Radio 6. Virtually unlistenable now.
Flat roof, blocked gutter, swimming pool in the kitchen, soggy ceiling, new roof required, nuff said.
Bummer
Daytime is utter shit now - a putrid mashup of R1 and R2. I stopped listening once Craig Charles got the afternoon, and the rest are equally fucking shit. Evenings are still fairly good, but for how much longer.
Only R3 left now, and that’s been going dumbed-downhill for years. WAY too much chit-chat nowadays: PUT SOME FUCKING MUSIC ON YOU CUNTS!
A colleague described R3 as a bunch of pretentious cunts talking shit about music.
Sadly- for the most part- that’s true.
are you sure he wasn’t talking about the Steve Hoffman forum?
Increasingly, it’s not even about music (which I don’t mind too much, as it’s sometimes enlightening), now a lot of it’s womby-stuff and middle-class childhood ‘traumas’, and me, me, me-yap - all the usual hyperprivileged mouthsturbation that R4 used to have an exclusive on…
FUCK OFF!!!
Did a drive yesterday and had it on,so much utter shite that seems to target the young.
It seems to have forgotten the middle aged and old bastards that liked it 20 years ago.
Boom radio is calling you
Radio Paradise?
Need to experiment
Truth is, us MAOBs all want to hear interesting/quality new music - not just reassuring blasts from the past - but the BBC seems to major only on mass-market dross no matter the era.
In fairness, they do need to attract younger listeners. Playing stuff that we like, may well not do that.
Not everyone has such sophisticated tastes as you and I.
My cockpunch goes to Yodel parcel delivery company…
I was being sent a new modem from Virgin Media ,ordered last Thursday …Confirmation arrived by Email early Friday with a tracking option from Yodel it also stated that the parcel was arriving that day …So I waited in …kept checking the tracking which still stated arriving that day …It got to 7.pm so I changed the option to leave at my neighbours house …No parcel arrived that day so next day Saturday I checked again as I had got a confirmation email from Yodel thanking me for letting them know of the change …I again waited in till 6.30 pm frustrated I changed the delivery to pickup from depot of which I again received a confirmation email giving me details of times etc to pickup from …
On Sunday late afternoon a knock on my door and a gentleman was holding a parcel from Virgin …he said the Yodel driver had left it on his step ,he checked his ctv and it showed the driver just dumping the parcel ,no knock on door or doorbell rang …the guy tried to bring it to me both Friday and Saturday nights as he worked both days …I took the parcel after thanking him etc…
Tuesday I had parcelled up the old modem to return it to VM …I had a list of outlets to return it from but decided I would take it to Yodel depot …I showed the collection email to the sourfaced woman on the desk who immediately went to find the parcel …she came back 15 mins later saying I should go back home as the driver had it on his van …I stated that he can’t have as I received it via the above …She was livid stating I had wasted 30 mins of her time …I made her listen to the facts concerning my delivery and their email app not worth a toss …No apology given by her just went on about me wasting 15 mins of her time i retaliated by saying it was just reward for them wasting 48 hours of my time …tosspots! To crown it all she also my parcel wasn’t labelled to be return , I showed her the address label which I was about to apply… she left the counter in a huff and came back a short while later to which was a very frosty meeting she passed me gadget for me to type in my email address to confirm that I had left the parcel …anyway my left hand tremored and shook a lot mainly due to encounter had set my Parkinson’s symptoms off .It took about 10 mins to type in … She never said a word at all during this time only as another customer appeared …I felt like I got some revenge even if it was only a small way
One of those ’ you should be grateful that we are here ’ companies, regardless of their cockups, ignorance and excuse the pun, failure to deliver. I despise their crass ignorance and arrogance, 'tis quite an art.
That is shocking Micky. I would be raging for weeks if I had been treated like that.
Squirrels, bought a squirrel proof bird feeder (my arse ). First time out they managed to destroy the locking clasp, this morning--------’
Shake it and the seed falls out, fun watching them problem solve but could cost a small fortune in bird seed.
They don’t seem to like my fat balls.
