I'll shoot myself now!!!! Next time I'll check *each post* before closing my browser window!! Somebody should've emailed me or some'ing... I missed it completely, not that I ever watch it coz we all know how useless Liquid News is, but just this once, they finally managed to shock the **** out of me! I'll definately be f**king setting the b**tard video for it! (Me and my video are on bad terms at the moment - it never listens!!)

Oh, and just to add another reason why you should all shoot me, I previously thought Asa was female!!

EDIT: Seeing as I had to trawl through several offtopic posts about age, which p*ssed me off a bit, I'm 15!

Liquid News - Friday (that's Thursday night, Friday morning!) 00:05 - BBC ONE Use the tape you've reserved for xmas if you can!!

Well if you're that desperate keep an eye out on UK Today Breakfast over the next few weeks  - ha ha - Shocked


Has the Beeb thought of promoting you to overnights on News 24? its only a notch up from the UKT Brekky slot Very Happy


You should've asked me and noggin - we could do with some exposure Wink  I've always wanted to be on the telly, I only dream of such a thing heheheh - I think I'd like to be an announcer!


Speak for yourself you frustrated presenter, you... I've seen myself on camera - and if I scare myself can you imagine the plight of the poor viewers!

Noggin, who prefers being the shouty person the otherside of the cameras Wink

The mirrored globe... now those were the days!

I remember when the word TWO replaced the double-stripe thing, and thinking it was quite good (I still like it actually!) and that BBC1 clock where the hour indicators got thicker as you went round, and the stripy '2', and those dots that disappeared on the schools countdown clock, and the invasion of the Falklands, and mint Pacers (which were disgusting) and the children's show on Radio 1...


I'm sorry - stripy mint Pacers were FANTASTIC! They were the best sweet available - a mixture of peppermint and spearmint in the green and white stripes. (Rather like eating toothpaste!)

As for the schools countdown clock - who didn't join in for the 10-0 count... We were all budding gallery PAs...

after watching it, im not so negative about the new idents - though theyll never be better than the current ones, and the purple box looks crap.

great to see the forum on telly - together with frazer sheeperd (the deputy news editor of central news west), reading the forum - it seems this site is becoming ever more important!

btw i thought asa came from the meridian area - and so i was expecting a southampton type accent

Don't wory Geraint - I'm sure youll make network one day, after all they can't keep you locked up in that broom-cupboard in Llandaf forever - can they?? Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

a cupboard is the best place for him - ha ha Very Happy - only joking
perhaps we should start a campaign for Geraint to do 2W News and Sport .. sitting on the desk!
And for those of you approaching 30 - some of us are past that milestone! I'm probably double the age of most people here - now I feel very old!

Actually Larry, that's not quite right.  A special Hallowe'en ident in 1992 saw the '2' partially covered with red paint; a spoof of the original Paint ident.


Thought so. I knew I saw the ident with red paint somewhere!

Although I thought it was all red, not just a mixture. But it is going back some years now! Smile
