this Board. (For that matter, the idiot anoraks have not posted a response that makes sense wherever that question has been posed.

I wonder if Agb.....Bramley can actually read, or does IT just look at pictures on the covers of books?

Yes, this is for you Dave Bridges. You just left a very silly post on a very silly Board that reads as follows:

"Posted by Dave Bridges on May 17, 2021, 12:30 pm, in reply to "Re: dial 999 for Caroline"
There is some twaddle talked on here but nowhere near so much as on that dreadfully assembled heap of nonsense. Why the hell do you people keep promoting him on here? The writer of it must be the most anti-Radio person ever. Comes across as totally arrogant pillock. ignore him and let him fester in his own nonsense."

1. You did not state the nature of your complaint, only that you were writing nonsense about nonsense.

2. Since your post deals with the question posed by Mike on this thread, why did you a) avoid answering the question, b) assume that Mike is anti-radio.

3. Unless you want to be identified with the long-line of idiots beginning with Atlantisgb who started the thread you posted your nonsense about nonsense on, why don't you answer Mike's question? You will be the first anorak to do so. Think about that claim to your fame.

Let me enlighten you:

1. It does not appear to be a complaint, merely an observation about the twaddle written on the CB blog.

2. I read the comment as a comment on the blog, not an attempt to answer any question. He suggests that the writer of the CB blog is anti-radio, not Mike.

3.Again, the intention of the post was not to answer any question.

I think you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick, misunderstanding either by not reading properly or by deliberately misinterpreting it.

My, these anoraks ,or should I wrote THE anorak (all saying the same thing with many names), have not even attempted to answer Mike's question, yet they pepper the Internet with silly remarks about the question: who financed Radio Caroline in 1964? Then, after giving us the answer to that question explain how the Beatles became so famous long before Radio Caroline uttered a peep.

My guess is more silence in reply to these questions but a hail of personal attacks from the anorak (who uses many names.)

While some are stuck in the 60's, others move on:

Times Saturday Review contains a list of "The 10 best apps and new digital radio stations"

At number 6 is Radio Caroline:-

"Radio Caroline is the last pirate radio ship in the world that is fully functioning. The British radio station was founded in 1964 to circumvent the BBC’s radio broadcasting monopoly and has grown significantly in the past year. Most recently a new sister station called Caroline Community Radio was launched in October last year as a training ground for new presenters. Boat trips to the radio ship Ross Revenge, anchored in the River Blackwater estuary in Essex, are planned to resume from June 26 (restrictions permitting). Broadcasting music from the 1960s to contemporary, with an emphasis on rock, the station has a strict “no Covid talk” policy, billing itself as a “haven for people who are sick of hearing about it”.
Free to listen, or £1.99 for the app to use the Listen Again feature; radiocaroline.co.uk

MP pokes fun at Cummings' new supporters
Conservative MP William Wragg uses his question to suggest many former critics of Dominic Cummings have switched to support him now that he is criticising Boris Johnson.

He says many people have had a "strange epiphany" from considering Cummings as someone whose words and deeds could not be trusted, into a "prophet who fresh from the wilderness brings with him supposed truths written on tablets of stone".

His comments prompt some laughter from other MPs in the Commons chamber.

They came from Colchester, the Post Office headquarters at Colchester, produced their cards, said that they'd like to inspect my station. They did inspect my station, they took no notice of a large picture of Caroline on the wall or some Caroline notepaper on the table. They never questioned me about it at all.
CN: How long had you been operating for Caroline, by the time this happened?
BS: Twelve months ..
CN: So you'd been in action quite a while.
BS: Oh, yes.
CN: This was not a sudden visit out of the blue, just after you'd started
BS: No, no. They inspected my station and found it correct and looked at my logbook. Didn't ask me anything about Caroline - what was really comical, one of them said to me, do you get any interference from that bloody pirate ship out there? I said, no it doesn't interfere with me. I've got pretty good receivers of course, they're selective and all that. He said, I wondered if you got any interference, only the Postmaster General, speaking in a hushed voice when he mentioned the Postmaster General, said the Postmaster General was very anxious to get some evidence or material against Caroline, Radio Caroline.
I said, oh yes, what have they done? He said, well we are building up a file to produce. in parliament and we'll try and bring in the Marine Offences Bill, and if we can get some complaints, I mean, you're a skilled radio bloke, do you get any interference on your amateur radio or on your ordinary broadcasts or anything? I said, well I must be truthful, I don't, my receiver equipment's good, I don't get any complaints at all. So, he said, well the Postmaster General would very much � be very pleased, if you do get any complaints, will you write us a letter and complain saying that you can't get the broadcast and you can't get the ..
CN: Did they say that many other people had complained?
BS: No.
CN: Because I don't think very many people did, really, when you come down to it.
BS: No. So I said, well, let's leave it at this. If I do get trouble from Caroline I will certainly write you a letter. We left it at that, and we shook hands and away they went.
CN: You don't think they were playing a game, with you?
BS:No. No, I'm sure they weren't.

The Literary theory of “the Suspension of Disbelief” and Bubble Markets
Jul. 6, 2009 9:35 AM

Suspension of disbelief or "willing suspension of disbelief" is a formula devised by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge to justify the use of fantastic or non-realistic elements in literature. Coleridge suggested that if a writer could infuse a "human interest and a semblance of truth" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgment concerning the implausibility of the narrative.

Britain’s most controversial former judge greets me at the front door of his house, disconcertingly casual in an open-necked shirt and pullover. Only his trademark unkempt shock of now white hair – ‘he looks like the professor from Back to the
Future only without the mad eyes’ said one acquaintance – is familiar....

......

And, that's despite them, generally speaking, having a far lower level of education compared to the average in the general population, which probably explains why they think they have found the truth via looney youtube videos, and facebook posts from Jim the road sweeper, or his wife, the yoga teacher.

They never give up on trying to spread 'the word' and 'help' others to see 'the light', in their tiny minds, they think of themselves as preachers, spreading 'the truth'.

The reality, of course, is they are the sheep, that fell down a massive rabbit hole, and are totally lost, there no way of bringing them back, I find it very sad that they can be fooled so easily.

They are well & truly lost to the cult of the 'Church of Conspiraloons.'

Former prime minister Tony Blair says it is time to distinguish between the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

His comments come after his Institute for Global Change recommended a so-called health pass, to be used at home and abroad.

Those vaccinated should have "maximum freedom" - including for travel, he tells the BBC's Andrew Marr Show. It is "important to give a real incentive to get vaccinated", he adds.

If you have had both jabs, it should be made "much easier" for you to get in or out of the country, says Blair.

He says everyone should have the vaccine "unless they have a good medical reason" - but stops short of saying it should be mandatory.

On the 21 June reopening for England, he says this is still "uncertain" at the moment.

I have a question regarding the forthcoming book, if I may;

The author is stated as being Caroline Brooks who as we know is a pen name for Emma Baskir, also known according to her Facebook page as Emma Jane and Burgundy Rose.

The preface to the book also states that Caroline Brooks is merely the narrator and that it is left to the reader to decide who the writer is. I appreciate that the 'About the Author' page is not yet complete, but we have previously been advised in the blog that Caroline is merely a vehicle for the true author who, of course, we all know to be Mervyn Hagger.

Why, then, is Mr Hagger not using his own name for this important work as he has done in his previous academic papers? Caroline/Emma is clearly not the originator of the text. Indeed, other blog entries have all the hallmarks of Mr. Hagger's writing and align with forum posts made in his own name on 'Radio Now and Then for example.

It's all very confusing and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would welcome clarification.

Every single thread now will be Covid subordinated (until Jeffs welcomed back)

More ammunition for the joke board to be all serious and smugger than usual

Maybe they have a point

BTW I think I threated Mervyn with my wizard powers to make him disappear if he does not start saying nice thinks about the past

Having hopefully wished Freddie well, I see another date of significance is now March 3 1968 which we had heard of before and is now bizarrely linked to Brian Cox of the D Reaming Planets. I know anoraks love these strange mystical number / date hocus pocus. July 14 will be a real April 20 for them. Then again it might be delayed. The religion rambles on.

Cancelled! The 10 great comedies they wouldn’t make today
Jennifer Saunders thinks Ab Fab wouldn't be made now. But from Fawlty Towers to Father Ted, which other shows wouldn't get off the ground?

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

“I remember jokes,” said Jennifer Saunders with a nostalgic lilt at a talk at a West End theatre earlier this week. She was describing how, in the current climate, most of the gags in her classic sitcom Absolutely Fabulous would simply not make the cut. The potential for controversy, she said, has rendered comedy sterile. “I think people do talk themselves out of stuff now because everything is sensitive.”

Yet precisely what made Absolutely Fabulous mould-breaking was its outrageous indifference to mainstream sensibilities. You were supposed to understand that sozzled PR lady Edina (played by Saunders) said outrageous things because she was the joke – as the Lacroix capri pants and the bottle of Bolly should have indicated.

But in the age of trumped-up outrage and cancel culture, this sort of territory has become off-limits. It’s simply not in the interests of a TV executive to green-light a risqué comedy that could be misconstrued, deliberately or otherwise, and then lose them their job. The fear of causing offense has stymied the creation of magic.

Which is why these 10 comedies, all of them classics in their own right, would not get made today.

Dad’s Army
Earlier this year, a showing of the sitcom’s 1971 movie on the BBC was preceded by a warning about “discriminatory language”. That one of the most beautifully crafted, most loved sitcoms ever made should require a reminder that attitudes were different 50 years ago seems itself laughable, but it underlines the fact that in 2021 it’s unlikely that Captain Mainwaring and his all-white Home Guard would ever make it to the screen.

Clive Dunn’s character L-Cpl Jones regularly used the phrase “Fuzzy-Wuzzies”, a derogatory name for a black person, the cast was predominantly male, and Mainwaring’s wife, never seen on screen, is depicted as both neurotic and bossy. What’s more, the underlining message (of how the Germans, to borrow, Jones’s other catchphrase, “don’t like it up ’em”) sounds jingoistic to Gen Z ears.

Ab Fab
Women drinking too much, neglecting their children and making fun of fat people – that could have been the synopsis for Ab Fab, but read now it would land the script straight in the slush pile. Absolutely Fabulous was a product of its age (the early 1990s), a time of excess when a PR woman and her best friend staggering around with a bottle of Bolly in hand was an aspirational career choice. Patsy (Joanna Lumley) and Eddy’s wrecking-ball political incorrectness was simply a product of their characters – a recurring put-down from Eddy to her daughter Saffy was that she was fat – but it wouldn’t wash today.

The Office
David Brent was the ultimate inappropriate boss. He was also one of the greatest comedic creations of the last 20 years. The Office stands as a milestone in comedy, defining a whole new genre (mockumentary) and influencing a generation of comics and TV shows. Yet its creator, Ricky Gervais, has said that the series – with its jokes about race, disability and “fat Keith” – probably wouldn’t get made today. The problem is that cancel culture has obliterated people’s irony sensors, he says: “I think now it would suffer because people take things literally. There’s these outrage mobs who take things out of context. And the broadcasters have gotten more and more careful.”

Peep Show
These days, in the age of I May Destroy You, Fleabag and I Hate Suzie, no one is interested in the world as seen through the male gaze. But Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong’s Peep Show was literally filmed that way, using a signature technique of a head-mounted camera showing the world as Jez (Robert Webb) and Mark (David Mitchell) were seeing it. Peep Show ran for nine series, made stars of Mitchell and Webb, and propelled Armstrong on to The Thick of It, the Will Ferrell movie Downhill and the world’s current favourite show, Succession. But there’s little chance Channel 4 would take a sitcom revolving around the daily life of two young, white men today.

Fawlty Towers
Where to start? Anti-Spanish (Manuel), anti-German (the goose-stepping) or just lazily racist (Major Gowen discussing the West Indies cricket team), the greatest British comedy of all ticks just about every single non-compliance box
