An in-definitive list of all URY Memes and in jokes.
| 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 five year old engineering project so we can talk to the office and studio 2 from studio 1 soon, I promise. |
| 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. |
