I loved going on "Eyeballs" because people never actually looked like how their voice sounded! Remember meeting one chap who sounded such a hunk and he was a 30 stone biker.... not good!! Anyone ever go to a meet at Windsor safari Park? I used to love them!!

LOL.... you must be young kate... I was only about 12 at the height of the craze and my handle was 'Evil Eyes' Shaz

Still got mine, a couple of rigs in the house (UK & CEPT) plus one in the car (Dual, but don't let on). Most of the muppets who spoilt it in the early 90s have gone on to better things, so when you do get a contact it's much more sensible. It kept me sane when out of work 1993-94 and made some great mates, at one time had about 60 regular contacts. Greatest memory: DXing back to the UK from the motorway outside Bordeaux plus some great skip from Germany, Cyprus, Scotland and Ireland. Happy days!

We had one years ago, it was great fun. My handle was 'Lady in Red'. Jo.

Come on there must be more of us CBers out there!!!!!!!

Lisa.... I too have some life-long friends from CB, it's also thanks to CB radio that I have my gorgeous god-daughter.... her father was someone I met thru CB.... so here's to all the wonderful people it provided to us!! :O)

Just to add a bit more, in my late teens i even had one in the car rigged to the PA system and Dixie air horns that could be played through it, How naughty was i ? My mum would have killed me if she knew how many 'eyeballs' i went on. But i also made some good friends who are still a part of my life through the CB and indirectly met my huubie, so maybe not a bad thing (much safer than internet chatrooms) Over and out, good buddy, ten ten till we do it again Bright eyes xxxx

Hi everyone,I would like to apologize to Lisa, for hijacking her thread last night..None of what I said was directed at any of you, in particular, it was directed at the Attitude, at the height of the craze..... Now I got that off my chest I hope that we can get back to the ( sort of) normal people that we are, and continue aour debates? in the usual fashion....10-10 "lets do it again!!!!" 73's- 88's to whoever has their ears on, good buddy Bob

Wow this takes me back too. I was Silver Queen and spent many an hour having good chats and fun on my CB radio. Jane
