Listening to Craig Charles’ #FunkAndSoul show on #6Music, and once again he publicly admits to carrying two pounds of funk in a bag rated for only one pound, and once again I ask why my complaints to the BBC and the HSE are going ignored.
Also, he needs to be careful when advertising his quantities in imperial measures.
Pausing the #FunkAndSoul show on #6Music to break for news bulletins makes as much sense as how the BBC used to split a movie in half so they could go to the news at 10.
When* I’m in charge of the BBC, I’ll outlaw this practice.

This might appeal more to the #6Music crowd than the Top of the Pops crowd.
This Friday, BBC Four, 10pm. "The Story of Microdisney: The Clock Comes Down the Stairs".
"To their fans, Microdisney were one of the greatest bands of all time. But most people have never heard of them. This is the story of a huge talent that went largely unrecognised."
I had the immense pleasure and privilege of a few years working with Cathal long after he gave up the professional music business, until his very untimely death. He was not only a hugely talented musician but a very intelligent and kind man.
If you have any interest in music at all, do watch this or catch-up later on iPlayer. I'm expecting a fantastic programme.
Om nom nom... Lovely big gin for #boozeInTheBath.
Had a lovely stroll out with the family this morning down to Botany Bay and then along the coast (forgot to take photos, sorry), and now relaxing with this and some #6music.
Radcliffe and Maconie just played Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) on #6Music, and how can you hear a song as utterly magnificent as that, and then buy into Disco Sucks.
Popped into town to meet @aldroid and @mrsbeanbag in person (very good, would recommend) and see old mate @jtruk (always a solid choice). Now home for a #kitchenDisco whilst pizza cooks. #6music for the win
Got friends coming over for dinner tonight, so I’m in the kitchen having had my first glass of whisky of the year, and wow, not drinking for a month so does reduce one’s ability to drink…
