    it sounds like the cheese + tomato sauce on her eponymous pizza - totally manufactured with more sugar than is good for you

      Hiya Eine Alpensinfonie,

      'Gushing'. It's more of a tidal wave!

        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Clear yr Inbox, ferney - someone wanted to talk to you
            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.

                I was pretty sharp with the edit, though!

                    On the subject of mannered announcers, R3's trailers for the Proms this year have been toe curling. I think it's Adam Buxton, trying to make the transition from comedy to longevity. But I can't believe anyone would speak that way other than intentionally.

                      And MH has just plugged Mary Anne Hobbs show on 6 Music as "wonderfully eclectic - I wouldn't be surprised if she played some Sibelius". Oh come off it. I wonder if MAH will plug MH's show as "likely to play Mumford & Sons"......?

                        I could not agree with you more about Margherita Taylor on CFM. Her ultra soft teddy-bear, scatter cushion and Horlicks style of presenting so full of superlatives is toe-curlingly nauseating. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. How absolutely blissfull". Sadly her late evening slot, when I am usually able to listen, often clashes with Late Junk Shop. What a choice! Thank goodness Margherita Taylor is not on Radio 3.
                        We used to say that about Pet Rock...And look where he is now!

                              As a matter of fact Katie D was extremely competent and fluent in last week's Proms Extra with the formidable trio of Willard White, Janine Jansen and Sakari Oramo. (er, but a bit mannered)
                              Being competent one day doesn't really excuse crass stupidity on another though does it?
                              Not in such a high profile and sought after job.

                              I have KD on ignore, which I find helps avoid more of the crass stupidity, and releases time for other music that she happens to not be presenting.

                              I know we aren't supposed to single out presenters on here. But then again they aren't supposed to make offensive remarks.
                              I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                              I am not a number, I am a free man.

                                ITN newsreader Katie Derham is set to make her radio debut as the presenter of a new weekly show for national radio station Classic FM, writes Georgina Lipscomb
