This is shocking. The government believe that they will raise money through the auction of banwidth - they made a lot due to the 3G auction, but the next one will not be the same.The great thing about the world service is that you can receive it with cheap/primative technology. Although I do question some of the reporting, I still think it is less biased than some news agencies.So much for blighty being a bastion of free speech and democracy.
I was driving in my car on the way to the dojo when I fell onto MW 648 on the radio..iit is now Radio Caroline, the legendary 60s pirate station. They were playing Jethro Tull's Living in the Past..

It’s taken Radio Caroline 53 years to get an AM licence and it was perceived as a threat to the BBC for many years.

Something like that would not happen

1) because I respect people’s privacy

And

2) because “stiff” is a non sequitur in this case.

Have you ever heard of Platonic relationships?

That is just friendship plain and simple - may be just online or maybe IRL.

Here's another non sequitur.

This song has nothing to do with anything on this thread or any other thread active right now.

But it popped into my head anyway so here you go.
One of the best bands of the '80s.

Hangs a naked light over your face shines electric ness upon your bed
If it wasn't for your stiff little fingers nobody would know you were dead
You never really did much living you mainly sat and watched your TV
I think it had you on remote control ticking over nicely
But you screwed up this time now you got to start from the bottom again
It's a serious game when you got to start from the bottom again
I want to be dead the optician said 20 20 but you stumbled round like you were blind
You never saw beyond your own 4 walls it's a shame you never saw the light
But you screwed up this time now you got to start from the bottom again
It's a serious game when you got to start from the bottom again
When you got to start from the bottom again
When you got to start from the bottom again
When you got to start from the bottom again
I'm gonna start now

I'm with Morrissey, famous for his vegetarianism, precursor to *veganism'?, among other things.
