I have popping for my occasional top up on grouchy old codgers and find I am bitterly disappointed, a R3 presenter doing strictly come dancing, ( which I am lead to believe is a popular television programme M,lud) and not a single genuine grumpy old man/woman complaining about the fall of western civilisation, falling moral standards, this is the end of life on planet earth as we know it,etc etc Come back Ed Reardon thats all I can say.
Personally 40-1 is worth a punt !

I could scarcely believe my ears and switched off immediately.
One wonders what garbled horrows we will hear next. I think the general tone is entended to sound 'cool' and 'savy.Last edited by Stanfordian; 19-08-15, 14:56.

But it was 'One-trick pony', right enough. And Osmo Vänskä is no Gilbert E Kaplan, let's face it … He's, like, a real pro!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.

Mark how often "kicking off" or "kicks off" is used during programmes. My time with R3 is very limited these days but I hear this phrase nearly every time I tune in so one wonders how often it is used in a full 24 hours. It is a favourite of KD (no surprise there) but is now utilised by many others. One wonders what ever happened to "begin" or "start" or "open"?O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!
