Don't give away the ending

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

Zeity, on a slightly related note. I am very sad because I have moved into a building with very poor am reception, and I am unable to listen to the worldservice.

Is an external am antenna the only solution?
