“Not sure if working, “
A radio’s a tricky beast to test, after all.
I mean you have to switch it on, turn the volume dial, tune in a station, that’s far too much trouble for the average human being to go through.
“but has extending ariel”
Managed to get past the first step then. And then got confused by a font.
Best not go any further.
Checking the tapedeck’s working would obviously sit somewhere between brain science and rocket surgery.
“Great for teenagers, who enjoy modern moving sound.”
Hey, less of the modern hip-talk daddio!
Although personally, I’d think an entirely silent radio would be ideal for teenagers.
“Item is sold as seen Spares of Repair if not working>”
Spares of repair. Not seen that one before.
Wonder what it means?

Meanwhile on Freecycle, these things come up by the dozen, usually with a non-working CD player attached.
Maybe Spares of Repair are the bits left over after the real hardware’s been fixed?
I wish I knew if the tapedeck was working, I’d like to be able to record the breakfast show on Gold radio tomorrow.
Around 7:45am.
So how did the interview go?
Well errr it was
errr
it was it was errr it was fine, really.
There was a fair bit cut out and a fair bit of rambling left in but seemed ok otherwise. Didn’t sound anything like me though.
They mentioned the site address a couple of times, which was nice. Site stats seem to have failed to have gone stratospheric as yet though, certainly nowhere near when we hit the B3ta newsletter.
Obviously old media is dead.
Or should that be ‘a bit broken’?
Very good. I’ll give it a listen when the listen-again thing is working properly.
I’d be interested in hearing this interview myself. Some time ago there was a picture of GigerPunk linked from Idiot Toys or Extra Last and he looked nothing at all like I expected him to. I’ll be disappointed if he also doesn’t sound like I expect. Or doesn’t not sound like I expect. Not sure which way I mean, but either way I’m preparing to be disappointed.
He’s a rather well spoken chap. Go here:

Click on the ‘launch live player’ link then, on the resulting popup, click on the listen again tab. Scroll down to the Paul Coyte breakfast thingummy and select the Paul Coyte (07/09/2011) link. Giger is about 01:44 into the show. The man on the radio calls him “Rob” though, which is a little disconcerting.
It’s also here, for those who don’t fancy trawling through an hour and three-quarters of easy listening music.
‘Props‘ go to Dick Socrates for grabbing it.
It’s real, it was in the real world…
“Up next, who is the best Lord?”
Cheers for that DS. Giger sounds remarkably like a normal person. Just shows how good he is at fooling his victims, really…
Well that wasn’t disappointing at all. Well spoken, indeed!
And of course it didn’t hurt that in a few places the interviewer sounded a bit like Basil Fawlty.
nice interview and you sound remarkably well-balanced and normal for an IT person working in local government in Wales :¬P
