You may be thinking of Fintan O’Mahoney’s web site which had Aussie and Irish caps. I also remember Evan Davis’s web site. He had lots of NBN and Gold Coast stuff. Also Michael Costello (aka michos) who founded Austvlogos. He had a Geocities site full of caps IIRC. ---

> [@Radiohead](#): > > Oh Real Player… I’d forgotten all about that! ![](https://reposti.com/i/m/TS.jpg) I remember listening to 5MMM on RealPlayer back in 1998 which was my first experience with streaming radio. Plenty of buff-uff-uff-ering but it still blew me away as a 12 year old. As for my own story with MediaSpy, I first lurked in around 2007 or 2008, about the time DTV Forums radio section went quiet. I’m not sure if there was any radio discussion prior to this on MS (and radio is still very much a minor part of the current forum if we’re being honest). I do miss dbrmuz from 2010-2013; I think he ruffled a fair few feathers but it was all good fun. ---

Dying in an earthquake is preferable to being eaten alive I suppose, but not much else! ---

A slow end in 45C+ desert heat would do it for me. At least there’s a decent chance of a quick exit in an earthquake, tsunami, volcano, tornado, nuke etc. The Lithgovian sense of humour is an acquired taste. ---

Haven’t heard from Lloyd for ages. Least I heard he was posting on the old MS as “PZ” . I don’t think he ever migrated to the new forum when it changed. ---
