About Anorak Nation:

We are a collective ('Nation') of enthusiasts ('Anoraks') of gadgets, boys toys, technology, new media and communication, especially real radio – free radio born of the pirate radio stations.

If you are an early adopter, putting all your cash into the purchase of the next big thing in technology, a collector and lover of gizmos old or new, then you've found your home.

It's also your home if you're tired of bland, boringly presented, syndicated radio stations run by a badly programmed computer, playing the same few auditorium tested songs over and over again.
 
Centred on our Discussion, Anorak Nation offers feeds of UK broadcasting and new technologies news, debate and lively exchanges of views and more.

Remember: You cannot see the current poll, start a message or reply to others unless you are logged-in.

Contact anorak-admin@anoraknation.com if you need any help.

Re: BANNED!

Christopher probably uses that name because then people will know who it is from RFM. If Johnnie walker came onto forums using the name Peter Dingley, not everyone would know... (Mouse Mouse)

Re: I'm a PC and I'm a Mac (Let's get together and Par-Tee !!)

Pregnant is when you are not fat yet, but the baby is there, really pregnant is when you are also fat. What happens if you are already fat? Fattert han you are normally. (Mouse Mouse)

Re: I'm a PC and I'm a Mac (Let's get together and Par-Tee !!)

Re: BANNED AGAIN!

Truly unfair. Just because you have views, and others have views, they cant ban you from a forum. (Mouse Mouse)

Your truth free from fear

- no anorak victims here!

"The big difference between Anorak Nation and the many other anoraky boards is that the discussion can get into the finer details of subjects 'cos there's a lot of experts, good ideas and wonderful experiences being shared.

It's all with a good sense of fun, friendship and respect.

Most importantly Anorak Nation has none of the gratuitous bullying and victimisation that other places allow or encourage."
