Step aside lightweights here comes a real nutter. No bus pass required unless your an anorak, in which case your bus left in 1991. The replacement bus service is a fake, but your all old enough for a pass. Go square the circle. My thanks to Brian Spoons who asked the only reasonable question regarding the Caroline Blah blah bull, and was ignored by the author. Joe Meek versus "lets pretend" and Joe wins by a landslide!

Not so loud! Matron has sent the anoraks to bed in the last thread, keep the noise down or we will be swimming in wet blankets!

Mervyn Gagger, obviously one of Corbyns mob out to ruin traditional British Rail time table values and ensure James the Mutterer cannot get home from school in time for a wholesome Richard Briars love thy neighbour romcom on one of the 3 part time TV channels on offer. After the good life of Saturday Midnight Mass Moaning at Saint Stevens church James will be helping daddy wash the family's steam powered distraction engine and walking the family mongrol which Clan I M Dim have given the pet name of Ross because she is riddled with rusty patches, has not got much of a bark or bite these days and just sits there on her last legs fading away. James and his daddy love Ross though and won't part with her, not least because they are not sure who gipsy Uncle Hatrick O Flannlagain actually stole it from for James and his daddy to admire and pet. After a good old fashioned traditional Sunday roast of a corny beef hash up daddy Dim writes a letter to the Free Pirate Radio Association expressing his concerns about darkies being allowed to move here to work in the Nationalised Industries and horror of horrors claim housing and perhaps even a National Assistance in real cash money. Daddy Dim James Senior foams at the mouth seeing river water running black with blood and no universal credit left for hard work avoidance nutters like him and his son. Dim Clan Son James Junior occupies himself writing a letter to burn up the chimney to Santa in the North Sea asking for a Sinclair ZX speak and spellchecker, a cassette recorder so he can pretend he is a radiostar, a box of Cadbury keyboard crayons so he can write at great and incomprehensible length to his heroes in the floating grotto of hippy crack or as James thinks MV MionlyAmigo and the best Christmas present of all on the church advice of Vicar Hutton ass kisses Santa to gift him more than 2 short planks for brains and a life. Obviously back in the day Santa and Amazon did not deliver and James had to carry on muttering with just two fused brain cells to his name, crying and howling at the moon, Why have you forsaken me Almighty Father? God does not answer, listening to James God mutters even God can slip up some times

Brian, previous shenanigans aside, I would like to know what your question was.

On the GS Board a "Barry Spoons" asked a question about Joe Meek, and now this character called "Brian Spoons" seems to be taking the credit for "Barry Spoons". But if you go to the GS Board looking for the original - it is not there - I just checked, it has been deleted. Essentially the point is that if Joe Meek could buy time on 208 for his own record label to promote his own star (Michael Cox), then what was all the bruhaha from Ronan O'Rahilly who claimed that he could not do the same thing in 1963 and so he had to start his own radio station in 1964? However, O'Rahilly did not start a radio station called 'Caroline' in 1964, and if Meek could buy time on Luxy in 1960, why couldn't O'Rahilly in 1963? Of course he could, but then he had to invent a cover story for the people who really did begin Radio Caroline.

Thanks for the explanation. I suppose policies may have changed in the years between 1960 and 1963, who knows what went on. Perhaps we shall know one day.

Ronan O'Rahilly was paid to invent a cover story and that is what he did with the help of Ian Cowper Ross. Joe Meek's life makes a lie out of O'Rahilly's bogus cover story.

Admin - you are correct. Brian Spoons asked a single question that immediately destroyed the foundation of the Ronan myth as supported by this new book called 'The Caroline Bible'. When everything is stripped bare. that single question by Brian Spoons creates a conundrum which the supporters of Ronan O'Rahilly answer with their explanation that between 1960 and 1963, the opportunity available to Joe Meek was no longer available. But the forensic facts do not support their conclusion. In fact nothing supports the Ronan O'Rahilly myth except a slither of fact which has been expanded to the point where it becomes a lie. Police investigators working with prosecutors judge such antics as a failure to tell the whole truth and nothing but. I am working along the lines of a detective investigating a cold crime case. This is not rocket science, just solid police detective work. What has been revealed so far exposes a huge international criminal activity fused with geopolitical exploitation of the same kind that has now resurrected itself in the current Trump-Corbyn election issues. But again, Brian Spoons with one question exposed the lies of Ronan O'Rahilly and the fake premise of 'The Caroline Bible'. The opposition is now up in arms and desperate to silence Brian Spoons and his line of questioning. Brian Spoons reduced this issue to one question which the dim-witted Caroline cult cannot answer with honesty, so they respond with hate.

Mervyn Hagger and Brian Spoons are the same person .Sad when people start talking to themselves.Even more sad when they answer."Time waits for no one my love .No not even you" XXX one extra kiss for Brian.

Since Garry Stevens did his about face, I have not returned to his Board and therefore I am not Brian Spoons on the Garry Stevens' Board. There. Is that plain enough? The fact that Barry Spoons says something that I applaud, not mean that he is alone in doing so.

barry spoons is a real name? i dont think so

I just realized that as thick as some Posters are (like Testing 1.2,3), I had better also state that I did not begin with thread under the name of Barry Spoons. In other words I did not write and I did not post the first item in this thread under the name of Barry Spoons, and I am not Barry Spoons on the Garry Stevens' Board. There. Is that plain enough for you?

Calm down dear you'll blow a gasket .Not nice getting a taste of your own medicine is it Mr H? Ask Ed Abovewater you accused him enough of being someone else so many times.I don't believe you anyway .XX and X for Brian not Barry as you state or is that another one.?

That was an obvious typo because the subject is Barry Spoons, and clearly you do have a human identity which Susan M says you should reveal, but is it Ed Abovewater and is he PR under another name?.

i give up trying, really i do. who knows who is anybody any more?

One more time. I post using only the name above, clearly not my real name, which is Adrian Hopkins for anyone who is interested. I do not pretend to be anyone else, I am not PR, his wife, his dog, or any of the myriad of other identities that Mervyn and Mervyn alone would seek to attach to me. Google all you like, Mervyn you will be none the wiser. My non de plume is just a little seafaring joke, that's all.

It's just as meaningless a name isn't it? I doubt whether it would have stopped the speculation.

It was not the "Ed" name that raised my questions but the pro-Rusling-O'Rahilly comments that were posted using that name.

who is brian spoons if barry spoons is the one who wrote a now deleted comment about joe meek? Once again elsewhere an interesting thread gets deleted. Some of the posts were more accurate than fiction. The standard storyline of the origins of Radio Caroline is steadily getting dicected. One of the best cover-ups of the 20th century. Perhaps we should have updated list of all the key players are that is known so far? Scottg.

How do we know whether you are Scottg? Fred Bramley is trying to convince everyone that he is not Fred Bramley. On the other hand how do you know that I am the Hatchet Man' as either Freddie or Fred claims that I am?

Either the Spoons or Mike and Mervyn are Siamese Twins (is that still politically correct to say?), because there is a Barry and a Brian Spoons. If you look at the beginning of this thread you will see that this issue confused me because I initially thought there was one of them and that Brian was a mistake because he should have been Barry. But Barry is Barry and Brian is Brian - see there are two of them. Brothers? I don't know. Ask Mike and see if he knows.

Siamese no, conjoined yes. Siamese are cats according to the song.

The term 'Siamese twins' derives from Chang and Eng Bunker (1811–1874) who were the first pair of conjoined twins to become internationally known. The brothers were from Siam, hence the name. In their own country, as they had Chinese parents, they were known as The Chinese Twins.

scott is right the caroline thread disappeared on the garry place, so i thought that there would be more sense here but now its back to sillyness. please stop it.

The idea here is to amuse, inform, confuse, parody, paradise, placate and rip into the double standards of the anorak forum that likes to censor non correct thinking. Add in a little surrealism, the odd wild party, and the obvious message grenade and that's Now & Then. I disagree with plenty of things in the comments here, but I cannot have it both ways or all seven ways, let alone refuse Bus Nutters & Fiction Checkers.

Since I watch all of the boards, can anyone explain what this board is all about and why it is different from the other three?
Ed Abovewater
8/12/2019 07:49:45 pm
One is pro Caroline, one has very few posts, one is dead because no posts are permitted due to heavy censorship, one is a free for all where we all talk bollocks ad nauseum.

Cowboy Garry's great idea was to stable them all in one shed fulfilling his dream of segregation into a ghetto. That idea did not last. He realised and was worried their would be a single Stable in Bethlehem where wise men like us would travel to worship at the reborn.

I just went over to Garry's Board and now the 'NEW' site for all things Caroline which was created by Garry personally, seems to have already been deleted. Now a new thread called 'Music Man' is basically calling out PR for telling lies about the IOM station. Just below that is another new thread about banning! This is what it currently says because I suspect that the 'Music Man' thread will soon disappear, and this thread about banning has been locked by Gary. What a hypocrite this guy is turning into! This what he wrote:

Is it ok if I set up home here, I have been banned on the Pirate/Free Radio forum. Apparently disagreeing with a book due to it being an over priced train wreck, rammed full of typos, glaring errors and a copy and paste festival unsurpassed just isn't allowed

I think I'll move in too having also been banned from the Paul Rusling self promotion board for reasons unknown. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
