It's my habit to start cooking dinner at 18:00. At this point I don the old headphones and listen to whatever scifi/fantasy radio broadcast Radio 4 extra has to offer. Could be Vincent Price, could be an old <em>Journey into Space</em> from the 50s. At the moment it's <em>I am Legend</em>, a 2006 reading of the actual 1950s book which is far more engaging than the Will Smith "I am sexy" version. Except it isn't/wasn't. It was the SAME FUCKING NEWS BROADCAST that was on ALL BBC Radio channels, as the BBC rolls onto it's tummy so the Boris party won't hate it.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42768.9&return_msg=42768.8" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42768.9"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42768_10"></a><div class="message" id="message_42768_10"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time"> 9 Apr 2021 19:19</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Apr 2021 20:05"></span></span> <span class="message_count">10 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.10">42768.10</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.8#a42768_9" target="_self">42768.9</a></div> <div class="message_body"> presumably we'll all be getting refunded a days license fee?</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42768.10&return_msg=42768.8" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42768.10"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42768_11"></a><div class="message" id="message_42768_11"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time"> 9 Apr 2021 19:19</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: koswix <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Apr 2021 19:19"></span></span> <span class="message_count">11 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.11">42768.11</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.8#a42768_10" target="_self">42768.10</a></div> <div class="message_body"> oh, and even CBBC had a double length extra special Newsround to make sure the younglings don't miss out on their indoctrination either.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42768.11&return_msg=42768.8" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42768.11"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42768_12"></a><div class="message" id="message_42768_12"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time"> 9 Apr 2021 20:50</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Apr 2021 21:43"></span></span> <span class="message_count">12 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.12">42768.12</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.8#a42768_9" target="_self">42768.9</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Usually listen to BBC Radio 6 Music when I'm WFH.

After a nice walk, I decided to see what had been happening in the world by popping on BBC News 24. Turned on the TV to find out that Terry Wogan had died.<br /> <br /> "That's shit" I thought to myself. Half an hour later, I had no idea if anything else had happened in the world, they were still going on about Terry and interviewing the sister of his friend's tennis partner to get her thoughts.<br /> <br /> I do hate when they hijack the news just to go on and on and on about one story. Yes, things like this deserve to be covered - probably to a bigger degree than some stories. But they do like to take the piss and ignore anything else that may also have happened.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42768.15&return_msg=42768.8" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42768.15"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42768_16"></a><div class="message" id="message_42768_16"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">10 Apr 2021 07:11</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Dave!! <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 10 Apr 2021 09:47"></span></span> <span class="message_count">16 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.16">42768.16</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.8#a42768_15" target="_self">42768.15</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yes, and this is exactly the time to keep eyes peeled for "controversial" government news being released.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42768.16&return_msg=42768.8" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42768.16"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42768_17"></a><div class="message" id="message_42768_17"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">10 Apr 2021 12:26</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Dave!! <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 10 Apr 2021 13:55"></span></span> <span class="message_count">17 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.17">42768.17</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42768.8#a42768_15" target="_self">42768.15</a></div> <div class="message_body"> One senses they have amassed a trove of such material (Phil's obit) over the years, and they want to get their money back out of this sizable investment.<br /> <br /> Wait 'til queenie dies, you ain't seen nuthin' yet!<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 10 Apr 2021 12:27 by DSMITHHFX</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42768.17&return_msg=42768.8" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42768.17"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="42768.18" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
