THE INFLUENCE OF .PETER'S BAGPIPES' IS QUITE ASTOUNDING

You may have noticed that MATINEE IDLE used bagpipes as a theme in this afternoon's programme. Good on them! They obviously are followers of this blog.

I went to school with Phil O'Brien and university with Simon Morris.

They've been putting on a good show for years but I wish that they'd stop encouraging silly texts and email messages from dullards who think it's funny to disparage the hosts and the music. There are a lot of very dumb people out there as evidenced I guess by most of the vanity plates on cars. Don't you just hate those that say things like 4KAREN or the ones that simply replicate the car's model name like AUDI.

Dickheads.
