Woman on Radio 4 tonight talking earnestly about how difficult she found it responding to a visit to the North Pole on an ice breaking ship ... through the medium of dance. "I can't imagine even indigenous peoples being able to dance at the North Pole, encumbered by all those heavy clothes". Quite so my dear, I imagine they find more time for a little pen and ink cartouches, or some challenging mixed media work involving snow and ... um... ice.

You're back and blogging, me old chum, gushing with whimsy like a devastated Iraqi oil well. (sump - oil - see what I'm doing here?) That's a liberal education for you. Now what was your post about? Ah yes! There must be some dusty PhD thesis with graphs charting just how much point there is in listening to Radio 4 at various times of the day. The line would never beat zero between the end of 'Start the Week' or 'In Our Time' and the start of the shipping forecast - with its particular nadir achieved through the unutterably bad afternoon plays to those evening programmes (like the one you quote) that seem not to be about anything whatsoever.
Must be like spending an entire day reading my blog.
I love the shipping forecast.
