hi there - I'm not ashamed to say that I listen to, and love, BBC Radio 4! So I've decided to form a club for other, like-minded individuals (that basically means telica probably) to regale the shipping forecast ;) and the archers. Oh, and Gardeners' Question Time! |

I'll tell my mum about this thread! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
is "desert island discs" still on? and "just a minute"? |
||||||||
|

It's lucky I just finished that cup of Kellog's Frosties, for I may have choked on one! How English humour that seems of you, for a Dutchmun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I am half English, so I guess my humour is half English too. |
||||||||

You had better believe it! Just A Minute is one of the greatest shows ever devised! There was a television version of it once, in the 70s or 80s! And I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue also is fasmo! |

There is some genuinely hilarious stuff on radio 4 :P |

yeah, I really do like that programme. :) and it is true, my mum listens to Radio 4 a lot, so I used to hear some of those programmes when she was listening. |

ahaha, your mother is from DURHAM? well, my stepfather's mother is from the Netherland so that makes me step-quarter-dutch I guess... do you speak English a lot at home? |
||||||||

paul, you know me too well! i missed the shipping forecast last night - i was *distraught*. |
||||||||

|
|
bloody hell that guy has a pert bum. i'd be frightened waking up next to that.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, not really. I would watch the BBC with my mother quite a lot, and we would make comments in English, funnily enough. |

did anyone hear the programme on monday morning about road markings? it was fascinating (no sarcasm intended). i love random stuff like that. stuff you'd never tune in especially to hear it, but is really interesting nonetheless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't hear that one, but I do love the fact that you can hear documentaries on the unlikeliest of subjects! I also love some of the books they read -- there was one by a former nun I was enjoying listening to -- "the spiral staircase" I think it was called. |
||||||||

I have noted that there is no silence quiet like the silence you hear in pauses on Radio 4. Listen out for them, they're ....eerie. |
||||||||
|

I like radio 4 the shipping broadcast is really spooky and soothing. It reminds me off my childhood. |

they are as pregnant as a she-rabbit in heat. |

i applaud your observation |

I'm glad there are so many radio 4 listeners! I used to listen to radio 5 a lot -- Up All Night was simply great when it first started... it's not so hot now... :( now I'm back to radio 4, the radio station of my youth ... I remember once, late at night, hearing a play about this man who had to sleep with another man to further his career... it ended with him telling his sister that he actually quite enjoyed it... my first gay awareness. |

i hate it when the woman signs off for the night. she always says something like 'now we're handing you over to the world service. whatever you're doing tonight, have a good night'. i HATE that. the lovely man says 'and from all at radio4, wishing you a very peaceful night'. i want his babies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would be better if she said "if you live on your own you have more chance of being burguled. goodnight" |

I think he does not use his double-r device in Pronouns and Proper Nouns :) RADIO 4 4 EVA! |

Radio4 is great. It's about the only radio I listen to. Other than specialist music shows like John Peel, Mixing It, The Breezeblock etc. If I want to hear music, I put on a CD.. something I know I'll like. But I could listen to Radio4 all day. I've amassed so much fascinating (but largely useless) information from this particular British establishment; great for sparking conversation during lazy Sundays in the pub. The man who says goodnight IS great. That whole final half hour on 4 between 12.30 & 1am reminds me of long car journeys to see my relatives in Somerset & Cornwall as a child. Sigh. I'm glad that there are others out there who recognise the value of Radio4. |

Just a minute is great. I remember waking up around noon with a hangover from hell, hearing it for the first time... made my day bearable. |

lundy fastnet irish sea yeah radio4 is the greatest. home truths is cool when still drunk from the night before, all the stories work their way into my dreams. roger deacon was on a week ago, just walking about the countryside around his cottage recording sounds like owls and the wind screaming down his chimney - his descriptions were very soathing and i didnt want it to end. |

There was a fascinating show on a couple of months ago, about a sound engineer, and his recordings of insects... it really inspired me, you'll note the inspiration in '01', from my three-hour ambient project (since renamed 160 minute ambient project). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when im really unwell and cannot move from bed i will always have radio4 on. it is similar to having a parent watch over you as a kid, just to hear voices talking. othertimes it can get fucked with too much kalpol prescribed O_o |
