Where’s The Cake?

September 29th, 2008

….and jelly, and ice cream and presents!?



It’s our 10th Birthday very soon and we’ve got a few special surprises lined up for you to say ‘Thank You’ for your support over the last decade. The world of radio has changed a lot since we started broadcasting on the 5th of October 1998 but thanks to you, Kingdom FM has been Fife’s first choice since day one.


I’m excited about the new games and competitions we have lined up for you over the next few weeks and months. How do you fancy a trip to Hong Kong? Well, that’s just one of the many birthday treats coming your way!Keep an eye on your letterbox too. I’m not allowed to say too much just now, but soon the words “Switch On” will make sense to you…and I’m sure you’ll like it! I’ve already said too much!!



I know that being allowed to play music and chat with you everyday is a real privilege, and if you’ll have me, I’ll be here to see Kingdom FM’s twentieth birthday!


 Happy Birthday!

Erring on the side of caution

September 13th, 2008

This week I’ve been on holiday from the day job, so with Mrs Arthur being too pregnant to fly we decided a few weeks ago to take advantage of a cheap deal at Haggerston Castle in Northumberland.Everything was going well until they phoned us on Sunday, the day before we were due to go.  Aparently the lake was at risk of breaking it’s banks due to the heavy rain in the north of England over the weekend.  The good news is that the lake didn’t burst it’s banks, although the car almost got stuck in the mud… it was worse than Glastonbury!We also decided to go the the Holy Island for a day trip. Now, for those of you not in the know, you get there via a causeway that floods at high tide.  We got there whilst it was ‘flooded’ except that it was bone dry.  Being the cuious sort I thought I would go back the next day to see it flooded, high tide duly came and went and I’d be surprised if there was more than 4 inches of water on it.The picture of the jeep in 5 foot of water must be on a bad day!

Avatars!

September 9th, 2008

The definition of which, as far as computers are concerned at least is :  a graphical image that represents a person, as on the Internet.


If you use MSN Messenger and the like you may have come across Avatar creation websites in the past. I remember a particular hysteria in the Kingdom FM office when the Simpsons Movie was being released and the official movie website allowed you to create yourself in the style of a Simpson’s character.  It kept us all off our work for literally minutes!This past weekend one of my online contacts on one of these ’social networking’ sites posted a link to the latest Avatar creation site. If you want to kill 15 minutes just head here >  www.faceyourmanga.com  


This is how I think I look in a manga-esque cartoon style…. what do you think?

hot air … ?

September 9th, 2008

As you may know – they are letting me out of the studio this weekend, as the show is coming live from the new Crystal Gait housing development, in Glenrothes.  I love having a poke round new houses, so I’m looking forward to that bit.

There’s plenty going on too, including, the Remax Hot air Balloon.  I’ve heard whispers of them trying to get me in there … but I am not so sure!  I think I would like it – but I don’t want to run the risk of sounding scared out of my wits, in the middle of the show !

Put it this way … if I didn’t like it, you won’t need the radio on to hear me !!

I’m hoping for wind!

September 4th, 2008

Naturally I’m talking in a meteorological sense!



On the show this week I was talking about my latest purchase…. a ‘Big Boys Toy’ for want of a better description.I am now the proud owner of a Peter Lynn Pepper II!



Those of you in-the-know will realise that a Peter Lynn Pepper II is nothing to do with condiments, but rather a kite! Yep, the kids favourite has been reinvented and reworked and now has a new ‘x-treme’ sports name. No longer is it just a kite…these days it’s a power kite!! 



Designed to pull the kite flier along in a buggy or landboard - or if you’re not careful, up into the sky! -  these kites are far from toys. I had been looking for a kite online for a while and, true to the stereotype, I waited till I found a bargain priced kite in an online sale before I parted with my hard earned cash.



Again living up to the masculine stereotype and working on the ‘bigger is better’ theory, I opted to go for the 6 metre version. Being a child of the 70’s, and a stranger to the metric system, I may have misjudged just how big this is! Laying the kite out I now know that 6 metres is massive!



If the weather gives us a light breeze this weekend I will hopefully get the chance to get some flying in. If it’s more than a light breeze…. it’s been lovely knowing you!
