Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

Any thoughts on how we could celebrate this July? 

[R1Fan1]

Get that Q&A with Aled off the ground? 

[DC]

We can celebrate by giving out Jonos debit card pin number. You just have to hunt him down to get it off him and the prize is yours!

 

Seriously though I actually remember logging onto here when I was in 6th form on the computers in the morning about September 2004. I can't still quite get my head around the fact that it was 20 years ago. I never become proper active on here till early 2005 though. I was pissing about with computers at the time recording and stuff (no bbc sounds back then for you whippersnappers), and ended up recording a few celebrity calls for the archives and clipping bits and bobs for here which are still in the archives.

 

I was on here every single day back then, this was our social media for my generation. I was on here saying stuff I look back on at 35 nowdays and cringe at, sometimes I find genius and don't have the same quick brain anymore. Everyday I used to tune into Scott, Chopper and Laura and come onto here to discuss a radio show I almost knew like I was sitting there in the studio with them. Good times.

 

Ive gone on too long. Wheel me back into the care home.

I wonder if Scott would have @Jono on his show to play a special UM version of the birthday game? That could be fun

Last time I was on this forum the Tories had only just got into power and now it's slipping away from them. I told them to wake me up when this happened, didn't think it would be 13 years lost to hibernation...

Now this website is almost as old as I was when I first joined, wow! I'm now 40

I wonder if any of the other "Oldies"/OGs will make surprise reappearances? 

China is the traditional 20th anniversary gift, but what use is that to any of us?

I'm glad to see Jono and DC are still here, I've actually missed you guys.

Like a typical old person yes. I also no longer have access to the email address on the account either

Welcome back! I have an old blueyonder email address that logs me into stuff from 2006. Blueyonder is long gone and so is that email. Think it's still linked to my neglected MySpace that I haven't touched for many years.

I don't really do politics publicly, but I hope you are correct on them losing power. However I expect the mainstream media to start peddling the tory narrative soon, in the election buildup. The unthinkable shouldn't happen however nothing surprises me in the UK anymore.

I don't think Aled appreciated me reminding him I was doing work experience with his team about twenty years ago when I last saw him
