CB radio

One nine for a copy, come back good buddy :lol:


One of Dan's posts in the TV car thread was a trailer for Convoy and it reminded me of CB radios. Did anyone here have a CB and what was your handle? And what are your memories of using it?

 

[DHTiling]

Handle.. i had a few.. Solo1 and Crazy legs Crane were 2 i used for a long time..

Used to even go to local CB club meeting every week but it was more of a drinking session..lol lol.. had some good times on the cb but then when it went legal , all the kids started getting them and it spoiled it.. so sold up..

 

[SandyFloor]

I think I changed my handle from week to week. I remember one was Secret Squirrel. Looking back it's hilarious when you think of all the jargon used on it and the dumb accents used. Like you say legality took the fun out it.

 

[DHTiling]

It did.. we used to do quite a bit of Dx'ng when the skip was up in the summer months but FM knacked that with loads of background hash..

Was fun though in it's early days.. Even early FM was good..

LOL, I used to have an A.M one, much the same as Dave, I used to go to the local meet had good memories and lots of 'fun'

And I was Mars Bar

[DHTiling]

LOL.. ye met a few horrors.. scary times..

 

[SandyFloor]

I chatted for about an hour one night to a girl with a really sweet but sexy voice. The next day I was at college on day release and while I was outside for a smoke I heard the same sweet sexy voice over my shoulder telling her friend about the very same conversation....it was her!!!. I casually turned round expecting to have a look at a vision of loveliness and here was the most skelly butt ugly minger you've ever seen. I didn't introduce myself.
