spencey7 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 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.)

Styles Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I like the way that to fill up some time they speak totally in boreing depth about a subject, such as all the wikipideia entry on killers whales, just because a killer whale is seen in shetland etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOYAANISQATSI Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Why does he insist on calling the charlatans, the Charlette Annes.The music might be half ok but the presentings awful, worse than Chris Moyles even, if thats possible.

Styles Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Just minded about that one about the flaps.Do go on... It was about some planes or somthing like that and he kept on going on about big flaps opening and closeing, it was so funny, you thought he must have done it on purpose.

Frances144 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 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 ........? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sludgegulper Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 What ever happened to the "sea temperature at Wadbister Voe" reports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifi Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Why does he insist on calling the charlatans, the Charlette Annes.The inventive pronunciations are great. I loved Anglian Monarchhhh. And Satchy Mackay sounded like some bloke fae Govan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 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!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 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.

Strawb Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Why does he insist on calling the charlatans, the Charlette Annes. And he always insisted that Cerys Matthews from Catatonia was called Cerise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
