        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              In a (probably futile) attempt to staunch the flow, maybe I can predict the sacking of this morning's Breakfast presenter? She announced O Fortuna as 'that little known rarity'. Such irony is bound to confuse the typical Breakfast listener and she must now be considered a dissident.

                I had a lie in this morning, I am quite used to Martin. However, I was truly appalled at today's program. Where to start..... the presenter, the babble about a musical map of Britain, the quality of the music. Enough said, I wholly back the sacking of the presenter. I used to complain about to much commentary on Breakfast but at least RC was well informed and knowledgeable. Why don't they bring in Grimmy from Radio 1 at least he can be funny.

                  Unlikely, given her old man is you-know-who. Anyway, she's yoof appeal, innit?

                    The musical map has the whiff of both Classic FM and Blue Peter infantilisation of the nation. "Does little Jimmy want to stick a pin in the map? There's a goooooooooood boy! Well done!"

                      Interactivity. The R3 blog has had 19 replies (most look to be people wanting their local choirs/societies publicised, though I could be wrong).

                      [Comments include:

                      'This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules.'
                      'This page says "email us" but gives no email address.
                      'How often is the map updated? I've tweeted and emailed with details, but nothing has appeared.'
                      'How do we get a blue marker on the map, please?']
                      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.

                        ... the bloody Map!

                        No quality control - just local pride jostling to promote a choral society or whatever - o they must be so proud of this interactivity...

                          I have never wanted interactivity with Radio 3. What I want is unobtrusive professionalism
