* * NEW THIS MONTH - TOMMY COOPER JOKES  ** BIRMINGHAM RHAPSODY **

Hi Everybody

Welcome along to the Gordon Bathgate On - line Experience and although the show has finished its current run I will be continuing with the site. I'm now presenting the Seventies Slammer Show on Saturday lunchtimes and I have developed another site to tie in with that. The site can be found at www.oocities.org/seventiesslammer

Well it's been quite a while since the site has been updated. Hopefully I'll have more time in the future and will be able to update more regularly. For your delight we present the amazing Fartmatic 5000 - This is what the internet was made for. Something the internet was NOT made for can be found at The most annoying web page in the world. Remember those days in the school playground? Remember playing Scissors, Paper, Stone? Then check out the link above.

Enjoy hours of retro gaming pleasure at Gordon's On-line Games Arcade with such classics as Breakout, Tetris, Battleship and Space Invaders.

We present two of the most requested comedy sketches featured on the show. Due to popular demand they are now available as handy downloadable MP3's.

They can usually be found at car boot sales and second hand shops but I think they're musical masterpieces. What am I talking about? Top of the Pops albums - cheap and nasty cover versions of the day but the epitome of 70's kitsch. Check out the link below.

Hey loser!! You think you're popular don't you? Do you want to know what your so called friends call you behind your back? Then try Gordon's Nickname Generator. WARNING! ADULT CONTENT!!

We have all the usual features including new stuff in Bathgate's boring bits and bobs. This includes Peter Kay's Words of Wisdom, Sid Waddell Quotes and Hangover Ratings. You'll also be able to check if you're an idiot in our 'mincey heid' detector. Find out about the great music phenomenon called  Northern Soul  . If your new to this kind of music you can find out more. There is a concise history of Pirate Radio detailing the fascinating story of illegal broadcasting. It's all there from the offshore pioneers of the 60's to the urban dance rebels of the new millennium.

There's also an article about the History of Radio with some fantastic photo's of antique radio's plus a brief biography of yours truly.

For good measure Mildred my trusty sidekick presents daft metaphors, reasons why the English language is difficult to learn, some more fascinating facts and her nominations for screw-ups of the year.

There are some brand new quips from Steven Wright. The American comedian with a monotone voice and an eye for the absurd. Speaking of the absurd I've searched the internet for weird and wonderful web sites for you to peruse at your leisure. Staying with the weird, there's an appreciation of the classic telefantasy series The Twilight Zone. To access these pages click on the links below.
