My 2022 'rage goes retro' requests

Hey all,

I have been emailing rage each month this year in 2021 throughout October, November and December with my Countdown, Rock Arena e.t.c. requests.

I thought I would share what I have been suggesting to rage on my Forum for 'rage goes retro' 2022.

I guess because rage are yet again playing 'rage goes retro' in February and not in January with the extended 5th Saturday night now lost, I probably won't see as many of my requests I wish :cry:

I do hope however that I get a few pieces from my rather long list. I always figure, it is better to submit a long list rather than a short one, so it is in their system.

Emailing rage your requests every month for three months is a row is probably a good way to annoy them and have your requests ignored.

Actually, NO.

I have been doing this for the years and most years I get at least 5 Episodes played for me every January. Last year, rage played 4 Episodes on weekend 1 which were ALL my requests.

And years previous, I always got at least 4 to 5 Episodes I requested. So they were obviously not annoyed.

So if you are so influential have you ever requested an episode that someone else is desperate to see but you were not?

Do you have a problem?

The fact of the matter is that rage have played many Episodes for me except for this year with only one from last week with The Nolans from 1981. So yes, I do definitely have some influence, is that so bad? ... You sound rather bitter about it.

I at least have got rage to play many unplayed Episodes by taking the initiative because I am passionate about Countdown.

It's better than sitting on my a r s e like some and not requesting anything, by me requesting every year, i have gained many episodes I have wanted over the years.

And NO, I wouldn't ask for an episode someone else is desperate for if I am not interested in it, why should I? ... That is not up to me. Others can do that, I am not their do others requesting work.

It's not hard to email rage with what you want, just like I do.

Very strange statement "CLip Magnet". Anyone can ask Rage as many time as likes to add something to "wish list". In the end of the day it is up to them what they will choose to broadcast, we can only have some favourites titles.

Mmm odd I contacted them a few weeks back to request some Flashez segments. Perhaps they were getting too many messages?
