David Mellor's Classic FM show

[vinteuil]

his apéritif - Green Charteuse.

.

... "people may say what they like about the decay of Christianity; the religious system that produced green Chartreuse can never really die."

Digestif rather than apéritif here - and always the chartreuse vieillissement exceptionellement prolongé (vep), please.

The Enc: Brit: usually the Ninth Edn (1875 et seqq) plus the New Volumes.

Sobranie? - purleaze! - tho' in the bad old days the occasional H Upmann. Not since the arrival of Mme V, however...

Digestif rather than apéritif here

Definitely. Houseguest with indigestion was miraculously cured one evening recently by a modest application of GC

Thanks for the information. She read Economics, worked for Texaco - nothing wrong with either of those, but I don't see much evidence of involvement in the Arts. (Whereas I have seen at least one minister at the Proms - but he's busy rescuing the NHS.)

[Thropplenoggin]

Somewhat astonishingly, he has elected to marry this jacket with his apéritif - Green Charteuse.

Is he never wrong?

It never ceases to amaze the way some of you people twist everything you possibly can back onto your favourite hobby-horses. This thread started off as a perfectly well-intentioned and good natured recommendation of a radio programme that I found enjoyable and that I thought other forumites might find interesting, however you have managed to turn it into an anti-Murdoch rant once again.

A seventeen word "rant"? Frugality Ferney, that's me: a novel in a sigh.

Roll on floor laughing

Thanks - I might have gone to my grave not knowing

[EdgeleyRob]

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, or a blind prejudice. What David Mellor may or may not have got up to in his private life, or indeed his previous career, makes not the slightest difference when I listen to a radio show. After all, if you followed that line of reasoning, just think of all the composers whose music one could never listen to.

Well he certainly seems to know his stuff re classical music on record.

Roll on floor laughing - together with PMSL an acronym of choice amongst youngsters apparently, Whether it comes from the antics of Peppa Pig and friends the mind boggles .

Thanks. Now what's PMSL? Pre-Menstrual Sociopathic Leanings?

I presume your request is taking it - but to help out the even older members of the board it is to do with weak bladder control caused by laughter

[Flosshilde]

I think I prefer my version

& I suspect some of the 'even older' members don't need to be laughing to experience the condition in your version.

[Serial_Apologist]

the even older members of the board

thanks for the explanation, Frances.

If I was a dry cleaner, I'm not sure I would have wanted Alex as the "face" of my organisation.
As for listening to David Mellor, however good his show may be....i just don't think I could, really.

No offence, Dave !

ts - is your view of DM at all tempered by his reign on 6-0-6? Wasn't he dire?

Yes, but funnily enough I did make the effort to listen to the show in those days!

[MrGongGong]

Surely THIS



is the REAL DM ?

[EdgeleyRob]

Yes, but funnily enough I did make the effort to listen to the show in those days!

Me too Alison,it was so bad I just had to listen.

I reckon his Sunday cd review show is the complete opposite,it's very good indeed.
