    Ah, but don't forget that Zucchini is the Forum's resident Wowbagger. It's part of his charm.

      Many dozens very much appreciate it here midst the pit heaps LMcD .... I too find more than a hint of the schoolroom .... Skellers is much more relaxed about such suggestions ... the other day in response to An die Musik, D 547 with Dame Felicity Lott ..... Thank You For The Music by Abba seemed a not infrequent suggestion to which IS responded by saying he didn’t think Dame Felicity had yet made a cover version ... When the “winner” Purcell’s Music for a while was disclosed one of its supporters has linked it with Thank You For The Music, saying the Purcell was almost as good ... to which Skellers replied that the Purcell was much better ...... I am sure ff would feel that CBH, once of this parish, would have ditched Henry and gone with Benny and Bjorn (?)

        Phew - it's nice to have official permission to continue to post the occasional witticism, not least because it's my preferred way of dealing with/ignoring Br*x*t.

          If you'd heard her giggling away with Georgia Mann on Tuesday about the absolutely hilarious thing that happened when Georgia said it was Monday whereas in fact it was Tuesday, but Suzy was in the car on the way to Broadcasting House and oh my it was all so hilarious, you would not think that childishness could be a criticism levelled by Suzy.

                  Although I wasn't at home to hear it, I've just discovered that my suggestion for today's 'follow-on' piece was chosen by Ian Skelly. It seemed to me a good idea to follow one ritual dance with some more.

                      The silly follow-on playlist game has altered to avoid people suggesting the sensible answers - the next movement/aria/dance in the work from which it was bleeding chunked.

                      Now they choose endings of works to avoid their embarrassment. But it all contributes to the constant downgrading of Radio 3.

                            I used to like Your 100 Best Tunes - just 1 hour per week on Radio 2, and no idle gossip from Alan Keith. Now it's 7 hours a day on Radio 3, but with the nauseating drivel added, plus party games.

                              Hear, hear. My wife is extremely bright and acutely observant. She rarely listens to Radio 3 preferring the spoken word on Radio 4. Happenchance the other day there was little on Radio 4 and so she roamed the airwaves coming across Ian Skelly exhorting the remaining listeners to partake of the puerile, pointless and pathetic playlist. She rarely comments on stuff on the Radio but did later ask me if Radio 3 had completely gone downhill like that "daft playlist thing".

                              Says it all, really.
