The BSkyB argument thread

[amateur51]

Ah, yes. Now I was going to mention that Leveson Inquiry thread. And the 'We're all in this together' one. And the Windies Test Series. The Round Ball Game? Stormy Weather? Or indeed anything on BBC Four.

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).

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

It's the only language he understands

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

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.

[Mr Pee]

Wow, that's quite an argument Flossie. Well done.

[Flosshilde]

Argument? What argument? Just saying hello.

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