Popular Post T-Dog Posted July 31 Popular Post Share Posted July 31 Got into a bit of a situation last year, the police got involved. I know there's 3 sides to every story, I'm fine with that. Well, months later, months without my phone, a number charges that could have ruined my life, 2 police officers that seemed hellbent on getting a prosecution out of nothing, one horrendous black eye (mine, nobody else's) and a day in Magistrates court... All charges dropped. 9 months of hell, and I mean literally falling off the planet completely, not so much because of the other people involved, but because of the way the whole thing was dealt with, and now life is back to normal again. **** right that cheers me up. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that sounds awful. Sorry you had to go through it in the first place. Hope you can quickly put the stress and any resentment behind you and start living properly again. Good for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a situation I should have walked away from (well, I did at first, but then went back) - I take responsibility for my actions, and I'll be very wary about ever trusting the Police and their processes ever again. Sometimes you need the big incidents in your life just to get things back on track again, and I'm cool with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Have just discovered Boom radio and am thoroughly enjoying it. Older djs no yapping over records and some quality tunes esp the ones I'd forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In never listen to radio, and I'm automatically sceptical about that sort of station, fearing the worst excesses of Tony Blackburn et al. But I just had a look at their playlists, and I must admit it's not bad. Still don't need it, but if I was forced to listen to a radio station, it looks like jt would be a lot more bearable than most. EDIT: Actually, no, scrub that, I just had a listen. It's got adverts, jingles and David Hamilton. The odd good record isn't worth it. Back to Spotify playlists for me.

Seat68 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I had a drive back from Manchester last year after seeing The Delgados and wanted something completely different to listen to, so put Boom on. I liked it, not enough to have it on in the house but musically it was fairly good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been tuning in to Caroline for about a year, apart from they only seem to have the same 6 ads and an unholy obsession with the Schmeatles, they play some great stuff.

choffer Posted August 2 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2 Tax rebate? Thank you very much. Second year in a row. I guess it means they’ve screwed up again but if it’s in my favour, I’ll proceed straight to “go” and collect my money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tonyh29 Posted August 9 Popular Post Share Posted August 9 (edited) Been on Americas naughty step for around 6 years due to visiting a majority of the countries on their Axis of evil list went to the US embassy on Weds to try again for a visa , the immigration officer was very smiley seemed friendly , did get a Roger Moore style raised eyebrow when I mentioned a second visit to North Korea but still I thought it went well , definitely more friendly than previous interviews .. the lady said they needed to do a little more administration on my application and be in touch , I then got handed another Visa rejection letter to add to the collection. They've just emailed me to say my visa has been approved , was talk off a lads do there that went on hold the last few years as I couldn't go , finally I'm not longer the bad guy holding it up Edited August 9 by tonyh29 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 First home game of the season, so meeting up with friends and talking absolute shite for a couple of hours. With obvious sympathy and soothing words for the one that writes the programme and managed to give us a team consisting of Evan Press twenty times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
