Sorry but no.

I think this is a trick question Colin used on his students back in the day

I thought we are on our memory not our power over google

If we are, then I missed where that was said.

I was just teasing you. For a second it felt good to be mean.

Tera's getting all bad-ass, do practice any disciplines like Marshall Arts?

Askin for a friend.

 

[Deleted member 147267]

Ya mean Martial? Or is Marshall Arts a member who's hiding in the weeds?

Whatever I can do to make you feel better is OK with me, Aibō (hopefully that translation worked).

 

[NauticalGent]

Too low for Zero was my guess. Hmmm...

Aibō (hopefully that translation worked).

Perfect

Umm, I had that in mind, but Colin said no "Sir" but it's SIR EJ? At least he is now, but not then?

2LO is a clue to both a song and album title. UK band. Late 1970s. Sometimes referred to as the best post punk album.

 

[NauticalGent]

When I consulted Dr. Google, I got an interesting history on the 2LO radio station...

 

[isladogs]

That's your clue.

I just spent ten minutes down that rabbit hole, I'll never get those minutes back. Thanks NG!

The 2LO (London) radio station had a famous call sign. Well known to those who live by the river ...

 

[NauticalGent]

London Calling - The Clash jeez

 

[NauticalGent]

Had to be spoon fed that one and read the fine print. Although that was not as easy as you think, that was an awesome research project!

From this article:
"As listeners and broadcasters began to realise the potential of the radio to entertain as well as inform, the call sign "2LO calling" became well known."

 

[isladogs]

This is 2LO. London Calling

Hooray. That one was meant to be easy....
