h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

my launchcast radio station at http://launch.yahoo.com/lc/?rt=0&rp1=0&rp2=1783173058 I'm trying to set up a shoutcast station on my PC, but it's getting to be a pain in the ass to set up, so I may settle with doing a podcast from my PC

That'll be awesome!
Last year a couple of my mates got together some transmitters or something and hijacked the airwaves here to make their own station. It was loads of fun, until the radio station whose airspace they hijacked called the police, etc, in!

ohh, the best one is when you're in an ambulance and suddenly instead of control you get some dumb ass playing crappy dance music

In an ambulance, hell!

It's always good fun to no longer be able to send and recieve radio signals

Disrupting ambulance radio can't be good.

But your own station type thing sounds interesting.

My stepdad was in the CCF when he was at school. He persuaded them to re-open an old communications room, with loads of transmitting equipment and stuff, and then went in one evening and started transmitting rubbish over the same frequency as Radio 1 - he managed to keep it up for about half an hour before someone worked out where the signal was coming from and called the school

That's the problem - they find these things too quickly!

My grandpa's an amateur radio dude.

Sounds like fun.

Yeah, it is.

Something I must add to my list of things to do before I die.

I have one of those

I'm not the only one!!!

What else do you have on yours?

Kiss a complete stranger

Watch a sunrise with someone else

Abandon a job without giving any notice

Save someone else's life (hope to achieve this when I get my job as an ambulance technician soon)

Tell a friend how much they mean to me and how much I care about them (done that)

Tell someone I love them (done that too)

Hmmm...that's quite a list Joe.
I've done some of those too... watched plenty sunrises and sunsets with my mates, but there's 1 person in particular who I want to watch them with...
And one thing people do not do often enough is tell others how much they love them and care about them...I'm going to do that now...

That's not the entire list, that's most of it. Most of the rest is too private for h2g2

When I did the telling friend how important she is thing, she was very pleased, and it felt rather nice I wanna do it again... trouble is, there isn't anyone else who I respect enough to say that to...

Some good things on your list, Joe.

Think it's good to keep a few to yourself though too. Or at least only share them with someone you really really trust.

I told that person how much I love them...
I'll do it again...

that person's phone was probably off when you tried to tell them
