The (British) Empire Strikes Back : The Man With A Face For Radio
Don’t Panic!!
My Sunday Roast…sorry…post will appear on Sunday as normal.
This is merely a small advertisement for those with nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon – in the case of America.
Should you have the slightly unnerving desire to listen to the dulcit and rather drunken ramblings of Four Dinners you can do so LIVE on internet radio.
The Drunk Punk Show begins at 9pm UK time which I believe is 4pm Eastern Time, 3pm Central Time, 2pm Mountain Time, and 1pm Pacific Time.
Please be aware, as we are past the ‘watershed’ in England the listening may be considered unsuitable for minors or those of a nervous disposition.
To listen you merely click on www.scooter-forums.com
Once on the site you click ‘Listen’ and away you go.
There is no downloading or registering required – we’re a trusting lot at SFR…
I chat ‘live’ in the ‘shoutbox’ (although it appears it is not always working via America so I will also be in ‘The Lounge’ which you find by clicking ‘To the forums and signing into the scooter forums lounge)…SIMPLES.
Great music – punk, ska, rock, new wave, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and, of course, your host, Four Dinners, occasionally chirruping in with his thoughts on life, the universe and everything….
So there you go. You can tune in to the man with a face for radio this Saturday at what ever time it happens to be in whatever bit of America you’re in.
Maybe catch you there with our SFR fans!!!……………;-)

LOL 4D!!
Given Mr M’s question of ‘Is that your wife in the photo?’ I feel obliged, out of a sense of honesty and openness to advise you that the young lady in the pic is A) A fan of SFR, B) A fan of The Drunk Punk Show, C) a friend of my 20 year old daughter, D) Only 20 years old and, finally D)…I’ve changed my mind. Sod openness…
Mind your own business…;-)
Mike : Nobody is older than me. It’s a loooong story…;-)
Beachy : Please don’t expect ‘professional’. SFR would like professional but it’s me. hic. The music is sound mind!!!
I can’t wait to tune in and listen.
Actually it could be tomorrow for old England she sails
LOL! So I’m a few years older than you. Not a geezer but older 🙂
….tomorrow for Old England we sail……
Mike : Roger Whittaker???…as the Americans say. OH. MY. GOD. I wonder if I dare?…..
Stimpson : London Calling & Should I Stay Or Should I go are in the show. Already were as it happens.
Mike : Counting Crows are about 20 minutes in. ‘Colorblind’. Elvis is nearly at the end – so you have to listen to catch him!!! 😉
Right. Playlist sorted.
Any more requests will have to move to the show a week this Saturday.
Actually this is my 15th show. SFR are clearly unhinged…;-)
Four Seasons, Beach Boys, Drifters, Roger Whittaker?
Mike : I’ll give you an Elvis ballad. If I can find them on Limewire I’ll give you a Counting Crows.
‘Seeger, Springstein, Joplin, Presley, Orbison’???
Good grief man!
I have my street cred to consider…;-)
Actually…Orbison…mmmm…I could get away with him
I tuned in to your link Stimpson. Those guys have to be in their 60’s by now. Secondly, that is not my kind of music. I am a Seeger, Springstein, Joplin, Presley, Orbison, and etc. etc. etc. kind of guy 🙂
Uh-oh 4D! Perhaps you should write to Dear Maddy. She debuts tomorrow. Already she has 9 requests for relationship advice.
I also like Counting Crows! Not the act but the group 🙂
I will be listening for the E-man. I don’t like his earlier Hound Dog stuff by the way, but like his ballads. If I Can Dream type stuff….
SJ : shoved The Damned and Buzzcocks into the playlist. And why the devil not eh? SFR are suggesting I’m out of control…well? They knew that before I started!
This will be ‘The 15th Pint’ ie the 15th show. Extraordinary I haven’t been sacked yet..;-)
Mike : An Elvis fan??? Oh dear. Oh alright. I’ll play one just for you. Oh dear. There goes my street cred…;-)
Stimpson : You are so right old bean. He really is a heathen isn’t he?..;-)
Mkke : Tasteful and Four Dinners is normally associated in me eating curry…;-)
Mike : er…perhaps we shouldn’t go there…;-) She’s a fan of SFR!!! We have some you know!
London Calling is the best album ever.
London Calling, one of my favorites too.
P.S. Is that your wife with the “T” on her hand?
4D…I love traveling your blog roll. So many of your friends are surprised that you are posting to an American blog. You have a point about tasteful and etc. 🙂 🙂 🙂
SJ…I’ve never heard of any of those guys,or is that groups? Is that because I am so old, or is it just because I am an Elvis fan/ 🙂
You don’t know The Clash? I’m speechless. I’m totally aghast. Joe Strummer, RIP, is a rock god and an example to all artists.
FYI:
Joe Strummer
The Clash on Tomorrow with Tom Snyder, 1981
Mike – As per your mail. A statement including the words ‘tasteful’ and ‘Four Dinners’ is quite a novelty. I will save this mail with pride!!!
SJ – Sham and The Clash will certainly be popping up in the show. (Actually, Albie Maskell who was the original bassist with Sham 69 is a pal of mine. He’s often promised me a live interview on the show but I can never get the drunken git out of the pub to do it!…one day eh?)
4D!!!!!
Congratulations man, I’ll be listening next time! I’m an old fan of Sham69, Buzzcocks, Damned, Clash and others from the period!
Cheers!
-SJ
LOL! No problem 4D. It is well done and I like it! I will also be there 🙂
Mike – apologies old bean. I’d posted the damn thing before getting your mail to put it on the old blog. Sorry…..I’m in the dog house again….
