Hi, folks! Very new newbie here. Seething, impotent rage at the rapid slide of R2.5/2.25 led me to Google my way to your wonderful site. I've been a staunch listener to R3 and an ale drinker for forty years and I don't know what has me saddened more: the dilution of quality programming on this station or the fact that we are losing 16 pubs a week!

And will you please welcome the return of Mr Des Pond of Slough, late of the old place, who has finally found us! We look forward to some more fun

All right, he's Despina dello Stagno, but we all know he's really ... Des Pond (of Slough). For one thing his bio mentions that he was a cub - not a Brownie!Originally posted by Anna View PostI remember Des, or sometimes Despina! He/she was great value
I do hope he'll join doversoul in boosting the Early Music discussion.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.Comment

Hello. I joined when this forum when it was originally set up. Since then I've changed my email address and forgotten several passwords so I thought I'd better start again from scratch. My old username was Parddu and before that I was MrsAnonIII on the old BBC Radio 3 message boards.
Merry Christmas to all.Comment
