    Ian Skelly Tweets

    I have never heard such nonsense as IS read out listeners' tweets following the performance of the last movement of Haydn's "Bear" Symphony. Haven't people anything better to do than to pretend to be amusing? It's absolutely pathetic!

    Encouraging people to engage in this sort of nonsense is a cheap form of market research aimed at 'profiling' the audience, and also assures the presenter and producer that somebody's actually listening.

      Whilst I share your irritation, I'm tempted to say that the last two sentences of your post are often word for word in my mind when I read the strings of competitive strenuous punning that sometimes seem to pass for humour on this site.

        You're not behind the door, underthecounter, when it comes to giving in to temptation.

          Well with Lent approaching, I'm succumbing to all available temptations while I have the chance.

            IS used to be a breath of fresh air, presenting without all this rubbish.

            Incidentally, we have several forumites who encourage these shenanigans by participating.

                  As obviously a twit alone, I appreciate both the humour of IS and his listener and the assembled Forumites .....

                        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.

                          Shhh frenchie - underthecountertenor may right now be burrowing subcutaneously for any possible pun implications in that!

                            The thing about tweeting is, of course, that the tweeter is sharing her/his views with those who follow him/her, and with anyone who may follow #radiothree. So it is not wholly unlike this forum....

                            I have a twitter account, which I have stopped using (see wristwatches thread #35). Twitter is another way of wasting time.

                              I very much enjoy wasting time by reading Tweetery threads on this forum even when I am not taking part
