Do you listen to the Breakfast Show with enjoyment? For how long per morning? From what time onwards?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.

IOW 'all these morons' means all these who are morons, doesn't it? :-). I reckoned 'all' could not mean less than 3, otherwise it would have been 'both', or be singular. Well, we had been just accused of pedantry…)

Originally posted by Zucchini View PostI never listen. I stopped one Friday when Cowan's show included 13 pieces performed by dead musicians. What's the point of that - I can't go and hear them. They're no use to me. So I haven't even heard The Bird Going Up In The Air song yet..
You mean … you've never heard it? How?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.

Could this really be Radio 3, the station which had once catered for people with ears, brains and taste? Sadly, it was. Then, one morning, all was well again. A miracle cure - the wonderful Skellers, calm, authoritative and erudite, actually letting us enjoy the music. Suddenly I began to feel better.
