Random Irritations

Couldn't agree more with this really. If somebody can't hack a few minor disagreements on a forum then they're better off out of it, and all power to them.

I get that, but some of the comments are pathetic, childish and, sometimes, plain rude.
Childish I can live with, pathetic is just pathetic, but the rude ones are just not necessary.
I guarantee they would not often be said face to face!

Is this the only forum you post on or have ever read? It's incredibly tame here, almost banal compared to many others. My good lady wife used to go on Mumsnet, that place is mental ??????
 
Chris Moyles and Johnny Vaughan on Radio X. They just spout utter garbage whenever they are on, if ever the phrase "love to hear your own voice" was coined for anyone, it would be these two pub bores.
Shame as the station generally plays some decent music but I have to turn off if either of these are on air.

I remember when radio DJs were there to give tidbits about the songs they play as a segue between the music (with the focus on music).

I think mid/late 90s they started getting this sense of self inflation that people wanted to hear them more than the music. Radio 1 became the MTV of the airwaves.

There's stations for talky talky and stations for music surely?

Disclaimer: radio stations tend not to play my "stylr" of music so I don't really listen to them which means the above view might just be as valid as my Euros final ticket made out of crackerbread...

Spotify is the answer to that.

I mainly listen to Radio 6 as it seems to play the whole spectrum of music but in the car I channel hop hence coming across Radio X lol. I'm not fussed about Spotify, I already have all the music I need on my phone and if I want more I can easily get it from *cough* certain sources ?

I never used to listen to the radio at all until I got my car two months ago. I now have Radio X and Magic as the only two stations I've bothered to program in, and flick between those two depending on my mood. I'm never driving far enough to bother connecting my phone up to play my own music, it's normally just 10-15 minute drives for me. The thing that irritates me about Radio X is not the DJs but the apparently extremely limited playlist. Even in those short journeys which I maybe do 3 or 4 a week, I still manage to hear one of the two newest Foo Fighters songs at least two or three times. I like the Foo Fighters but I don't need to hear them that much, especially when the new tracks could have been written in their sleep.
 
Birds in the ducted aircon. 3 times in the last few weeks we’ve had Sparrows peaking through the grills in the lounge and main bedroom. If there’s been a hole for them to get in, we’ve been airconning the planet through the hole too.

Had the fitter out today. 3 dead Sparrows fished out of the ducting.

Had the fitter out today. 3 dead Sparrows fished out of the ducting.

Doing your bit to combat global warming?
