Today, 30th. November saw the launch of East Coast FM, the new local radio station for us mortals here in East Lothian. It is only a small operation but beautifully formed – as is East Lothian. The countryside round here is generally very thinly populated and boasts more sheep than people.

Reception on FM is rather limited. In fact I can’t get it here at base camp and we are only about 8 miles from the transmitter!

It’s the hills around here!

BUT everyone can get it on the Internet no matter where you are.

Hey, and listen to this – they have given me a slot every Saturday afternoon twixt 4.00 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. (G.M.T.)

My show is to be called A.M. in the P.M. and I will be playing Golden Oldies and doing a bit of the old reminiscing. So, if you’ve figured in my past, you may get a mention or two.

We have incorporated East Coast FM’s logo below and on the right of the page. Just left click on it and tune in.

My first ‘appearance’ will be on Saturday 12th. December.
I hope I can rely on you to be listening in.
I will remind you nearer the time.
You bet I will!!

Cheers,

Andy

Five Catholic friends were enjoying a coffee in a bistro after a meal.

The first Catholic man tells his friends, “My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him ‘Father’.”

The second Catholic man chirps, “My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him ‘Your Grace’.”

The third Catholic man says, “My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says ‘Your Eminence’.”

The fourth Catholic man says, “My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him ‘Your Holiness’.”

Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men gave her a look and said, “Well….?”

She proudly replies, “I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38 Double D breasts, 24″ waist and 34″ hips. When she walks into a room, people say, “Oh My God..”

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Whose idea was it to put an “S” in the word “lisp”?

What is the speed of darkness?

Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up every two hours?

Are there specially reserved parking spaces for “normal” people at the Special Olympics?

If the temperature is zero outside today and it’s going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Did you ever stop and wonder……
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?”

Who was the first person to say, “See that chicken there… I’m gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it’s bum.”

Why do toasters always have a setting so highthat could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
(There is one in mine! – Andy)

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don’t point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs !

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Stop singing and read on…….

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

What a dreadful year 2009 has been.

My favorite solo artist Michael Jackson died, then my favorite actor Patrick Swayze died.

Then to top that, my favorite t.v. chef Keith Floyd, died as well.

I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that my favorite band of all time is Oasis.

Hi,

It’s that time of the year again.

I need a small favour… If it’s not too much trouble. I wouldn’t ask this if you were not such a good friend.

I am going away on vacation and I need a friend to come over to water my plants while I’m gone.

The plants are mostly geraniums and begonias. In the hot weather they’ll probably need water twice a day.

I’ll only be gone for a week .
I’ve attached a photo for your reference.
I’ll send you a post card, OK?

Thanks so much…

Gordon
