So, like I said, not much to report really, we'll just have to wait and
see where it all goes. But, don't hang on it thinking it's something
massive just around the corner.

Thanks Chris for taking the time to do that, I only thing i am concerned about is Anoraks being misled again,

On the Planet Caroline site under the link for Radio Caroline it does say, We will be announcing our new AM operating frequency in the near future !

But nowhere does it say this will be in New Zealand!!

Well they weren't lying, just not telling the whole truth!

I''ve got it! How about UK, Ireland and Malta? That way we stand a
reasonable chance – mind you, with their track record, the Irish would
probably still beat us hands down!

I doubt Ireland would beat us.

I think it was mission accomplished for them this year. I can just see the meeting at RTE before this years contest. How can we make sure we stand absolutely no chance of winning, therefore not bankrupting RTE by staging next years contest. Brainwave! Let's send a singing turkey! Brilliant!

Quoting a previous Richard Sharpe contribution:-

say, We will be announcing our new AM operating frequency in the near
future !

But nowhere does it say this will be in New Zealand!!

Ah, but equally neither does it say it won't be in New Zealand.

However, were there more singing puppets and it became a contest of
self-ridicule then I'd be back watching it and enjoying it.

Boom Boom!

Crikey! This evening's Whale show on Play Two was severely disrupted by connection problems. I am no expert on the infrastruture of the internet but it seems it was caused by serious issues at a place called LINX which is a major internet exchange in London, or was it part of a conspiracy to silence an outspoken broadcaster? I felt sorry for Matt who was obviously very uncomfortable that the station did not appear to be working in the presence of such a senior and high-profile personality. Whale seemed to take it all pretty much in his stride and was keen to reassure Matt that there really was no cause for concern.

Nothing surprises me nowadays with this paranoid government. I too tried to listen but disconnected after 30 minutes of buffering and drop outs. Whaley has upset the apple cart and goes against this government's brain washing sound bytes and spin that excuses themselves and portions the blame on the sorry state of this country with us. Five Live (Whatever it calls itself nowadays) is a typical platform for this brain numbing rubbish the Government want us all to lap up. Not that I agree with all Whale says, at least he speaks his mind. If you can see past his 'Devils Advocates' speil now and then you know what the man is all about. This is definately a guy who doesn't fit in to New Labours controls, these type of personalities and public platforms scare the New Labour Camp, it just doesn't CONFORM. You will comply or be criminalised / Silenced.

As Chris and some often say, talk style radio is the way to go, but in this country it won't work! I don't want to listen to convesations / topics about "What are you doing right now" or small talk about reality TV programmes, what celeb is in rehab, what style coffee is the latest fad or any other bland small talk programmes we are subjected to today.  Radio is far to restricted, even more so by this paranoid, control freak Goverment. That's what makes me laugh with those dreaming of going offshore again! Not with this Government you won't, they'll probably get you on some anti-terror charge as well as the MOA, WTA etc. You'll be followed out to sea, boarded, tasered and hauled off before the ships engines have emitted a tiny blot on the stations 'carbon footprint'.

Da Guff
