Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

sorry again mods! wrong bit, please move it down under :-(


I'll get a grip soon I promise!

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

Tut tut, you should know better ;-)

Hang on, it's in the right area I think!

10-4 on that, what's yer 20? I think a lot of people moved to msn and yahoo, etc. instead of CB radio. Some people still use it and it can come in handy. We will be having it set up again in the home and car, you never know when you need it!

Re: are forums the new CB radio

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

By the time we got into Tulsa-Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
An' them bears 'as wall to wall
Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear-in-the-air
I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck
We about to go a huntin' bear


classic lol :D

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

There is no replacement for CB radio.

How else could you spend all night driving around in a car scrounging brews of nice sounding young ladies only to find they are minging old slappers when you get there?

There were of course one or two exceptions (my wife included of course) that I best not mention on here :rolleyes: :eek: :D

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

Used to love going on the CB, I suppose the forums are a replacement to a degree.

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

Very true as you dont need a huge relay of bods to get a message from one end of the country to another.
:D

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

Come on tell us your handle? I was Metal Spoon, dont know why, I remember trying to think of one all afternoon and thats all I could come up with!:D

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

The change over from the Aunty Mary to the fm killed the CB. with the plankers and bucket mouthing teenagers.

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

CB? What? Taxis?

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

Oh i loved my cb radio .....my handle were honeycombe...so c,mon lets here a few more ...

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.

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

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

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

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.

Re: are forums the new CB radio
 

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

:)
