"Mick Jagger is monogamous, year-on-year"

Thanks to Mark Kermode for supplying the headline for today's post. It comes from his discussion of 'The March of the Penguins' in the latest Radio 5 podcast, and it made me laugh out loud. Worringly, Radio 5 have chosen to put an advert for some football thing in the middle and played ridiculously loud music over the last 30 seconds and Mark's review of Surf's Up. To make matters worse, the last 10 seconds of the Podcast consisted solely of this inane jingle, so it wasn't as if it was out of time, or anything. Please stop doing this.

I've found (via the Cook'd and Bomb'd forum) some old Baker & Kelly Football shows from Radio5 and TalkSport, which I'm enjoying at the moment. The sound quality's a bit ropey, but it's still great to hear this combination again - they kept me sane towards the end of my PhD write-up.

Panty Rap - Frank Zappa

To do this week: apply for job, listen to the end of the last Test, finish a couple of Reports and record ths Armando Ianucci shows from last week's BBC Radio 7.

T - 2. Time stood still on the Misery Line, as a normal 30-minute ride took twice as long.
M - 4; D - 4.
