RiffRaff Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Early annoying ads also included "BAT joinery"..... Used to be on every advert break - talk about winding you up. Something else that used to get under the skin was a recording of a bird, twittering away in the background, when Bill MacDonald (I think - a director, too) was on...... You'd think it would be really relaxing but it wasn't!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harwink2 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Funnilee enuff.... I came across Hallam on the internet yesterday. It's been 15 years since I left Sheffield.

pitsmoorlad Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (QUOTE, Anyone know what happened to Graham Blinko?) If I remember he was the Managing Director in the mid 80s. I used to kn ow his Daughter at Tapton School in about 1985. Graham Blincow is now retired to a life of leisure and fishing. I've been a friend of his for ..... mmm..... let's see now.......minutes. He's fit and well, although his fishing skills leave a lot to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant1972 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I remember Bill Crozier doing the request show weekdays 7 while 8PM and Sunday Lunchtimes 12 while 2. Does anyone remember a presenter called Michail Lindsey? He used to be on Saturday evenings at 8. I cant remember what show he did but I remember his name.

He, like Mike Rouse, was one of the engineers who was allowed "air time" He used to play jingles from other ILR stations and a few American & 60's pirate jingles and occasionally get the sports editor, Stuart Linell involved.

He might be retired to a life of leisure and fishing but he still knows who his real friends are - anyway, who are you to judge his fishing abilities - sounds like you think you know something about the subject, and that's a myth!!! It's lovely to read everybody's comments about the life I led for 16 years - I guess I was lucky to be part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant1972 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 was his show on in 83 or something ? freddie j allen was always one of my faves on there along with amanda charlsworth wonder what happend to those 2 Recently Freddie J Allan was on Magic AM Sheffield but I dont think he is there now. Yes I used to like Amanda Charlesworth who was on the Sunday late show. She was very good. She also presented Hallam Folk for a while. She left around 1988 but have not heard of her since then.
