Crying at work? Blame Radio 2!

i'm afraid i'm not really into songs from the shows. musical theatre and the faux, nasal american accents leave me reaching for the knives! I like a good theatre production, even with songs, but.... and don't get me started on the am-drammers leaving their messages in ridiculous accents and bum notes!

ken bruce and bob harris are fab. i often miss wogan too Evans?..... *subterranean growl*

 

Yep, those “break a leg” messages get on my thruppennies as well. We were at Matilda the Musical at the Birmingham Hipp last week. It was totally brilliant. Great songs ( well it’s written by Tim Minchin so they were bound to be ) and great performances. I do like musicals, I don’t mind admitting

 

yes, i remember hearing that too... i'd often sit in the carpark at work to hear him. i cried a few times with laughter at the janet and john stories too

 

i like the live MT professional productions, and matilda is fab but it's the am-dram or songs out of context (ie sunday afternoon) that get my goat. I am proud to say that i've never seen an episode of the american musical theatre programme thing.... but sadly had to endure a reliving of it most days in a performing arts department! *dies*

 

Lol..
He did a good job of those ..
I have the cds
..did think about playing them in the car but...

 

it's not easy to drive while crying with laughter.... he used to crack up while reading them too. i miss the TOGS

 

They did. As a young lass, my mum used to work as a nursing auxiliary. One of her jobs was to wheel various severed limbs and body parts down to the incinerator, which she did without complaint or drama. I like people like that.

 

I’d like to ‘like’ that but it seems wholly inappropriate.

 

I’d like to club Vanessa Feltz to death - with Elaine Paige.

 

Have a like - she deserved it I think. She pegged out at 93 last year. Talking to the palliative care nurse, she reckoned that, after an operation, that generation would be up and about long before today’s whinging snowflakes. They just got on with stuff, no fuss.

 

Ha ha! Pm you tomorrow.

 

So sad you’ve lost her. Sounds like mine. Just in hosp at the mo shaking off some minor chest infection at 97. Wish more were like that ballsy generation.

 

@Merlin Cat very sad where very very fortunate and may it continue that we never have too see that in our lifetime.

my grandad fort and survived the Somme.

Like all families we are very proud of his currage and thankful he was able to come home, where so many didn’t

RIP Grandad

Ps Mr Vine on radio 2 in my opinion depressing and overpaid.

 

I shout the answers on popmaster ,but they never listen ,i imagine they are trying to google it in the alloted time ..

 

No doubt this would be banned these days by some snowflake for being hurtful to gender neutral children and non inclusive....

It's also being read out by someone pale, stale and male.


In a few years time I suspect there will be a campaign to rename Wogan house because if it.

 

@Merlin Cat
Instead listen to
Radio 1 , Smooth radio Radio 4 woman’s hour always on you know they discuss womany things


Anything except Mr Vines Radio 2
