QBS to raise the dead?

Quiet-times
By Quiet-times

Much has been said about the pro's and con's of QBS but yesterday they managed to outdo themselves.

I had left my ipod in my bag so I forced myself to listen to the "Pearl of the Gulf" that's QBS to you and I. The greatest radio station ever to strike up a middle C.

So, as I was saying, switched on radio. Atmospherics bad so no 'Diggers'. QBS it is then.

Wait.... They are playing Songbird by Eva Cassidy. Fantastic song by a much respected, much loved singer.

"Beautiful song". says 'Palpatating Phil Jay', ex Radio Caroline teaboy. "Yes indeed" says 'Pam Pandemonium Worth'. The 'Ex Forces Sweetheart'.

"We must get an interview with her", say's Big Phil. "Yes" says the annoying dog toy sqeeky voiced darling Pam. "She lives not far from here in Hove".

Nice to see they are on the ball.

Eva Cassidy died in 1996.

I never switch to the radio. Never felt the need to.

Maybe the ghost of Eva strolls up and down the prom each night?

5 years ago TV reception was just as bad as Mozaic is now.... That's progress for you.

It is neither.

It is a product from a time gone by in a land that time forgot.

They still have to make up their mind... if QBS is English or French (Radio)...

...they dont have a single good Radio Jockey...

The Qatar Foundation Radio have better RJs but they just play instrumental music...

That was only 15 years ago, for some in Qatar they still think its 1971!
