video killed the radio deathstar

we had a radio just like this, but it was green. the radio, not the death star. our death star was grey just like this one, too. they only came in the one colour. darth vader used to say "you can have it in any colour you like as long as it's grey"

and in corstorphine in the late 70s and early 80 we used to listen to it on sunday mornings (again, the radio, not the death star - their programming sucked for kids)

and the two things i remember hearing the most on space station z with dick weir were:

• ernie, and he drove the fastest milkcart in the west (aaawwooooooooo)


• the song about flash the hound doggie from the dukes of hazzard
