I still listen to opie and jim as it's far far above any radio we have in the uk.

You guys did have Ricky Gervais XFM. Rockbusters and shit.

That ended in 2005. The Russell Brand show was funny too before they called Manuel from Fawlty Towers up and said they fucked his granddaughter and the right wing press went mental. Back as a podcast a mere 6 years later.

But radio laws in the UK stop any open talk let alone swear words being used!

No way Brand or Gervais would get away with what they did back then anymore. I think there was a UK type sirius internet station but the 'talent' on that is lacking as there is no money in it

"Buy a 9 and flip it you shitheads. Fuck the thief"

Still one of the best listener feedbacks of all time
