In the General board please. I know the idea is an RSK creation, but we get so much of it that it's better collected outside of the RSK board.

OH NOES. Keep that stuff in RSK, s'il vous plaît

What's the name of the street Steve used to live on?
It's Gay's Road.


This surely goes against your(unwritten) rules on all things PSI Compliancy and pluggin' illegal downloading content etc.

Steve himself didn't want the listeners to be aware what street name his parents live at.

Sorry to be a pedantic old sod.
Say goodnight to the folks, Gracie.

It's sort of common knowledge now, it's been posted so many times. People know, so there's no point trying to limit the amount of people who know. Without the mention in the FAQ, there'd just be a bunch of new threads wherein someone would just say it anyway.

Way back when, it was common knowledge what the name of the road was, so there was no point trying to keep it a state secret.

Edit: what Barry said.

Is Karl an actor?
No, and we don't take very kindly to such accusations ... As Ricky said himself, if they'd created the character of Pilkers, do you think they'd have announced it on a tinpot radio station like Xfm?


Isn't this a bit contradictory? On the wiki FAQ, it says...

He's an eccentric little fella from Manchester who left school at 15 and worked his way up from hospital radio to become head of production at the biggest alternative music radio station in the UK.


So what is it? A tinpot station or the biggest alternative music radio station in the UK?

Not to mention the fact that Karl is now an actor.

Those statements are not mutually exclusive.

Can the old XFM shows be obtained anywhere privately?
