great !!! of to buy a cb radio 😛

it will work, but in more socially developed and civilised countries (like most EU ones) – and to be fair many parts of the USA you would get in far more trouble for deliberately transmitting a poor quality radio signal of this nature without a license to do so and specifically to cause interference than for making more noise yourself, and far less for involving ther proper authorities if doing so is justified (such as a young family with kids who have tried to be friendly but have been threatened when they asked nicely for the music to be turned down).

if anyone tries that stunt anywhere near the North Sea where similar frequencies to CB are used for vital comms between ships. oil rigs etc, soon they will meet the Enforcement Officers of the national Ministry of Communications, along with many policemen and other officials and it will be they who become the villain rather than the noisemakers…

That said living on a “low income” housing estate doesn’t give anyone the right to make excesive noise – I live in such a place but there are lots of young families and old people around so I try to keep my music within reasonable levels and times.

And when you live in a area of England that is suffering a major backlash against the drugs scene of the 1990s onwards, I’d consider a neighbour who likes and tolerates loud music to be more of an ally than enemy – even if you may not like their sort of music as much as your own – at least one of my own neighbours likes grime/dubstep – not my favourite but it means I don’t get hassle if I occasionally want to play my music louder

FFS even basshunters is better than them lot… mind you I did once work with a lot of engineers from SVT and other national broadcasters and they take stuff like Eurovision really seriously. but if you play UK dance music loud, would they tolerate you or turn you in to the council authorities?

On the radio the eurovision heat songs are played to death.
Radio here up where I live is so shite that I sometimes feel like going to the station and having a full on melt down and burn the place down. Same songs played over and over each hour until you just want to slash your wrists. Unfortunately in the car (I drive a lot each day for work) I only have radio and a really old cd player that doesnt play MP3 so am a bit screwed.

TBH this is now the same in most parts of England and it seems even many Northern European nations – even “dance” stations like Kiss have been heavily watered down. We get two hours of “townie dance” on our community radio station at weekends if we are lucky. During the daytime its all good and worthy talk stuff (including rather a two hour show entirely in Chinese). That said this area (East Anglia) is more like many Scandinavian or Teutonic countries than London)

I play an MMO that basshunter plays lmao … I killed him the other week in it ahaha

this doesn’t surprise me at all – anyone what writes a entire pop song about a chatroom bot must be into his techie stuff (to be fair in these countries it is cold during winter but they have good broadband so people spend whole winters at home playing on computers and I don’t blame them..)
