Favourite "SIBC Moment"...

Is there any story inparticular that you recall hearing on SIBC and thinking "Dat wid only ever be on da wireless in Shetland"?

 

Although not a news item, I think my personal favourite is the unscheduled "item-getting-stolen-from-the-garden" interruption.

 

(P.S. I should point out that this thread is in no way supposed to be knocking SIBC, which I know has it's detractors, but I think Ian and Co. do a fantastic job.)

For me it is the bits about when some boat was last in the harbour, the colour it was, the last time it visited under a different name, the size of the captain's underpants, who the boat belonged to before, where it has been, why is floats.....

 

Who gives a ........?

and sometimes when you are listening to SIBC in the background of your brain, you hear a "message" and you go "WHAT?" and he keeps burbling on. The chicks and cocks moment was one that left me gob-smacked.

 

I love those. Rare but worth every penny.

Kinda difficult to forget one News bulletin when part ways through there was very audibly the sound in the background of doors being opened/closed and some toddler babbling away, which went on for a minute or so....

 

Proof positive of a real "kitchen table" enterprise, or what.... :lol:

I rather like the way he says things like "The Hjaltland decided not to sail" when talking about ships and weather. Sort of gets me trying to imagine the ship taking one look at the weather and saying "no way will you get me out in that!.

Two things - the productive coughing through the news announcement. I keep waiting for the spitoon moment - ting!!

 

The look on the face of any visitor that I invite up hearing SIBC for the first time. Every single one of them has asked if it is a wind up as they stare incredulously at the radio.
