    I enjoy listening to Manx FM - It is hilarious. Recent news items include a man ranting at a woman walking her dog shouting rude words, and the electric railway carriage dismounting.

    Another good one is the football league - one of the players is nephew of the sports commentator.

    I love that way of life.

        LBC have got it right by hiring from both sides of the political spectrum. Different political views are therefore available, which makes listening more interesting, whether you agree with them or not.

        If only the BBC had persued the same "diversity" policy.

          I used to listen to James Whale circa '78 or '79 when he hosted the Nightowls phone-in show on Metro Radio in Newcastle. He wasn't very likeable, it must be said. Local callers didn't much like being shock-jocked. He left Metro around 1980 and the excellent Alan Robson has been doing it ever since.

            He must have wound the management up or simply got fed up of them.

              According to Wikipedia, JW has been married to Melinda Whale since 1970, despite his prickly on-air manner. Have to admit that is pretty cool.

                Or Melinda Whale is laid back.

                  Julia Hartley-Brewer is willing to go without Prosecco and Champagne, "if it will do the business".

                  Self-flagellation is the way to go.

                    we have plenty of experts on self flagellation just see the Brexit forum.
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
