In with the old

Hi Forum,

I've been out of the loop for a while, but come back to view the same old complaints about TT, Presenters and services from our illustrious operators. Just checked on my telebet account which seems to be no valid. Don't use it lose it. Go figure1

Anyway, I was a bit bored the other day, and after reading a wonderfully nostalgic post here, decided to go and look to find if there was a site to download and listen to some old radio shows that we used to have as kids growing up and discovered a site that has it all.

Included it in site is a portion dedicated to Dick Francis radio plays which I believe might interest, entertain and provide some distraction from the usual garbage churned out on TV.

If you look, you will also find episodes of Squad cars, Address Unknown, Inspector Carr, The Creaking Door, Playhouse 90 and many, many more. I downloaded a couple, and the other evening, armed with a bottle of scotch, sat down and simply listened. I must say, it was great.

You can create a folder in your My Documents. I have called mine Audio Books. All the shows are MP3 form, so when you find one you want, you right click, save link as, Audio Books, download, and retrieve it when you want to listen.

I'd like to hear if there are fellow clanners that share my enthusiasm.

Anyway, here is the site, ENJOY.

I got concerned about this problem. I went onto the site and checked
Taxi 69-09-28 (01) King Size Idiot.mp3 This episode is 12.3MB and took me less than 2 minutes to download using a 3G card
most of these episodes are around that size. Don't cost much bandwidth, not like the video stuff.
Let us all know if you get improvement.(

thanx K'Island,,really enjoying this trip down memory lane (tu)

Thanks Khargisland...really great stuff...
