Who remembers the Chrysalis days with the woman who used to screech 'LBCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'?

Sorry may I ask which thread it was merged with? Not the LBC Politics thread?

The 'Discussion' thread that emerged a few days ago ... Lots of duplicate posting going on ... The 'Politics' thread is still there

Let normal service resume .... Or perhaps not

Petrie's show today was as bad as anything I have ever heard on LBC. She shouted for three hours, clearly did not know much about her chosen topics, butted in with ill-informed comments and much much more utter rubbish. She is a total embarrassment to the station.

I have just read part 30 of the thread and saw Birdboy's comments, I didn't know what I did and I didn't know there was a rule that says that some posters aren't allowed to reply to others.

What this the same poster who said that being homosexual was "not normal" or am I thinking of another one?

The very same poster.
Now I know why he doesn't like me as he thought I was gay (he asked me twice!).

Perhaps he was looking for 'a friend'.

Yes seems like he thought so.

I think her rough voice is due to her still recovering from illness but
at least she has laid her cards on the table regarding the EU referendum.

Nailing her flag on Nigel's mast it appears...

I've just noticed the poster that has just gone missing was expounding over La Hopkins. He reckoned her output was likely to be 'tongue-in-cheek'. A moot point. Regardless, she still manages to make the most grossly offensive comments in print which is enough, and too much, imo.

Not surprised in the least. "Birds of a feather, Like calls to like", etc.

It was awful. She had certainly done little or no research on ADHD and just carried on shouting nonsense. If anyone phoned in with actual facts or experience she just shrieked over them and then resorted to the "old faithful".....I have a friend who used to take Ritalin. My job was teaching and assessing children with the condition and I had to turn her off as her ignorant rant was really uncomfortable.

That's because there is no such rule! Ignore any bird brained comments and carry on, Connor.

I think a point was being made ....

Talking of Steve, his Twitter account makes me laugh for all the wrong reasons. He obviously can't type or use the functions properly and was trying to message someone but doesn't know how to DM.

I thought I was bad with technology

Yes, talking of Steve I loathed him the other morning. Half asleep having left on the radio overnight, I was drowning in my dream. Yes, I was submerged in water within the bowels of a ship . Was I grateful to read g-s's post that morning, he'd been talking about the Titanic.

If your radio runs off the mains, then put a plug timer on. Mine switches itself off about 1am (I tend to be asleep when that happens), and on again at 7am (and then I fall back to sleep again!). If you run on battery power you must either get through a lot of batteries or keep recharging them!

My new DAB runs off the mains. I haven't fiddled about with it because my cat does! He likes to hang on the thin dangly aerial which I now hook up out of reach, but he still finds it, then it doesn't function - loses time. This was supposed to be a new piece of sophisticated techie in my house. The black beastie/moggie so far ridicules my feeble attempts of updating anything. He does like to involve himself.

Is it a thin wire dangly aerial, rather than a stiff rod that is fixed to the radio ?

Ban the cat from your room, or attach a 1000v charge to the aerial. He won't touch it again

Yes, it's thin, dangly and plastic coated. The ideal cat toy, but he won't play with his own.

Thanks for your earnest advice of banning the four-footer from my room, however he thumps his paws on the door having tried it before. There's no peace for the wicked.
