F-u-u-u-u-c-k.

He is now off waxing lyrically about 'The Archers" and the tremendous sound quality he now has.

I think life as I know it has ended .......

Well for the benefit of my fellow compatriots who, (like myself) have no idea who or what the "The Archers" are....

I've done a bit of research:
The Archers is a long-running British soap opera broadcast on the BBC's main spoken-word channel, Radio 4. It was originally billed as "an everyday story of country folk", but is now described on its Radio 4 web site as "contemporary drama in a rural setting".[3] With over 16,700 episodes, it is both the world's longest running radio soap and, since the cancellation of the American soap opera Guiding Light in September 2009, the world's longest running soap opera in any format.[4]

The Archers is the most listened to Radio 4 non-news programme,[5] with over five million listeners,[6] and it holds the BBC Radio programme record for the number of times listened to over the Internet, with over one million listeners.[7]
There's a lot more:

Sounds like riveting, on-the-edge-of-your-seat fare....

Just the thing to hold the interests of folks who find a cricket match a thrilling experience....

Here you go Jim!!

Jim and Jill watch Lynda rehearsing the children's maypole dance. Jill remarks that George will be doing a slug patrol again when he's finished. Jim's pleased that Borchester Land has gifted an unused field to the village as a 'Field in Trust'.
There's a whole week worth of that sort of thing on there!!

Why? Why? WHY do you hate me so?

Not only do I get to hear Gob 'Rumpypump' the theme tune every time it comes on, I get the fucking updates on every episode.

Just kill me now.

They do five new ones a week.

That is just an approximate figure. It is bound to be more than that now, or at least it will be out of date come Monday.
Bah!

I'm so sorry, Hen. I sent that iPod with 4700 songs & podcasts preloaded; I didn't realize he'd go all bonkers over a daytime radio soap.



Gob, whilst sharing is caring, not all things must be shared, m'kay?

Quit bugging Hen before she withdraws the offer to put me up for a visit to Oz!

Shouldn't that have come with a spoiler alert Dais? ;)
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

On another note, anyone interested in a paperback copy of John Grisham's The Confession? Not his best work, but if you are anti-death penalty, you'll enjoy it.

(All joking aside, some of the scenes with Ian were very touching.)
