Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

One advantage the computer has over the CB, and I loved mine (pulled loads in those days) is the webcam, at least you can have a look at what you mighn't wake up with. Remember that Waylon Jennings song, "I never went to bed with an ugly woman but I sure woke up with a few".:D Best handle I ever handled was 'Black Sugar' from Clayton.

I would sometimes forget the old Cobra was still switched to 10 watts and set one of the neighbours house alarms of as soon as I keyed the mike. Funny for me - yes, at 3am funny for them - probably not :D :D :D

hee hee, times were fun. 4% of the users when I were on were very nice, attractive ladies. Didn't mind a brew from them!

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

When and who are you talking about? I used to get over to Burnley quite often. I lived their for a few years as well.

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

God, I can't remember now. The fun times were when I was 14 - 19 years of age, it's naff now.

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

I was living in Burnley about then.

I still have a few radios lying about, a Cobra 148 gtl dx fm and a couple of Hygain 5's ( I used to be a saddo who wrote my own eproms to add uk 40 to the sideband rigs and a few other tweaks as well ;)). Probably a couple of straight 40 and an 80 channel as well.

I think I’ve said this before in another thread about CB’s but my handle back in the pre 1984, or was it 82 not sure, was Rocking Robin from hanky town. :o

It is a co-incidence thou, how most of the ex CBers from those days now find them selves using forums, communications by one means or another must be Iin our blood. :D

Who was plant-pot with his powerful leson desk mike? he was very clean and green. hehe
