What is hacking you off today?

[londonblue]

The firm I am contracting at currently require me to be in Canary Wharf two days a week.

It looks like they are changing to three days a week and we are moving to Moorgate.

Sadly the market is extremely quiet at the moment otherwise I would already have left.

That's a pain.

 

[Mad Cyril]

That's a pain.

I rejected a 10% rate cut for a fully remote role a few weeks ago. I wish I had taken it now.

Another jolly up at our expense to the care home in D.C

The radio show I present has been suspended due to a noise complaint. I wouldn't mind if we were being rock 'n' roll but we were playing the music through the cans so it would have only been our conversation that the sensitive soul heard.

Where do you record the show?

It's a live show which goes out from the Coast FM studios in Penzance: -> https://www.coastfm.co.uk/

Really odd that the studio has no soundproofing. Is it recorded late at night?

I have a little experience in this and genuinely interested how its possible to hear you loud enough to make a complaint.

Were there any other complaints about other shows?

There is sound-proofing, Matt, but the problem is it's so darn hot in there at this time of year that we needed the window open last Sunday evening and also a fan on to spread the fresher air around. Even with that, I still had to dry my neck with a towel every now and then.

The show goes out between 8-10 p.m. I understand the complainant works early on a Monday morning. Like us, he probably had his window open but I'm really surprised how he was bothered by our conversations between tracks unless the fan somehow propelled the sounds straight into his bedroom.

I haven't heard about any complaints from other shows but most of the DJ's on the station now broadcast from home and the studio windows will be shut then and the sounds from the studio will be at zero levels. I'm not tech-proficient enough to broadcast from home so it's not an option for me.

Ah nightmare.

Hope a suitable solution can be found

Rob, just a suggestion but maybe reach out to some of the Radio Caroline DJ's. They might be able to give you a few pointers regarding broadcasting from home.

Take your pick from the Presenter Profiles but I reckon Stephen Foster or Terry Hughes might be your best bet.

Making a small donation towards the dry dock appeal for Ross Revenge might help.

Like I said, just a thought.

Have you considered 'settling the matter out of court'?

Thanks, Al. I didn't realise there was a Radio Caroline broadcasting again.

Thanks, Matt. Had a chat with the landlord of my local which is also a music pub. We're going to do a show there at our regular time and he'll record it, then we'll put it out via a Mixcloud podcast the week after. We'll go back to the station in October (if they'll have us back) when we won't have to have the windows open.

Ah good news!

I know it's all relative, but it's not as scary or overtly expensive to get the gear you need to set up at home.

Great news on the solution

Thanks, Matt. I'm a tech dunderhead so it's quite good when those in the know can help me out with that side of things. Our landlord is a fine soundman so I know I'm in safe hands there.

Genuine question for the gents (and ladies) of a certain age.

At what point do you start to feel the cold and require a t-shirt underneath your shirt as well as a coat on?

I've seen at least 4/5 elderly gentlemen dressed up like its winter.

I was thinking the same this morning, I passed an older guy, had a coat, hat and gloves on. Hat I understood given the bright sunshine.

Have re-sold the Spurs signed Harry Kane shirt for a 2nd time, in aid of the James Walker appeal, and, 20 hours after the sale, am still waiting for payment

Here we go again....

 

[Holy Joe]

Bonfires on the hottest night of the year with a slight breeze taking the smoke towards the houses

Stick the stuff in your garden waste bin or wait until it's cold or wind is blowing away from houses

Arses!!!!
