Cyber-bullying ... about radio, ffs?
The world of radio anoraksia on the web is a very cruel one. I’m guessing it’s probably no different to other subjects over which feelings run strong, but being a free-thinking radio anorak I do find it uncomfortable to watch the bullying. Sure, yes, I’ve had my fair share of being bullied for not toeing the line and keeping to the accepted truth on certain things to do with...

Chlorine and Horizontal Hail Stones
Not that the weather is confusing or anything, but there I was walking along the road. Suddenly, the already strong and buffeting icy wind decided it would bring with it some sleet, then hail stones, and then more sleet. Maybe there was a bit of rain in there as well. I’m not sure, but I know it was all travelling extremely fast and in a near horizontal plane and I got exceedingly wet. Fairly...

How Islamified is your country?
Recognise anything in the statistics described in this article? (By Dr. Peter Hammond:) Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In it’s fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamization begins when there are...

Radio anoraks and their false idols
History is only what the loudest or most intimidating historian says it is.  Rarely does history have any relationship to what actually happened.  This is very much the case with radio anoraksia, a love of the history of radio broadcasting.  It’s especially so for the innovative and new frontiers of pirate radio.  The players who actually were there and made history happen can be broken down into...

Christopher England according to Sterling Times
Sterling Times says: A bit like the "Three Face of Eve", there are three faces of Chris(topher) England.
Personality 1: is Anorak Chris(topher) who has wholly entered then whole spirit of Anorakdom as the "monarch" of the Anorak Nation.
Personality 2: is Minimalist Chris(topher) who hates the past and casts all of his memorability, physical and mental, in a skip in the Streets of Liverpool.
Personality 3: is Naughty Chris(topher) who doesn't really like or dislike anything but will do or say anything that causes a little upset.
Sterling Times concludes: I have to say that, notwithstanding his personality inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies, I rather like Chris(topher). He is bright and intelligent and must be one of the Devil's favourite advocates.
Christopher England asks: If an actor portrays a murderer, are they guilty of murder or guilty of acting? You are very close Mr Sterling. Number 3 but with slight objections to the word "upset". Regarding number 2, the skip was in London, but it wasn't driven by hatred, more by indifference. And then there's number 1. This is correct but for different and differing reasons, I fear. All speculation is overshadowed by your kind words of conclusion for which I can only sincerely offer you my gratitude and hope that you will continue to allow me to be part of your input and that I will not disappoint.
William Shakespeare comments: If we offend, it is with our good will. That you should think, we come not to offend, But with good will. To show our simple skill, That is the true beginning of our end.

Modern Jazz. WTF is it?
One Friday I found myself sitting on Albert Square, Manchester. There was a giant pyramid tent there. I was there inside the tent for about 3 hours, determined not to leave despite the ever increasing headache. Surrounded by lots of smiling people, young guys with pony tails, older fellows with beards, and lots of suede, corduroy and denim (and that’s just the women) I was watching a jazz...
