    A little learning is a dangerous thing:

    On today's R3 Facebook puffery for In Tune:

    "IN TUNE TODAY: Join Sean for Petits fours - choice morcels from the Brodsky Quartet" (my italics)

    Yes, I know morcel was probably Old English but somehow I suspect the author of this bon mot would be unaware of the etymology.
    O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!

      including on Saturday. i can't begin to say how irritating I find it to be enjoying some of the precious hours of the week, (Saturday morning), and R3 want to turn me into a music academic there and then. I love learning about music, and absorbing the expertise that others have to offer.............but not on Saturday morning !!

      CDR is a really specialist show, and that is all to the good, (given the race to the bottom elsewhere in the schedules), but I cannot for the life of me understand why it is scheduled when it is. Maybe others disagree..........I frequently resort to "sounds of the sixties" on R2. I know, I know............but its Saturday morning !!I want to hear music while we put the house back together after the weeks exertions........and maybe something uplifting to send me on the way to the footy !!
      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

      I am not a number, I am a free man.
