I continue to be thwarted in my attempts to contribute to the Nick ferrari early morning show(7am-10am). I have called almost all of the last ten working days but with no success! The lines are not busy and I can tell that some tactics are used to dissuade me from going on- I may describe these in more detail later.
Firstly, here is a small table showing date/subject for discussion/whether I called or not and, my view on the subject being discussed;
Mon 6Nov/Sadaam Death Penalty/called/well I say top him just as long as similar fellows meet the same fate-I can think of a few names who meet the criteria but dammit they've slipped my mind for now. I do feel sure however that Dummy Rumsfriend will be upset aboot this as he and Sadaam were quite big buddies at one time(Go German Law).
Tue 7Nov/Muslim Veils/called/there is no religious/spiritual or, Quranic requirement for women to wear a veil! (End of!)
Wed 8Nov/Mayor Livingstones trip to Venezuela/Did not call/This man's tenure as Mayor continues to impress with it's total disregard for truth, honesty and VALUE FOR MONEY! Mr nick Ferrari, who has indicated a desire to run for this office, has my total support in this respect! In a related development, during this week's Queen's(sic) speech, at the opening of the new parliament, one of the items on New(sic) Labour's(sic) agenda is "more power for the London Mayor"! Do they know something we don't know? I mean, will they be happy giving more power to e.g. Nick ferrari? Or, do they feel that the result is already a foregone conclusion?
COME ON NICK RUN if only to ensure that James Whale has no success!
Thu 9Nov/Palestinian matter re shelling by Israeli army/called/ Nick's show attracts a large Jewish audience and they were vocal in their support of such incidents whilst maintaining that the Arab propaganda machine is more efficient than theirs. A very imotive matter!
Fri 10Nov/Poppies/called/This concerned news reader John snow's refusal to wear a poppy on air. I agree with him. I always used to buy and wear a poppy as a sign of rememberance. I no longer do so as I came to realise that whilst people are, it seems, to be required to wear a poppy, our government(sic) appears to have no problem whatsoever in ignoring the plight of veterans past and present! See ITV's recent documentary/report on injured soldiers returning to this country! Note also how ongoing British service personnel deaths don't really make headlines for long.
Mon 13Nov/Elton John calls for the abolishing of religion because religions are homophobic/called/Firstly, the word homophobic is being wrongly defined. I do not feel that one man putting his penis in another man's bottom is in any way normal but, that does not mean that i have a irrational fear of gay people. They can get on and do just whatsoever they wish but, do not ask me to agree that it is normal as, it is not!
Tue 14Nov/Censorship of the word "nigger"/called(this time my call was answered and I was asked to hold to talk to Nick(they NEVER normally do this as they NEARLY always call back) after holding for aboot 8mins I was dumped!)/This concerned the advertising of a comedy by a BLACK american comedian who could not get billboard advertising space as the title of his work contains the word "nigger"! Get a life everyone-it's satire for God's sake! I mean what's another word for cocoon? N-nigger! Hell, jokes are fun no? It is a requirement of this association that no indication to colour is allowed1 i was recently asked on a local Government form: to which ethnic group do I belong and I answered- "ALL"!
Wed 15Nov/The cricketer Trescothick's return from the ashes tour/did not call/Who cares? Is he concerned aboot leaving his wife alone for so long or what? Keep yer eyes on the sports headlines!
Thu 16nov/Can the rascist BNP political party take christian communion/called/Do BNP members think that Christ was a white guy?
Fri 17Nov/The Children-in-Need television spectacular(sic)/called/This is a pet subject of mine. Watch this space for updates in due course. At the time of writing I can confirm that I have accounts for 2004 and their numbers are NOT going to stand up to close scrutiny! E.G. £5Million of funds collected in 2004 was spent on salaries- that's all the data I have at present but, I'm working on it! I also have a healthy interest in The Princess of Wales(Diana) memorial fund and Comic Relief.
Just one final point on the C-I-N subject, I heard on the BBC's noon news that this years appeal has raised a RECORD £18.3 million pounds which, is weird as the figures i have seen so far both beat this number! are the BBC lying to us? No! It can't be can it?
Check for yourself, maybe I'm jest dislexic !

NEWS
In this period under review two news items have particularly grabbed my attention.
The first one is the poor hindu-to-muslim guy who was going to destroy the world in the name of Islam. Whilst this poor misguided fool definately requires to be locked up in a loony bin forever he in no wise was going to achieve what he was ALLEGEDLY planning! A dirty(nuclear) bomb, the flooding/destruction of the London underground?
Please!!!
The head of MI5, Dame Eliza Manningham Buller, must believe in stories like this I suppose as she has recently stated that we can expect some few decades of trouble from Islamic extremists-I may email her!(I also have plans to contact some gentlemen at the right hand end of Islamic fundamentalism to suggest to them that they should concentrate their efforts on following the tenets of their religion rather than behaving like a bunch of football hooligan style yobos!)
Remember that it was MI6 who said Sadaam could hit us in 45 minutes-yeah right! It's more likely that Trescothick will open fer England !
By the way, whatever did happen to MI1,2,3 and 4?
The other item that caught my eye was the revelation, reported by the Daily Mail on Thursday(I think), that the word "BOO" is illegal and an offence to use under the "PREVENTION OF TERRORISM ACT-2006"
A male nurse waiting to see the Queen(sic) on wednesday's opening of parliament shouted "BOO" when he saw toRy bLiar's car going by i.e. I suppose he directed the word at that vehicle. He was apprehended by police who informed him that they were required to search him under the above named act and they made him tell them his name, address and telephone number! (UBER ALLES) (Well the Queen(sic) is German after all!)
I shall be writing to the head of the Met to ask whether only "BOO" is illegal or if the following words are also;
Coo(Cow, affects Scots only), Do or Doo(as in Doo Doo(crap)), Goo, Hoo(How, affects Scots only), Jew, Koo(Cow, affects Scots only), Loo, Moo, Noo(Now, affects scots only), ooo, Poo, Roo(affects supporters of Man Utd. and England only), Sue(as in the girl's name or, to file a law suit), To, Too, Two, Woo, You, Yew and lastly Zoo!
(This list may not be full- so, take care of yer language when yer oot and aboot!)

Newsletter the FOURTH(previously advised as fifth)
THE NON CONFORMIST ERITH AND DISTRICT RIVER WIDENING ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER THE FOURTH!
The date is: 5November2006
Greetings MEMBERS, Pending Members (Stop Pending :)) and, other addressees!
I shall be talking about Guy Fawkes night in due course but first;
OTHER NEWS
Membership increase continues to be slow but, from little acorns great oak trees do grow!
However, I would appreciate your help in swelling numbers and please feel free to give this email address to friends, family etc. if they express any interest in joining up:
bubbasmith@btinternet.com
At the moment we have 6 confirmed UK members; 2 confirmed US members and 5 confirmed ME members;
Pending members are in Wales, England, Thailand, Australia and Belgium, so come on you naughty peoples and get confirmed!
The really big news is that I continue to be prevented from contributing to the Nick Ferrari show(7am-10am UK time). I call every week-day between 8 & 8:30am.
Why is this? I don't really know!
A number of tactics have been employed to this effect;
Firstly, although I was called back by the producers/receptionists on a number of occasions and placed in the usual holding pattern, I was left there until the 8:30 news then politely told that my call couldn't be taken.
Recently though the producers/receptionists do not answer my call at all, which is possible for them to do as their regular callers are contained in a data base and their equipment identifies in-coming callers- despite calling continually from 8 to 8:30.
Now, you may be saying that they may just be busy but, having some 9 years experience in calling call-in shows like Nick's I can assure you (without going into great detail) that this is not the case. A good rule of thumb is that when one calls a call-in show and if one gets through then, one's call will be answered- whether they allow one to comment or not or call one back, that is another matter!
In my experience this rule applies to all the radio shows I have ever called on a variety of channels viz:
Radio1; Radio4; Talk Sport; 5 Live and of course LBC. I have called and spoken to multiple hosts and at all different times of the day!
This isn't the first time that a host has not wished to take my calls; Charlie Wolf of talk Sport fame refused to take my calls during the 9/11 debacle; ostensibly because he had no answer to my various arguments- Nick seems to be falling into this category too!
For your general interest some of the things I have disagreed with Nick about include the illegal detention of the supposed airline bombers and my correct prediction that they all would eventually be released without charge- which is happening.
Now I don't support terrorists in any wise but hey, Magna Carta promises the right of Habeas Corpus and the dispensation of swift justice and all I'm saying is that to be banged up without trial for possessing a map of Afghanistan is not within that glorious documents remit!
Other matters that Nick is always promoting are the sun newspaper(sic); The X Factor as a show of laudable entertainment value(moooooooo) and, Jonathon Ross as a great entertainer too(moo)!
However, I shall not be put off and shall continue to try to contribute to his show which is my RIGHT! Nick on the other hand does not have the right to refuse calls from those he disagrees with! Not in a democracy at any rate!
If anyone is thinking, by the way, that I may have sworn on air or used language of a particularly opprobrious nature, this is emphatically not the case!
Getting back to Guy Fawkes night and bearing in mind the terror filled times that we live in now, why is it that explosives are readily available in all kinds of retail outlets and, year round too?
One of our members recently sent me this link;
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4943675105275097719
it contains some compelling data and much food for thought!
Remember fellow non-conformers to please visit and contribute to;

call and thank him and call or email Nick too!

Wheels in other wheels;
Ideas inside ideas;
and Ideals within ideals;
Freedom comes so cheaply;
Because it’s free you see;
It’s enshrined in our existence;
It’s what it is to BE.
The Lion and the Dolphin;
Keepers of their fief;
Exult in total mastery;
And shall NOT suffer Grief.
