    The lovely thing about moving these threads down to the Basement is that ... casual visitors can't read them
    Given that Radio Three has regular (oft-reviled) news bulletins, and also that all the above topics feature there from time to time, it can be argued that these threads relate to Radio 3's output.

    I note that m'learned friend does not mention the Murdoch: Ouf! thread

      Oh, that old thing! I'd quite forgotten it!

      Anyway, I'm not saying it's not all right to discuss these issues; I'm saying it is all right to flag up music and arts programmes on Sky (classical music being Radio 3's 'core proposition' whereas news is of considerably less importance).
      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.

        My goodness, Amateur, you really are stretching things there!!

        I wasn't aware that football was a feature of Radio 3, but apparently you would beg to differ!!

        I could equally say that because BSkyB has been mentioned on the Radio 3 news bulletins that it is therefore entirely appropriate to discuss the output of Sky Arts.

        Why can't you do us all a favour:- just gracefully admit that you are in the wrong and go back to your beloved Leveson thread??

            What a childish response

                  Oh dear.

                  Your argument in favour of Platform 3 type threads being Radio 3 related just because a subject such as football gets an occasional mention on the news was simply nonsensical.

                  But as so often, when you're stuck for a counter-argument, you resort to insult and belittlement.

                  And you say I am childish??

                    Have you been saving that up, ams?

                    It's a tremendous clip
                    "...the isle is full of noises,
                    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      Mr Pee I confess that I resorted to a parody of your frequent response.

                      The fact that you didn't spot it is both striking and quite sad

                        The fact that you think it to be a parody is sadder still.

                          Absolutely brilliant. I think 'Dad's Army' had something similar.

                                Argument? What argument? Just saying hello.

                                Still, if you want arguments, perhaps I should use one of yours -
