Bring Back Bosco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

didn't one of the presenters become a drug addict, was it Philip?

BTW I loved Bosco, bring him back!!!!

I'm after borrowing a friends LP "Bosco Sings" just to MP3 it, (remember boys and girls, copying music that you don't own is wrong) so that it wont be lost to the ages of time like so many other works of music/TV. Wonderly Wangon was taped over every week or so to save on costs RTE are looking for footage of these as they don't have much themselves please check your video tapes (VHS + Betamax). In the meantime here is the list of tracks off the LP.
Side One:
Bosco's Theme
This is where I live
Shoes, Stockings and Laces
See me sail
where do you live
the big tree sways
I am a bandsman
Windy Day
Double Bubble Trouble
The Shadow Song

Side Two
Mirror Mirror
I'm painting
food, food, food,
the baby who had a balloon
busy bumble bee
the ball of string
ring-a-ding-ding
saw saw saw
ronnie the rhino
paper paper
Bosco's Theme

ahhh the memories.... come flooding back.... quickly followed by a vist to my shrink to tell him/them I now know who owns one of the voices in my head, the one one singing off tune and out of key is........ BOSCO.

Get a good mp3 player (www.digmind.com) DMC 500 is the one I have/use. Place record (large CD shaped Disc but black in colour and one grove going from the outside all in way in to the center in a spiral manner, normally two of these track per disc one each side.) on to record player... now the fun stuff

PRINT OFF THIS PAGE BRING WITH YOU TO THE SHOPS

look at all the cables coming from record player, 7pin din, 5pin din, phono, 3.5 stero jack etc. etc .etc. now one or more of these wires/cables things transfer the music from your record (large CD shaped Disc....) to either an AMP or direct to your speaker.... depends on the model and what way you have your system set up. If you have a good MP3 player it should also allow you to record with it, if it is a very good one then it will have a socket to allow you to plug in a mic or other audio source... remember all those cables with the dust and spider webs all over, well get yourself down to Maplins/Sony or some other hi-fi shop, not extra vision or pcworld etc.. my dead goldfish has more understanding of the diffrence between RAM and ROM, AC power and DC power than those who are paid to work there... right...emmm ya cables, once there ask any member of staff to help, take out your MP3 player explain to the member of staff the type of conection (end of cable part with silver, red, black what's-me-callit) with your left hand flat against the right side of your face with the fingers pointing down. while your right hand trys to describe the cable by drawing it wildly in the air. If you don't gat thrown out of the shop and do in fact get your cables they should work (Maplins staff always seem to know what your looking for no matter how many big words you try to fit into your sentence, and make it sound as if you have been doing it for years) - (don't forget to buy some other cool gadet when your there you will need it some day or so Sonny, Phill, Sean from Dublin and Andrew from Cork keep telling me) Can anyone go in to maplins and just buy the ONE thing they went in for. right at this stage you should have a hand full of cables (an extra 15cent and you would have a bag full) your Mp3 player/recorder, your record (large CD shaped Disc....) and your record player. take two asprin and call me in the morning.. that was a big day out for you you techophille.... now nice and carefully see which wire/cables come from where... the one you are looking for are labeled along the lines of PHONO in /out.. Speakers L/R if this doesn't make any sence to you STOP right now you are going to kill yourself (emmm DARWIN award time will I tell them to go on or to stop) if you can understand all of the above carry on (must contact boards.ie legal and find out am i covered if some one fry's themself or destory's their record player or MP3 player) CAUTION misuse or use of this Article may destory your life/property. (there we go and i thought I wouldn't have a nice title for this post). press record on MP3 and play/start on record player. stop after a few seconds to check if it works. if so carry on. record each song, and there you go or else you could just check below.

NOTICE: Each MP3 player is diffrent as is each record player the above article is because i'm tired you can always check the Help files on your PC (PC is Personal Computer which covers Laptops, IBM compatible machines, note books apples comodre64 etc etc) and hopefully conect your hi-fi to your audio in on your pc find and download a program called LAME along with codec that you may require and play around untill you get the settings right. Check out Google with ref the names of your own system someone has done it before. This is another reason Bosco should be back on Air less people would be working on computers they would all be talking about Bosco... I'm looking for free BLOG space.. this is fun just ranting away..

Hello to the staff of Maplins Dublin and Cork, Sorry Limerick, Galway haven't been over to you yet.. your managers should have warned you about me though.. I think it's on day two before the whole safety lectures.

no Bosco is a boy but a girl did the voice!

Bosco is neither boy or girl, that much was clarified by the original puppeteer before she died.
