Coastal Aussie – I am so pleased you liked it too – yes it is very funny! Just back from holiday and heading towards my first operation on Monday 11th – so fingers crossed it works…. thank you for your thoughts!!

Jay – Ah the memories – brilliant aren’t they – I found my ‘tranny’ the other week and guess what – it still works…… can’t find Caroline or London on it now though – think its lost its memory???

Hi, just wanted to say I saw the film and really really enjoyed it. I, my Mum, and the whole audience laughed out loud in various places throughout the film. And I am downloading the sound track as I type. I can't remember the character's name, but that larger bloke kept cracking me up. Hope you're well, are your elbows out of action at the moment? Thinking of you. Coastal Aussie´s last blog post..365: everyone feels small, sometimes

Oh! The pirate radio stations!! That does bring back some memories.

At school, we were divided into two factions, those that listened to Radio Caroline, and those that favoured Radio London. I was firmly in the Radio Caroline camp and one of the enduring memories of my teenage years is lying in bed with my tiny, tinny little tranny clamped to my ear so that parents wouldn’t hear it, listening to Johnny Walker. He would always end his programme by playing Percy Sledge’s ‘Warm and Tender Love’, and say a very sweet goodnight to us all.

I would never sleep until I’d heard it!

I wanted to see this film, but the reviews on tv gave it a bad wrap, I still thought it’d be worthwhile though, and now I really want to see it, after reading your blog post. Sounds like it will have a cracking good soundtrack too.

Ah but do you still get the crackles – just for authenticity you understand!

You can buy one of those special decks that digitises all your vinyl via USB, not very expensive. gitwizard´s last blog post..French Connection - Day 1

Hi Barbara – I just wish I was good with gardens – I seem to kill things off with kindness I think – although the raised bed is looking better now. My lovely late Mum always ‘did’ the garden….

Git wizard – I know – sometimes I wish I still had a record player – just for the crackles…. silly isn’t it? Got loads of records and nothing to play them on now.

I used to love listening to Radio Caroline, even though the sound quality was awful. We're spoilt in these days of FM, Dolby, Digital, Internet Radio, etc, but saying that, I still endure and love listening to Radio 5Live in prehistoric AM. gitwizard´s last blog post..French Connection - Day 1

Interesting to have your 'take' on this film. I certainly remember when pirate radio began here on that ship. Thanks for visit and comments. The reason we keep thinking of taking the tree down is because during Summer it begins to shed its leaves early and look very forlorn b ecause of it's old age. The birds love it so it will prob0ably stay as long aspossible. I had a peep through your window at your patio garden. Barbara´s last blog post..Blessings in the Post

I didn’t think I would enjoy it – but we went on a Tuesday and it was obviously a quiet night – there were only 8 people watching this film. DVD could take a long while DP…. are you sure you are that miserable???? It’s worth doing ….honest!!!
