Listening to Just a Minute for the first time in ages.

Paul Merton is ruining it.

I never liked it.

KW was the only reason for listening to it.

And they won't be repeated Eva again, because of the Band on the Run wrong-un.

I always h8ted him as well.

With his droning, nasal pomposity...

That came on after I'd listened to the 12 o'clock news in the car. I immediately turned it off.

All of todays exciting news has meant I have tuned into Simon 'hold the' Mayo's show on Olden Classics Radio or whatever it's called, and it's identical to his old Radio 2 show. Same features bants and songs and everything.

Wonder when Jo Whiley will be re-merged into him?

Not the Confessions section!

On 2nite's it was a charming story of someone locking their sister in a outside toilet with a

Rylan.

Does a straw have one or two holes in it? Let's have a mass debate.


I'm still thinking about hol…

The straw/holes question is interesting, I think it turns on the ambiguity of 'hole', which can mean two things:

A. A void in an otherwise solid object, like a gash, trench, pit or tunnel.
B. The point(s) at which such a void opens at the surface.

So a straw has 1 hole in sense A, and 2 holes in sense B.

Now, that's got me thinking about the bubbles in an Aero, or the rumoured entranceless Marabar caves in A Passage To India. Until the Aero or the mountain is snapped in half, such bubbles constitute 1 hole in sense A, but no holes in sense B.

I think you're over thinking it.

The word hollow comes from hole doesn't it?

Vernon Kay will replace presenter Ken Bruce on his weekday mid-morning slot on Radio 2, the BBC has confirmed.

Could be worse I s'pose.

Vernon Kay still seems a young presenter for Radio 2 at the age of 48.

Yet Ken Bruce was just 32 when he started regularly hosting on Radio 2! That's younger than Rylan.

Is the BBC doing ANYTHING right at the moment?

Ken Bruce had hair!

You can tell that's a wig Jimmy Youngs got on even on that tiny blurry picture.
