Liking it...
Did anyone else hear "tangenital" instead of "tangential" in an email around 8.50? Isn't that what happens if you ignore the rules about decency on sunbeds?
No, missed that. A good excuse to listen again
Must be too early for some folk.
Or is it the Freudian, or Jungian (forget which!) processor in Gid's head? If you mail him with the word "disorientated" he will read "disoriented". What a man!

Reading the day's schedule in reverse was genius too. After Gid's spoonerism of "Shean Kauveny" earlier, I sent a spooner schedule - you can't do much with Lauren or Nemone, but Leve Ma Stacq should do a good show, as would Cary Growley. Cerys Matthews translates to Chews Mattrys, which has other connotations.
Nah, was away out by then - had a maths test first thing, sadly. The voice/time thing's a bit odd, it's like the day's running backwards.
I stand by all my words. Even the ones I get wrong. x
I find I have had a post removed for "not being in English". As the word was not "Jungian", nor have I posted "Merry Christmas!" in Finnish recently, I can only conclude that I am now going to have to pay tortured sin tax, or something...
"Ed Vaizey:
I strongly suspect 6 Music will be saved."
Schlepped the DAB to work this morning, two of me colleagues passed positive comments on Gid's show. Good to hear GC taking a healthy interest in whether or not his telephone interviewee was dressed. For some reason I can't quite fathom, that had me chuckling for quite a while. Be interesting to see if he will be following that line of inquiry with the rest of the week's callers, particularly if he gets a lady on the blower.
Could Gid be embarking upon a crusade against gratuitous nudity in the home?

Until they come round with a listener webcam, I reserve the right to remain unclothed. Shabba was used to it anyway, and now his unseeing eyes stare out of the glass, without knowing what lies beyond. But it's only Cyril. Obviously, I use a tea-cosy for modesty.
I favour the tea cosy method myself but I did once answer my door attired in such a manner. Would have been OK except I'd used the spout hole for anchorage, so there was some exposure.
That'll be "hyvää joulouu" (not sure about the christmas word spelling) then?
Most of the post's in English, and the more I type the higher the percentage gets.....

Apologising to all of Norwich at 8.20... high risk strategy if Rileydj was listening!

I must keep an ear out for that when I listen again later.

you're right. One of the reasons I don't post more in Finnish is you wouldn't understand it. Luckily, it's against the rules too, because I don't speak or write it either.
I feel bolstered in my "but marmots don't come from Finland" concerns by recent "but meerkats don't come from Russia" publicity... (opera singers and perplexed faces are also available)...
I understand more than most (and a lot less than I'd like)! Every now and again my friend who moved there (he married a Finn and I often visit them in the winter) sends me some salmiakki pastilles and a copy of Mobilisti magazine which I try to make sense of.....
I learned the "merry christmas" one a long time ago from an ex-girlfriend whose mum is Finnish.
hmmm salmiakki.
It's when you go to the sweet shop and try to work out what a metrilakritsi is, going "I say! that appears to mean a metre-long strip of licorice! and omena flavour? apple?" and they say "yup! you got that OK!"...
and ANOTHER daft thing about today's breakfast show (while we're on the subject) were the two (IMHO while listening) boneheaded ideas about an eWAG group for Essex Girls and renaming Northamptonshire "North Londonshire" - but I found both of them are true!
