    Depends what you mean by 'fashion'. I would mistrust it if it has a capital 'F' (except at the beginning of a sentence, of course).
    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.

        No, I personally am not on Facebook or Twitter in any manifestation of myself and think I'll steer clear of them for the moment. I didn't even conduct brass bands when it was 'fashionable' ...

              This is fwittering my time away when I should be trying to work out why I was thanked a couple of posts back.

              Welcome, anyway

                          Enjoy tomorrows show, Cali.

                          In fact, I might listen in to see if you have tweeted.*

                          I suppose even "Readybrek with SMP" better than the rumble of the London traffic, or the honking horns on Boris Bikes.

                            ... the Breakfast Show on Saturday gave us a song from 'South Pacific' and the theme tune to 'Superman'.

                            I'm enjoying the silence of the mornings here nowadays....

                              I am afraid like many have keep straying back to Breakfast. The tweets, texts, and call ins are annoying. But for me Uri Cain yesterday was enough. I know many like his style and I don't mind variation and free improvisation but I just cannot get or tolerate his music.

                                If you did, you'd probably catch up with a few of BBM's chosen titbits!

                                Fortunately I pedal off after the 9 o'clock transition into some sort of adult programming...

                                The attempts to grapple with Petroc's Sugar Puffs are prompted simply by a desire to have a bit of music around during the morning routine. Switching to a recorded TTN (or this month, the Heffer Saturday afternoon prog) is an easy alternative.
