URY Memes

An in-definitive list of all URY Memes and in jokes.

Memes

Meme	Explanation
Christmas on my Face (A terrible case of Xmas)	A smash hit URY christmas single from 2008 written by Rob Watts and Steve Gardner [1]
Christmas Endeavours in general	They are so numerous there's a whole page about them. Basically we embarrass ourselves every year in the name of Xmas
'There's no News'	[quoting Anthony Williams] 'Came from a Roses where the news fader had been re-purposed for something. Helen M came in to do handover to the OB (this is when you had to read out the news intro text yourself), and it went something like this... "*this* is URY News.... there's no news!"
Wives	The name given for our roll up banners. Originally known as 'Station Manager's Wife' as it is the only thing an SM can be trusted with at an OB
DO YOU LIKE VANBRUGH JAZZ?	From a failed OB of Vanbrugh Jazz in 2014 where Alex Light accosted innocent people
'Black Christmas'	At the same Vanbrugh Jazz OB as 'DO YOU LIKE VANBRUGH JAZZ' the jazz band decided to do a rendition of 'White Christmas' but reworked as 'Black Christmas'. It was a bit racist. We had to fade down the feed.
'News is Happening'	How every News and Sport update must begin at Station Meetings, started by George Lane.
Superb Owl	Live coverage of Super Bowls, by people who do not know anything about American Football. Usually involves way too much nudity that is generally acceptable for radio.
Alex Light	The biggest meme of all
Talkback	Someone will finish this eight year old engineering project so we can talk to the office and studio 2 from studio 1 soon, I promise. In the meantime, mad, occasionally violent gesturing through the window will have to suffice.
Anthony William's Flute	From an infamous Alex Light house party where Anthony consumed way too much alcohol through a flute.
Ainsley Harriot	A station wide obsession instigated by Qumarth Jash. Ainsley's face would frequently appear as the background to guest pc and an emoji was even made for him when we made a ury slack.
Biscuit News	How did this win an award?
Unbelievable Scenes	A phrase constantly said by Joshua Kerr to describe sport, antics and anything happening at all, ever
Other [insert branded item here] are available	We take impartiality very seriously here at URY
EWA (Engineers Without Attitude)	When a band bailed on URY Sessions, Jed Fulwell, Marco Bolt, Peter Rogers and Sam Merryweather stepped up to the plate and performed arguably the worst/best session in URY history. They also returned for a surprisingly excellent come-back at the Cover Your Ears event.
