I can't grasp AM and FM radio, so there's no hope for me.

Anything invented when you're under ten is a natural part of life.
Anything invented between about 10 and 25, is really cool and exciting and you might make a career of it.
Anything invented after that is clearly the work of the devil.

AM radio began with the first, experimental broadcast on Christmas Eve of 1906

Exactly how old are you NAT if you were over 25 in 1906

No no. radio is a normal part of life. I just don't understand how it works. Never have, never will. It's some kind of magic, I reckon.

SFM Principle - Sheer Fkn magic

These are the principles I use to describe the inner workings of all my projects to business stakeholders (depending upon comlexity)

I think he may have a point.

It isn't just the radio - The link doesn't work either.

You've got to get the reflection just right.

I think it's something to do with the Higgs Boson, but I can't be sure.

Is he a member of a boat crew ? It's so hard to get the staff these days........

That's the one that comes on at 17:00 on R4, isn't it?

I've never knowingly received any PM.

At college I used to get mixed up between the maths of the two.

But then again I am easily confused.
