Did you want to tell us somethng? I'd be interested to see your views on Causal Set Theory and Quantum Relativity, for instance (just to get the ball rolling...) -

I believe an update negated the initial comment :-)It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

Were you thinking of Thinking Allowed (which was on after your post) or Friday's "Free Thinking" on "The illusion of time, the summer solstice & the philosophy of comedy"?
BTW "On Your Farm", which followed Thinking Allowed, was good this morning - who can resist Welsh sheep & sheep dogs?

Yes, I wondered if it was 'Thinking Allowed', dear old Laurie Taylor's programme. But no, there is a Radio4 programme called 'Free Thinking'. Hopefully ucanseetheend will return to us one day.Comment

That IS R3's Free Thinking - moved to R4 along with The Verb in Sam Jackson's refreshing makeover.Originally posted by smittims View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

On R4 Free Thinking has slid into being just another multi-topic diluted discussion programme.
On R3 where there were more episodes (that once a week) some were entirely dedicated to single theme that fascinated the presenter, and often fascinated me.
Those curated by Matthew Sweet were really quite sweet.

....as that Irish comedian used to say....(Frank Carson)...."it's the way I tell em"....Free Thinking was a programme that needed to be on R3 to keep the spoken quota up....but in fact (I think) would have been better on R4 - to swim in the stream with other programmes of the like, so to be automatically heard (as many do) when folk do not turn off immediately after another programme.....Originally posted by Forget It (U2079353) View Postbong chingComment

Absolutely! There was far more focus on arts and culture when on R3.Now it's political and less funOriginally posted by Forget It (U2079353) View Post"Perfection is not attainable,but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence"Comment

It's R3's opinion (aka BBC-speak).Originally posted by ucanseetheend View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

It was probably in tended to be "re-freshing", or bringing back in such a way as to seem fresh after first freshing up in the staff conveniences - is that a neologism? Anyway, it's why I prefer writing hyphens after prefixes - they make things clearer as well as looking more elegant on the page. "Reuse" - anyone? What's rerz when it's at home?Originally posted by french frank View Post
