Today's show 26/10/11


Dear readers of my blog, welcome!
 
Feltz continues in the JV's long-held tradition of discussing topics that are completely and utterly irrelevant to me again today. I am sure he will be proud of her. When, oh when, will somebody at Radio 2 realise that this programme needs a good kick up the arse and a presenter who lives with the rest of us in The Real World is desperately needed. Pigs preparing for take-off there I think, and so Radio 2's listeners will continue to be subjected to what the BBC want to tell us, rather than what we want to hear. What a shame that we have to pay for this rubbish!
 
Today's issue that affects me: Should I use one-pack or two-pack etch primer on aluminium?
 
So why will I be switching to 6 Music at 12 today? Let's see....
 
1) UNFAIR DISMISSAL - Companies should be able to sack unproductive workers without any explanation or fear of unfair dismissal claims, according a leading venture capitalist who is advising the government : Can I nominate two unproductive people that the BBC should sack immediately? They would be Vine and Feltz. Other than filling the airwaves with waffle they produce nothing but hatred, division, high blood pressure, frustration and rage. But as a self-employed sole-trader I can't see me having to sack myself. Next...

2) DENTISTS - An inquest has found that a young woman died from a sceptic tooth because she was too afraid to go to the dentist. Find out more from the Watford Observer : The Watford Observer? Did the Daily Mail miss this story? This is just another opportunity for Feltz to crank up the Random Sympathetic Voice Generator. I am not afraid to go to the dentist and I have just got back from my six-monthly dental check-up (i.e. this very morning) and know how important it is, whether it is an unpleasant experience or not. There are others that are far, far worse! Bear with me while I attempt to find some sympathy for somebody who hasn't got the gumption to deal with a serious illness. This may take a while... Next...

3) DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - People could be given the power to find out from the police if a new partner has a history of domestic violence under new government proposals : I have no plans at all to find a new partner as I am very happy with the one I have. Next...

4) SEAGULLS - Do you have a problem with antisocial seagulls in your local town? We speak to the MP who is raising the issue in parliament today : I live less than 2 miles from the sea and so we see seagulls all the time. If nothing else, they are an extremely useful and efficient way of disposing of cat food that has gone a bit "tired". Other than the odd poop, they do not cause us any problems and they are a miniscule price to pay for living in this lovely part of the country.
 
Still looking...
 
The Jeremy Vine Show - more false sympathy and false outrage than we know what to do with!

How can a still be anti social? Do they murder people, play boney m at full blast, forget to return library books? Arn't they called herring gulls anyway,? One once pinched a cornnish pasty from my ex husbands hand, Bob
marazionbeach, but that was a small price to pay for the laughter it generated!
