The Flashing 12
|
|
We are Paul and Janet, a husband (Parkylondon = geek) and wife (GeekgirlUK = flashing12) team sharing stories and experiences with technology.
Known as The Richard and Judy of podcasting she stumbles her way through technology with his (eyes raised to the heavens) help. We both talk about stuff and nonsense and tech and anything else that drifts past the window.
A Flashing 12 is someone who doesn't "get" technology - they can't program the clock on their VCR or Microwave oven. We all have our moments... but some more than most!

parkylondon's Podcast Episodes - | TWiL 16 - Upriver Top Rankin | This show is part 2 of my trip upriver calling at the bridges on the way
through. Lots of tourhistry (tourist history - geddit?) and interesting
info.I introduce the Parky's Picks book review - well, I've
read a few good books with a London link recently and I was going to
review one this time. Well, that one will have to wait as the one I am
reading at the moment moved me to put it in the show before I have even
finished it! You really must check out Rachel North's Out Of The Tunnel, available at all good bookshops or at Amazon.
Watch the video directly below this posting for more information.
Moving, sad, happy, distubing and funny - and all at the same time. I
am struggling to put this book down.More info about the music and stuff at www.thisweekinlondon.co.uk | Get at Short URL | Download TWiL 16 - Upriver Top Rankin | Play in Popup.

| TWiL #10 - Mayfair, a May Fair | Many thanks to Steven Crosby for suggesting our destination this week.
We're in Mayfair this time, spending time looking in the shops, pubs
and restaurants.
Music is provided by The Tacticians with their lovely song "London's Alright", 3 Blind Mice with Watchstar and Hungry Lucy with Shine. I forgot how good these bands were. Got play more Hungry Lucy...I'm thinking of going on location next time and doing another
WhereTheHeckIsHe? Competition. Harder this time. Much Much Harder. What
do you think? Was it fun or was it rubbish last time? Let me know eh?
Keep the emails coming in - I do answer all of them and is you want to Skype me just call Parkylondon!
Thanks for letting me take 30 minutes of your time today. Much appreciated. Have a nice one. | Get at Short URL | Download TWiL #10 - Mayfair, a May Fair | Play in Popup.

| This Week In London - Episode 2 | Hi...
First of a big thanks to everyone who is tuning in to
This Week in London. I'm having a lot of fun doing this and I hope
you're enjoying it - please do contact me at
thisweekinlondon@gmail.com if you have any stories of Life or Travel in
London.
This time we're exploring Borough Market, the foodies
heaven and associated pubs, restaurants and foody shops. Well worth a
visit if you have time.
As we move into the Christmas Holiday
itself I give a little history on the Christmas Tree in Traflagar
Sqaure, where it came from and why. Also be on the look out for the New
Year Fireworks display after the midnight bongs from the main bell in
St. Stephens Tower at the Houses of Parliament aka Big Ben. FWIW - Big
Ben ONLY refers to the bell, not the clock, not the tower....
I
also talk about the Flickr stream I have on Flat Stan (just Google Flat
Stan if you have no idea what this means) and his travels in London.
You can find the stream here
Music this week sourced at the Podshow Music Network and provided courtesy of the Bands:
Satelite Dub with London has more Lights
and
The Bridge Gang with "London Sky Tonigh" demo0
Special thanks to Ed at Ed's Mixed Bag for playing the promo -

the odd stuff which make my favourite city what it is today.Please
do let me know what you think of this, I want to engage better (more)
with my audience and try to give more back to the folks who have
supported my Podcasting efforts, which, frankly, haven't been terribly
frequent!Send me an email to thisweekinlondon ----at----- gmail

help and start a continuous improvement process with this show.Direct Link to the ShowMusic in this show is provided by:Null Device with a track called "Walk In London - Acoustic Mix" - the have their own home page tooandSingLadies with a track called "London Love" - they have a MySpace Account as well which is worth checking out.I've got a temporary home at London.podshow.com which is where you'll find the RSS feed for it... | Get at Short URL | Download This Week In London - Episode 1 | Play in Popup.

| F12 Number 7 Fair Dinkum Oz Poms | We're baaaack. After a bit of a hiatus we've got another show together. Those of you who read www.theflashing12.com will know what's been going on with my Dad. This show is related to all that but in a positive happy way. We were visited by my Aunt (Dad's Sister) and her son Dave for 10 days about a fortnight ago and this recording is based on a rum, champagne and lemonade fuelled podcast session. Enjoy. PS Adam Curry needs to rip part of this show out... | Get at Short URL | Download F12 Number 7 Fair Dinkum Oz Poms | Play in Popup.

| Flashing 12 Number 1 - 15 Oct 05 | Welcome! This is the first proper Podcast in the Flashing 12 Podcast series. This is the first one I felt I could actually puclish and tell people about. Feel free to check out the others but please bear in mind that they are test runs (=crap)!
Stories in this one are about the Ariane rocket blowing up a few years ago plus an internview with my own "Geek Girl", Janet. She's a near miss in the Flashing 12 stakes as this interview while we were on holiday shows!
Music from Jammin Inc and Natalie Brown via the Podsafe Music Network. Thanks to the BBC and Twelfth Night for the start music - Music section taken from "Sequences" from the album "Live and let live". Enjoy.
