    No potentially libellous references to the peccadilloes of politicians, celebrities or royal family members,though. Much though I enjoy that sort of thing. ;)

    nothing litigious old boy... just stuff about buses and the wrappers on Babybel's... light relief stuff.... but I was also gonna do some historical stuff along the lines of, the conversation between JFK and Jackie O prior to getting shot... or the last 3 minutes of Hitlers life... :) just rants about everyday things on an observational level

    I'll need to get started but it was mainly to check that you would be open to this kinda thing.

    Cheers :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Anything you like, really. I suppose I have to keep it kind of before the watershed but we can bend those old rules as far as we can get away with.

    I'd love that.

    When everyone has stuff ready, start PMing me and I'll get everything in and make up a playlist.

    I would love to do this, but how do I record something for you? Is there such a thing as an MP3 whatever for me to talk into? I'm really not well-versed in this MP3 business. Little help?

    Sure. There are several free recording programs available. The one I'm using at the moment is part of the JetAudio player. For me, Jet's as good as any media player, including Winamp. It has a built-in CD Burner, CD Ripper, and File Converter, as well as the recorder.

    Here's a link to it, via Download.com:

    http://www.download.com/3000-2167-10013740.html


    Once you have it downloaded, installed and running, you'll see a "R" for recording option on the face of the player. Click it. A screen will appear, headed "Recording". In the top left window, tick the box saying "Microphone." (Let's presume you have a good mic plugged into the soundcard in your pc.) Then, choose the format you want to save your file to (WAV is usually default, but it takes up a lot of disk space; you could choose WMA 7 format instead), decide where on your pc you want it to be stored, and when you're ready, hit the Start button. When you're done, click Stop.

    Hope that helps, Bella.

    I don't have a microphone, but hope to get one soon. Are we all going to be able to listen to everyone elses contributions even if we aren't able to contribute? Sorry, I'm a little niave about this stuff.

    okay, Fins, I recorded a test message for you on JetAudio after downloading it, to see if it worked, but I don't think I saved it......I might have to try again, and see if I can save it, and send it to you......I did it, so I'm gonna send it to you, and you can tell me whether I need to fix up the sound quality or anything like that.....this is great!!!!
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    Still waiting for more material, mate! If I say to everyone, right, I'm broadcasting as from a certain date anyway, even if it's just your and my stuff I play (and Pasta's, I have a file of hers), we'll get the ball rolling. How about, er, a fortnight from today?
