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.

If you have been, thanks for listening to me, John Ebdon, back with you tomorrow. Join me [John Ebdon (optional)], same time, same place.
If people turned on just when he was finishing, it's no good saying 'Thanks for listening' to them, because they haven't been.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

I am not sure what "a BBC insider" might be, but it seems to carry negative connotations, and Richard Tarleton strikes me as a very positive contributor to these boards.

Originally posted by Don Petter View PostWell, he did say 'But as a BBC insider I imagine the sort of individuality they personified would have been anathema to you' which seems pretty clear to me - Are you sure? Perhaps he can confirm or deny.
Haaah! The Eternal Breakfast Debate .... :-)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.

"My CD of the week". Well I chose it and I've decided which tracks to play from it and I wrote all my scripts and chose all the other music and worked out all the timings - I've worked quite hard to make this the seamless smooth-running finished product that it is. I didn't just saunter into the studio 30 seconds before transmission in my bowtie and dinner jacket, with everything worked out and arranged for me. I'm not a mere continuity announcer you know.
