The "OFF AIR" Thread! (off-topic /general banter)

    Hi folks,

    At the suggestion of a regular user of the forum, we've decided to put up an "Off Air" thread.

    This is so that the little community that's building up here on the Radio forum can have a place to chat, get stuff off your chest and generally mess about without having to specifically be on the topic of radio (although you can talk radio here if you want).

    It's a similar idea to the off-topic threads you'll find on other forums (fora?) ... e.g.: photography, pro wrestling, etc.

    So... go for it... knock yerselves out :)

    Enjoy!

    Good idea this. People always think this forum is too negative. Well now we can get to know each other.

    If we lose to Slovakia tonight we're as good as out of contention for Euro 2012.

    We had a poll in work today of 3 people - one said we'd lose, one said we'd win, and the other claimed we'd have a draw.

    I didn't go to paddypower.com straight after :(

    :D

    Yeah but reeling in the years some times.............. naaaaaaaah it's always good. <3 reeling in the years.

    I just realised it's a bank holiday next week. I hate bank holidays because the radio sucks ass. All the good djs have a day off.

    it'll happen to you Fago! one day ,soon, when you don't feel any different to the way you feel now, someone will say something like "I don't remember, I wasn't born till 2010" and you'll feel the cold hand of time on your shoulder.

    And now you're doing it yourself, Fago!

    I know the rules are a little more lax on this thread, but that just refers to the topic of conversation needing to be about radio, really... everyone stop suggesting that other people should be banned (even in jest!) and we'll be grand, thanks ... :)

    BTW... TOM JONES AND MICHAEL FLATLEY ON THE LATE LATE TONIGHT... ZOMG!!!
