    and lovely it is too Clive, i find Then He kissed Me by The Crystals as irresistible, and come to think of it The Shirelles and Will You Love me Tomorrow ... i have brass pins stuck in my heart for the heart breaking encounters they call to mind ... perhaps i should phone petroc eh
    According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

        ... yep, for me this Simon Hoban - "radio Merseyside drive-time presenter" with his 'matey, shirtsleeves style', as kernelbogey rightly puts it - is so far the lowest Radio 3 has got.

        Here I really give up.

          I have yet to be conscious early enough to sample his shirtsleeves. I don't see that changing!
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Is it plain shirtsleeves stylee or are there braces and hugely-knotted knitted silk ties prominently involved?

                  ... coupled with a few suggestions for alternative places to stick it!

                  If it was a weather map, it would be those places where the sun ain't shining!

                      relax, Cals.
                      Play some Faure , cook curry, watch the cup final, drink wine.
                      You know it makes sense.

                          The Gok and the Wan of the Forum... Or is that Trinny and Susannah?

But no - the back announcement had the flavour of Cfm - matey, shirtsleeves style - and as the presenter took us into a phone-in about brass bands, I thought 'like local radio'. And, indeed, Radio Merseyside's Drive Time programme is Simon Hoban's home turf. Well - I turned it off seconds later.
                              Kernel: would this be the estimable gentleman who graced us with Tannhauser and Riesling as Tan-howser and Rise-ling in the space of a few seconds?

                              An excellent start to the weekend, I thought
                              I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                                I'm just listening now (quality control). I fail to understand why they would give this job to someone who gives a fine impression of knowing nothing about the music, to an extent that wasn't true back in the days when announcers were reading scripts prepared for them by production staff. As a radio presenter he presumably knows how to work the audio equipment. And lives locally.
                                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.
