What would you download with the £1 my tory chums have ensured that you are better of with.
Of course you could take that £1 to paolo and place it on the likely SPL Champions this season and with the return have £1.02 to squander.....
Or buy 25 penny chews....
I would download from Aye Right Choons:
ReplyDeleteErland & The Carnival - 'Trouble In Mind'
No reason other than it's a jolly sounding song ☺
I thought downloads were free
ReplyDeleteFree downloads are free.
DeleteFreedom tastes of reality
DeleteLet's call the whole thing of
DeleteHalleluja Freedom!
Delete.. and ripping, it's more than simply recording the audio.
ReplyDeleteThe key aspect of ripping is disambiguation. When ripping songs from any source, the songs should be split into separate tracks or files, and the songs should be tagged.
Otherwise, you are simply recording or dubbing the audio. Errr GIO, £1, no chance!
Who needs Jim frae Erskine ;-0
ReplyDeleteDoes he still contribute to the show that dictates the medium to choose the music?
I still regret the erse-skin gag.
Delete.. opposed to the "Aras...cain" gag?
ReplyDeletethank you G_B for your nice comment....

When's the autobiography .. on second thought don't answer that
Deletenae bother, team G_B must stick together
DeleteSeen risk
ReplyDelete.. of JfE making a comeback? Jeez, didn't consider that!
DeleteNo wonder Henri's not blogging here - he's asking for Queen over-by.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry, HH, never noticed you there.
And where's Adam, is he walking back to Rio?
He's no is he???
ReplyDeleteYou tell lies thinking I can't see.
ReplyDeleteIt's as well I'm not so easily cast down. Using his given name Bob, he asked for Smiths, Abba and Queen.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you, Henri?
Returning from the RAH 90's Retro Kid turned on the radio .. I can confirm there wuz nae Queen fur Oor 'enri but Abba .. can ye guess which one
ReplyDeleteGimme a man after midnight?
DeleteFernando, okay?

DeleteI gave them yet another chance to play The King Has Lost His Crown but they squandered the opportunity in favour of yon song we're sick to death of hearing.
They missed a lot of good shouts tonight. Familiarity over something less heard and maybe better? All very subjective. But it's becoming a very unadventurous program. So - a late converter to the general opinion here. (Daren't try to spell consensus - always get it wrong and someone always picks me up on it)
DeleteGood grief not you too?
DeleteWelcome to our world M-D
Deleteoh the RAH, happy memories.....hey, wait a minute - they have Radio Scotland in London? - Radio Scotland a 'national disgrace' -see today's Herald. Better news though, it also reported that 'Scientist backs discovery of Higgs boson in capital', which should be a boost for tourism. Wonder where they'll display it?
ReplyDeleteand *sigh* just because they didn't play Queen for Henri doesn't mean he didn't ask for it - this may be the programme where etc but they don't always play what people ask for. Imagine.
Relax M.D. good grief was in shock and awe at Scotch's confession ;-)
DeleteSorry to disappoint Gaie .. Paisley's General Hospital so reception wasn't an issue :-)
In the early days of an independent Scotland you may glimpse Bryan and Miss Babs in a tumbrel as they head for indefinite incarceration on the Bass Rock.
Deletewell, I specifically asked them not to play the worst recrod ever made - they didn't, which is a kind of success.
DeleteBy the way, I figured out that if we all go onto ***book and leave long blog type posts, they pay more attention - also, we might get the new regulars to join in - that would be interesting..
Master of spin .. apologies if the present incumbents bore you!

DeleteAh, yes. It begins with a toe in the water. "Och, it'll no' dae ony harm!"
The first step on the awful seduction of the DARK SIDE!
>8-D
That'll be tough on the gannets, listening to that awful laugh and wondering if they'll be roasted up with herbs and parmesan for dish of the day.
DeleteLook to the positives .. it might rid the rock of it's rodent infestation issues.
DeleteCan't they be exiled somewhere on the West, North or South? I can take a minute's walk from my house and see the Bass Rock...far too close to me! On a calm day that cackle might travel for miles!
ReplyDeleteI can see the Bass fae my window and have sailed round the Rock twice in the past month. The gannets are still there so Miss B cannae have taken root............... yet
DeleteOn the plus side, they were needin a new foghorn

DeleteThis is what happens to contributors who have the utter temerity to deliberately split an infinitive.
Be warned!
"Say, boy, two half nuthins is a whole nuthin!"

Here's a question that's gone unanswered .. why do most big women have a distinctive laugh and are often referred to as having a bubbly personality?
ReplyDeleteIs the Bass Rock big enough?
Ailsa Craig is lying doing nothing!
ReplyDeletenot on your life! what about the gannets there, puffins, kittiwakes, et al? what about me at Kelburn enjoying a happy hour on a horse when suddenly unseated as the horse takes fright at an eldritch screech from over the water?
DeleteI suppose there'e possibilities for mining curling stones without need for explosives, but hey, I'm not a curler and there must be places further away. What about Gruinard?
DeleteHappy Hour on a horsie? What kind of bars do you frequent?
just a regular sort of bar

DeleteYon leather chaps look rather snug...

If islands are ruled out, what about encasing them in glass and burying them along with other toxic waste?
ReplyDelete.. along with Ricky Ross, yon lassie who's now in River City, Craig & Charlie, Annie Lennox and Roddy Frame.
Deletesend it down to Tate modern, entitled 'a National Disgrace' and await Turner prize.
DeleteRIP Hal David. One half of one of the all time great song writing partnerships.
ReplyDelete"Walk on By" being the masterpiece imho.
Ably covered by The Stranglers IMHO.
DeleteThe Isaac Hayes version is the daddy imho (that's the single version at 4:33, rather than the 12:02 version from Hot Buttered Soul).
DeleteGabrielle (she of the eye patch) does a terrific version, too.
DC, were you called upon to help out at Pittenweem today, only witnessed a stranding once .. a most horrible experience.
ReplyDeletejust read about it - what a strange and awful thing to happen.
DeleteI saw the "ok" pod from my living room first thing about half a mile from my house. It wasn't until later that we knew of the strandings. I went along for a look and it was like a fairground, hundreds of people, traffic cops etc. I got a wee look over the cliff and saw the carnage. Sad indeed.
DeleteApparently the ok group are still off Cellardyke but I haven't seen any sign of them since midday.
My nephew is one of the lifeboat crew who has been involved almost all day.
Meanwhile...
ReplyDelete"Once again, by far the most popular request is Hurricane by Bob Dylan but we won't be playing it" even although it is by far the most popular request on the programme where you choose the music.
Nobody does B&D like Dionne Warwick. The peak of popular music.
ReplyDeleteAye, Black & Decker is always best for the odd job about the house!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it merits the exclamation mark.
DeleteOf course it does Mr Derek .. Ha, Ha, Ha, Boom! Boom!
DeleteThis Basil. This smack on head.
DeleteNever mind Hal David. what about our Max?
ReplyDeleteAnd his classic song
In Wily Nily an-a-struther that's a whale an boggin by the sea
Sad news about comedian Dickie Heart
ReplyDeleteAnd not a mention for Keith Moon's more reserved cousin Sun Myung.
ReplyDeleteMadmac, this might be of interest?
ReplyDeleteThanks Gaie, I assume it'll be on I-player so I'll check it out after the broadcast.
ReplyDeleteIt was the 3rd of september......
ReplyDeleteRe this whale thing - first it was the swan and now this!! Is Pittenweem-Anster-Cellerdyke a Bermuda Triangle for critters??
ReplyDeleteI think the labster bait DC uses in his creels could be the problem.
See Anster?
DeleteCan nae see green cheese
nah, it's him playing Ummagumma full volume, got their sonar all in a fankle
ReplyDeleteWish you were here, no thanks!
DeleteSteer clear of Anstruther Fish Bar for a few days
ReplyDeleteWhale meat again,
ReplyDeleteDon't know where,
Don't know when.......
Expect a new "Marine Mouthful of the Month" at Yo Sushi
ReplyDeleteYep, they'll pilot on
ReplyDeleteHaw Gaie hen, do you tweet or use f*c*book when you get a mention?
ReplyDeleteJust askin caws I heard your name on the show when I was driving back fae the Co-op.
It looks like a difficult theme tonight: Your favourite CD. That's quite a challenge for folk, especially when ye have tae out-do everybody with news o' what yer havin for yer tea.............
tweet tweet.
DeleteI've only sent a handful - up until now I've only had that dismissive 'so and so asked for' and no intention of playing it - I hate that, play the song or don't, but don't throw me crumbs. Though to be fair, of the handful, most have been of the Gong variety just to be annoying - I know, I can't imagine who I think I'm annoying either.
Ainster Co - Filet de Pilot on special
ReplyDeleteEnough to have one reduced to a blubbering wreck....
