I don't know about the rest of you but I think it's unprofessional that Cookie isn't told whether it's Roger who's taking over from him or someone else.
No reflection on Ian, it's not his fault and, yes, if I have to I will repeat this on FOBL.

You dare to challenge the BigL 'powers that be'
That'll be you finished on FOBL then! There could be a sudden, strange, forum problem and when it comes back the post will have accidentally disappeared. I have that twice. I was also removed on one of those occasions due to an 'unrelated forum issue'.
We all have opinions. Mine is mine, yours is yours. Don't tell me yours is mine. I think that I was wrong once, but then again, maybe I was wrong!!

I have a good mind to make the above posting on the thread about the "teatime slot" on there.

HA HA! No, I haven't.
Also though, it not only reflects badly on Cookie, but also on Danny when he gives out a menu of what's to come.
One thing I will say though, when Roger was appealing for cash on Monday, he said what it was for, in a short space of time a fair ammount of money was magic-ed up to cover the cost of the servers!
We've told them before, if they keep us in the dark, we can't help!

To be fair though, when I logged onto it earlier this afternoon before I went to Tearddur Bay in order to listen to Cookie, I didn't get any audio, I had to log on to the main Big L site to be able to listen, maybe it's something to do with that.

Our Poet Laureate aka Coastie it right. Due to a major hardware failure, we have been running on backup systems., hence stream and FOBL outages. Further outages of various services are likely as they are re-built/migrated onto the new hardware. Nothing sinister, just a lot of work to keep Roger busy.

What, is Roger actually asking his listeners for money. I have`nt visited the Big L forum for months so I dont know about this. Are people really donating the cash. If so why ? Its a bit like me asking for donations to help me keep my garden looking good. I know Roger Day asks for donations but he`s the only DJ on his station unlike Big L. I really dont understand the set up at this Big L.

I thought it was something like that, I remember Roger stating that there were problems with some hard drive or another on Monday afternoon.

Thanks Mike! I truly believe (no matter how misled I may be) that FREE radio, should be free in every way or meaning of the word. Some PC failiures etc. cost a small fortune- I have never made any money out of it, and probably never will! It costs me, and I lose money.... but money is NOT everything!
I like to think I am personally donating to a very small money losing piece of entertainment- that at least gives some people respite from the not so wonderful times we have today! I don't even do it for ego or self promotion - I have rarely had time to sit in front of a mic. over the past few years. It's ALL about having fun! Simple as that! and God bless Garry at RNI - he does it for the same reasons as I do!
yes.... there ARE some of us left!
Only thing I ask is support what both I and Garry at RNI do! Listen- and tell others, the more- the merrier! It puts a smile on everyone's face!
I must admit that I feel the same as 'Arfa----I own and pay for this site plus a few others, I bear the costs because I want to and because I was the nutter who set them up----I have been asked on numerous occasions [Alec will back me up] if I would accept cash to help pay and so far have refused because I believe that if I start something and then ask for donations then I should not have started it in the beginning----it's called "principles" and I have always stood by my principles. [painful but true] Regards from my hospital bed [free in the morning] Col.
