Yep, the good news is I managed to get N Gauge Forum mentioned on BBC Radio 2 this morning :claphappy:
The bad news is it was shortly before 4.30am, but you can't have everything :D
Driving about in the wee small hours I regularly listen to Alex Lester's programme, which consists of all sorts of interactive sillyness just for a laugh. On fridays he gets people to text in why it's a "feelgood friday" for them. If you go to the following link to "listen again" it's at about 2:25 in:-

There was a bit of gentle ribbing but all in good fun :thumbsup:
Paul
Nice - next stop hollywood! :thumbsup:
Took a bit of getting to the spot, but finally heard the clip. Nice one Paul, fame at last. I used to be a regular listener, but since I retired, I sleep a bit later.
Are you sure it was you, Paul - there was no mention of a HST or a Sierra :laugh: :laugh:
Likewise I must have heard the same part of 'I'm a believer' many times before getting to the clip and it was worth it. Great job Paul - well done :claphappy: :claphappy:
Nice one Paul, well done for sacrificing yourself in the name of the N Gauge Forum, he did give you a bit of stick didn't, rotten guy.
:beers:
"Is N gauge bigger than 00?". Another reason to be known as The Dark Lord. :laugh:
I think by some of the comments he made he might like to go to Ally Pally - providing no one saw him! :laugh:
:NGF:
He did add later in the programme that the Producer had been online and found that N Gauge is actually SMALLER than the 00 he had as a child :D
Paul
Well done Sprintex! Just the sort of thing we need. :music:
Here is the clip that will save you all searching through the programme for it ;)
You may need to turn your volume up a bit :-[

cheers John.
Well Done! :thumbsup: :NGF:
Nice one, Paul! :claphappy:
I heard this at 4:30 this morning just after booking on as I was driving to the depot to take my train out...
Nearly sprayed my tea all over the windscreen in the car. Well done that man...
"Do You Wear A Hat" course he does!!
Comes with the horse ! Ye Haw ;)
Looks like your routing to be picked as the next NGF forum moderator! :P :D
Joking aside well done :thumbsup:
It may surprise you to know that the NGF has some famous people all ready here amongst us, one of which is a very well renowned BBC journalist ;)
Isnt a certain ex House Party host also a member? !!!
Mr Blobby?? :laugh:

Well, I sent Alex a lengthy e-mail over the weekend answering his questions, not much expecting it to get mentioned. At 3.30 this morning he read nearly all of it out! :D
Starts at 1:30 in if anyone wants to listen:-

Got some acknowledgement for our female modellers :thumbsup: and those "other halves" that don't post on here but are nonetheless just as involved one way or another including my misses, and yes the NGF got mentioned again! :laugh2:
Good on you Mr Lester for being so interactive with your listeners :beers:
Paul
Well done Paul, that was a good mention and hopefully clearing up a few myths about our hobby :thumbsup:
cheers John.
A very good email Paul, well done and fair play to Alex too!
I wonder if Alex is excited that he's got a mention on the NGF? Has anyone told him? Should we send in a screen shot? :NGF:
You tell 'em Paul! :D Now, where's my hat and whistle..... :smiley-laughing:
Thanks for putting Alex on the right track, Paul :thumbsup:
Just listened to the two clips.
Brilliant!
Well done.
Careful Paul, you'll be getting a regular slot on Alex Lester's show. Seriously though, a good bit of publicity for the forum.
