The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[Serial_Apologist]

Hmm. Skimming through I see he wants shot of Though for the Day. While I certainly switch off the c. 05:45 Prayer for the Day, I always find TftD worth a listen. One does not need to be a theist to have a spiritual aspect to one's life. I have not tried Radio 3's Breakfast for years. Perhaps I should now do so.

The problem is that TftD almost always has a deist bias. The British Humanist Society has been banging on about this imbalance for decades.

A fair point, but just as I do not consider the EU anything like perfect, yet think it a major mistake to be giving the big three* free range by leaving it, so I find TftD worthwhile despite feeling it would be greatly improved by it having contributions fro Humanists and other non-deists.

I want to approve wholeheartedly of Georgia Mann, who I think has almost cracked it. I just wish she was less arch. Obviously as one among many listeners I’m entitled to a bespoke Breakfast, as are we all.

Mine's Eggs Benedict, thanks very much muzzer!

I do like Petroc Trelawney and Georgia Mann. Not too bad either of them.

Eggs

Nice one, cloughie.

Plate of Eggs B for me too, please.

[BBMmk2]

Boiled, fried or scrambled, or even poached?

Eggs à la Spaniel - as my mum used to call the Spanish-type dish!

Sounds like a really good dog’s breakfast!

If the former would stop gasping and punctuate his speech, I might start to like him.

Really? I hadn’t noticed!

Sorry - are there TWO Petroc Trelawneys? Or does my radio cleverly eliminate gasps and add punctuation?

[oddoneout]

I too find the lack of punctuation(or intelligent reading) tiresome, especially when it makes a nonsense of the information being conveyed, as has happened.

[french frank]

Sorry - are there TWO Petroc Trelawneys?

Surely, there is not even one Petroc Trelawney who presents Breakfast on Radio 3?

Anyway, De introducibus non disputandum.
