Close enough. Radio Caroline was a pirate radio station based aboard a small ship that was anchored off the coast of the UK back in the 70s, and so could transmit outside of the UK's (then) archaic controls. I have a 3 CD set kept as MP3s on iTunes and was listening last night as I sat reading email in a hotel room near London. The Port was in the back of the Land Rover - a Christmas present to a colleague that never made it. The peanuts I grabbed from home before I left. I had to be up at 5.30 am to meet film this man: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventry_warwickshire/3531667.stm> as he returned to the UK after rowing across the Atlantic.... So the answer to this week's CAW is that those three things mean sad old git having a party.
