BB FANS

Just to let you know about the BBC's new word and dialect quiz which is going out on Radio Scotland every Friday at 11.30am for the next seven weeks.

It's great fun and anybody interested in language/words/accents/dialect should enjoy it.

Aww! There was one I especially wanted to hear but that's in school time. Shall have to ask someone who listens the answer I want to know.

Thanks for posting though.

If you think I might know the answer, pm me. I am the questionmaster for the quiz after all Jezi!

The link to this can be found HERE. You then have to click on "listen again here" on the top right hand side of the site and then scroll down the page to the very bottom and click on "Your Word Against Mine".

Oh yeah, I forgot about that listening again later option - I listened to one radio Scotland interview goodness knows how many times one day. Wonder if you can still get it now

You can get the quiz Jezi - not sure if you can still get the interview you mentioned.

No the interview I'm speaking about was at the end of June/beginning of July before I saw the show it was talking about so it likely isn't still there - it was a nice interview though.

Shall remember and listen after singing tomorrow.

Ding ding - round two - Friday 11.30am...

I listen ed to this but I I could get many right.

I have to say Cameron you have a lovely voice for radio (and that was sincere so don't faint)

It's very kind of you to say so, cc, thanks a lot. The big boss of BBC Scotland is very happy with the quiz, so that's great news for the whole production team.

I'm away on some broadcast training with the BBC next month, so I'm pleased about that. Well, I think I'm pleased at least - either it means there's a chance I'll be working with them some more, or else they think I'm pants!

Even the best people need training.

Really pleased that you are doing well at something you obviously enjoy.

someone seems to have slips some sincerity pills into my tea...quick give me a slap

Schlappp.

lol

thanks

Quite enjoyed it really

I really love doing radio, to the extent that I've been up at 4.30am the past two Sundays to go and do the 6-9.30am breakfast show in Aberdeen...

It's funny because a lot of TV people you meet say they wish they could get into radio. It always stuck me as odd, until I had done some radio and then I could see why.

It seems to be opposite over here - a lot of Radio people gets themselves into a TV sooner or later

I realised that with Real Player we can listen to BBC over here as well

Nice to hear that you enjoy your work on the Radio!
