Thanks for the introduction to Surf FM. 

 

I'm getting tired of listening to Karl on 103 FM, mornings on Wednesdays and weekends, the other days are good, too much talk about Earl Grey tea and for some reason Karl thinks most of his listeners are working here in Pattaya ????, at least Tommy knows most of us are retirees. 

 

What happened to Brooksy and Deny, these guys were good to listen to, they've disappeared.  

 

Megan is great for a laugh, it's nice to hear a woman with a lovely accent, I remember when she was with 96fm.
