Radio 4 is like a mythical creature to me, one that will make me happy when nothing else can. It's the pink sparkly unicorn of radio stations - all brain porn and talk fluff. I love it. Have you tried their comedy? Their afternoon plays? Their book programmes? I thought they were only to be enjoyed in the UK, or online on a quiet evening at home. Not so. Not bloody so.
I had been told Radio 4 was on LW, and since my car radio only has FM and AM, I assumed that meant no Radio 4. Until Babes was all "But LW and AM are the same thing, just on different parts of..." (that's when my brain switched off and I started to bang my head off the table in despair). No one had told me! Babes "just thought I knew." Yeah - bad thing to assume about me, about all things technical. Most of the time, I don't know. And he should be aware of that by now, especially after "copy-paste shortcutgate" and the time I found out - going down a hill in Scotland - that you CAN brake while using the clutch. (The laughs we had over that one!)
I have become completely paranoid. I'm wondering what else you're all not telling me.
- Does the weather have a thermostat?
- Do children have an off-switch?
- Will doing laundry actually kill me?
- Can I opt out of summer time?
- Does Obama love me back?

No.
ReplyDeleteSadly not.
Yes it possibly could..by falling off the mount.
Yes, go the southern hemisphere in your summer.
Possibly, but do you love him?
I can't get the radio in my car to go above 98.7. Japanese car. Imported FROM Japan. Piece of crap.
I want to know
ReplyDelete- is there a point that men will start to pick stuff off the floor?
- Can you call the remote control and get it to tell you where it is?
- can you log onto the Disqus comment system without having to enter 1001 bits of information?
So many questions. And if you know how to get our car stereo working at all that would be good too (preferably before we drive back across Europe next week). x
So many questions: how do I turn the car radio OFF? Will winter ever end this year? Why do my cat and dog need to be with me when I use the bathroom, and then fight when I am unable to move and intervene? How do other people always seem to know when the clocks are going back/forwards?
ReplyDeleteI love radio 4 - radio by bed was tuned in accidentally to radio 2 last week and we woke up to a nutty sara kennedy who really should be put out to pasture by now. It made us both grumpy having to listen to her inane burble but I couldn't move my sleepy fingers across the dial to retrieve John Humphreys. It was horrible. Also someone should've told us 15 years ago as we drove through the Nevada desert in baking car with no air con that the button ...which said AC meant... air con......duh! One side of me was almost scorched by then.
ReplyDeleteMen...what are they like!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course kids have an off switch...it's called sleep.
Hmmm - and will they ever invent a self-unloading dishwasher?
ReplyDeleteI wonder.
Have not commented for ages on your posts, someone turned my 'off' button to, err, 'off' funnily enough!
LCM x
I had a post birth hormone induced misery fit when I realised the shower head in our shower had higher settings, and I could have used them in labour... WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL MEEEEE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, why do they do that?! I'm sure we don't do it back to them!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend my mum discovered (after owning the same dishwasher for six years) that it has a 'soak' setting. I can only imagine what that feels like.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA that's awesome. I want that car. It sounds glorious.Everytime I'm reminded of your crush on Obama I laugh my brains out. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteyes - but it lies
ReplyDeleteyes - but it;s broken
yes yes and yes! that top you simply MUST iron at the bottom of the pile will cause the entire mountain to fall on you, kinda like an avalanche
yes you can - wrap yourself in wooly jumpers and leave the kids in an empty school
yes - but dont tell his wife
The pot of gold and the rainbow. Did they tell you that one, or do you still think people go to offices between 9.00 and 5.00?
ReplyDeleteToo funny, I love Radio 4 too!
ReplyDeleteThe off switch is called a TV and it is in another room from where you sit.
ReplyDeleteObama does love you back>
happy you got your programs.
ReplyDeleteyou're right, there's this entire layer of things we just don't know.
scary. but sometimes a wonderful surprise.
Please can you let me know if they do have an off switch
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd like to know if there's a way to unlock that extra hour in the day that other people seem to have that they get stuff done in
