Heh, I recall (allegedly) driving the getaway vehicle after the somewhat
eccentric operator of Weed FM plastered that monstrosity with flyposters.
I do hope this unfortunate statue riding episode wasn't associated with its
proximity to the famous Cains Real Ale brewery and pub, young Christopher?

Egads, I fucking well hope so. We certainly need it around these parts.

Got a link to these plans, Chris?
City tried a talk station years ago, it didn't work then and I don't reckon
it'll work now.
BBC Merseyside is mostly talk stylee radio already, with nor a lorra
listeners.
The Pete Price phone in on City seems to consist of stupid people calling to
see if they can call Pete a "puff" before they get cut off by the delay;
which is mildly amusing at first, but after the 10000th attempt becomes a
little tedious.
Oh great, more of that on my radio. I can hardly wait…

Personally I think it is a disgrace that EMAP have gained yet another

As a "soft Southerner" I have to say I love Liverpool having spent a lot of time there jobwise (Royal Infirmary to be precise).

I reckon Steve is an Evertonian cos if he supported Liverpool he wouldn't be on here!!

Just one thinh Steve ... did you go to Eton or Harrow soft lad ?!!!
