Hello, Ams. Have a pint - Do you think I've wandered off-topic?

Delightfully so, Pabs - don't mind if I do

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

If you are modern and connected, I imagine this can be done "online", these days.

Do you mind?! It was bad enough spilling coffee on my laptop!

I see we have made it into a Grauniad leader. Can we retire now?

Direct-linked from the article, what's more!

Certainly you can't retire - one would hope there'll be a need to welcome an influx of eager, passionate new members with better coffee/computer coordination skills than Ferns!!

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

wot no jazz! no non western musisc? 3 is more than Krassikal Kats and fish slop mincemeat for tea [1s 9d]... how bloody patronising of the Graun .... just as baaaaad as Aunt


do newspapers really still exist? does radio broadcasting? are they relevant? preoccupied with their impending doom? struggling in a futile shot at continuing relevance and appeal .... they are closing down ... in drip after drip of cut back and idiot new strategies based on pepsi accessibility onanisms &c ....

most people spend more time not listening, not watching and certainly not reading, than ever before .... and have resumed not eating, not travelling, and not receiving medical care

Alfie has cycled around London Wall, he knows what it is all about .... ££££££££££££££££££££££££ and their disappearance as the people run out of cash [guess who has it all!]

the day after we launched the big carrier, the national hope for our defence, with an airfix model set midships at the prow, we can assume the end of the Imperium, the final rotting of the extablishment and the swelling rush of the gangster classes to grab all the loot ...

when all else flows plugward why should R3 be excused?

".........always passionate ........."

I think they missed out the word 'vociferous' but that does refer (apparently) exclusively to FoR3 rather than the forum. We did consider not having an internet presence, meeting in secret and not telling anybody what we thought about anything.

....Four letters to The Guardian today about this editiorial, all of them critical in ways we would all agree with, and another forum namecheck from... Alan Brownjohn - surely the notable (and most enjoyable) poet of that name. Wonder if any of the real-name letterwriters are here incognito?

Indeed - he's a long-standing public supporter.
