Just musing . . . With a "distinctive" QLN graph as that of rhohne, I wonder if Asbokid will apply his skills and tell us rhohne's location within the UK?
BBC Radio 5 AM is the worst offender (in every sense). There's a Downing Street petition to have it shut down for its vile noise pollution.
Some 10 years ago, I was staying at my parents' house in the Black Country heartlands.
It was around 1am when a tremendous guttural rumbling came from the very bowels of the earth. The walls literally shook. Books were falling from their shelves. All the cats were howling manically. And my mother, still in her hair curlers, was stamping on the floor upstairs and bellowing down to me: "
Wor am yam dewin kid?" (local dialect for STFU).
After much head scratching, it dawned on me that we were in the epicentre of an earthquake!
I flicked on the radio for urgent Government advice. Hush! The familiar voice of Edwina Currie soon came belching across the airwaves from the Pebble Mill studios in Brum. Back then, Currie was tucked safely into the graveyard slot at Radio 5 to ensure that no one sane had to listen to her.
Currie's impassioned words to her anxious audience were "
My goodness! Did the earth move for you, too?!"
*shudder!*
Ten years later, an horrific image still haunts me: Edwina Currie and boring John Major working late into the night on their Top Secret "earth-moving" exercises.
