It has meant that you can't listen to BBC Radio 1-4 in the hours which it broadcasts.

Damn! i thought the BBC had finally dedicated a channel to Jessica Alba

I thought that this was the name of her unborn baby!

Take no notice, Mike, I last I heard at least one of them was seen trying to chase a car down the street waving his banana at the driver....or at least, he told the magistrates it was a banana.....

It's only happened in Scotland at the behest of, and with the full backing and support of the Scottish Assembly, who pay £12.4m a year to help subsidise the service. Just for the record, this was all planned BEFORE the last Scottish elections.

At least you've kept Radio 5, as originally that was going to be taken off as well!

Your move kind Sir

Where's my partner-in-crime Captain Vimes when I need him? A couple of weeks ago, in the space of just four posts we turned a thread about a dominatrix party into a discussion on the teaching of RE under the National Curriculum!

I'm off out, back around 2.00am
