Prince Albert?I only get Andrew. Can you suggest words to use on a google search?

Thanks. I'm still just getting the same one but not seeing any evidence of crime. It depends whether the uniformed boys were under aged really.
We all tuned in to Radio Luxembourg at 11.00pm on Sunday night to hear the NME Top Twenty played. 208 on the medium wave, if I recall correctly. Many of the presenters were resident there (Pete Murray certainly was for a while).
Since when was the left not part of the establishment?Despite the Mirror posing as a left of centre daily, we’ve seen it’s fawning coverage of the queen over the last week or so. It’s as firmly a part of the establishment as Starmer’s Labour Party. As such, it would not have carried such a potentially explosive allegation against the Windsors without robust clearance by its lawyers, and evidence to back its claims if called upon to do so. Therefore I’m willing to give it credence, rather than it just being yet one more of the wild conspiracies that abound online. It demonstrates, to me at least, that it’s not simply a bad apple here and there, but the whole apparatus stinks to high heaven.
Are you guys not a little bit into cheap conspiracy ?
My wife works for the Mirror. Unfortunately, they have to sell a few newspapers for them to survive and my wife to keep her job.Despite the Mirror posing as a left of centre daily, we’ve seen it’s fawning coverage of the queen over the last week or so.
I liked the way the sound used to drift in and out as well, quaint. Well it did on my brothers Roberts turntable radio anyway. Wonder if Chas was a listener... he liked the Goons !We all tuned in to Radio Luxembourg at 11.00pm on Sunday night to hear the NME Top Twenty played. 208 on the medium wave, if I recall correctly.

Are you guys not a little bit into cheap conspiracy ? The only one who speaks clearly is @Joe Hutch. By all means, if you are so sure about the culpability of someone, cough up the name and stand by your accusation. Otherwise just shut up.
And don’t forget that googling for a specific ‚truth‘ until you find some other bloke at the other end of the world who happened to write something similar to what you think, does never represent a proof. This is the way conspiracy theories are created.
Really must get this book. I'm old enough to remember de Manio on Today, to which I've listened all my life.*As a complete aside, the former BBC presenter Jack de Manio took credit for the success of David Jacobs. Jacobs was reading out some religious announcement, and de Manio thought he looked so holy that he took a turntable mat and placed it on his head as a halo, causing Jacobs to burst out laughing on air, for which he was subsequently fired. This was the start of a lucrative freelance DJ career.
This is all detailed in a wonderful book by de Manio, called To Auntie with love, in which de Manio details many of the howlers that have happened in the BBC. The greatest is de Manio's own on the night of Nigerian independence. All he had to do, on the stroke of midnight, was to announce a radio programme The land of the Niger. Unfortunately he came into the studio from the local, slightly the worse for wear, and read the announcement, only to be confronted by the producer looking worried and saying, "Shouldn't that have been 'Niger?"? Meanwhile, in Lagos, the BBC's man on the spot really was on the spot...
Didn't David Jacobs come back to the BBC as a R2 presenter in later life? 90s ish I'm sure that he had a show at some point there.As a complete aside, the former BBC presenter Jack de Manio took credit for the success of David Jacobs.

I think he returned as a freelance, not as a BBC employee. It was the same with Jack de Manio.Didn't David Jacobs come back to the BBC as a R2 presenter in later life? 90s ish I'm sure that he had a show at some point there.
Some of the stuff is hilarious - such as creeping up on a colleague who was reading the radio news and setting fire to the bottom of his page. The colleague was then was faced with the unenviable choice of beating out the fire (and therefore making a dreadful noise on air), or reading very quickly. De Manio claims that this produced some of the fastest news reading in history.Really must get this book. I'm old enough to remember de Manio on Today, to which I've listened all my life.*
*Some on here even think I present it.
Sunday night show around 10 00pm ... early 2000 - 05 perhaps ?Didn't David Jacobs come back to the BBC as a R2 presenter in later life? 90s ish I'm sure that he had a show at some point there.
