I have a Geography O Level.Originally posted by cailin maith View Post
Never going to live that one down!!
Sadly, the curriculum was "Modern Geography".
We never looked at a map.
Rock formation, glaciers, linear settlements.
I left school knowing nothing about where anything was.
I still don't know where most English counties are.
Mind you, the government keeps deleting / creating / moving them, so you can always use that as an excuse!My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

I did Geography too, for A level but we could choose Physical or Social - I went Social and I don't recall ever seeing a map either

Can't you ask Mr Stobart to assign you to a south coast truck delivery for a change? You could pop in to the Monkey World at the same time.Originally posted by cailin maith View PostMy all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Radio 4's best bits are:Originally posted by cailin maith View Post
1) the 18:30 comedy slot Mon-Fri. Just A Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue are all-time classics that have been going for decades. Once you are into them, they can be pant-wettingly funny. Comedy is also hidden all over the place on the R4 schedules. R4 is where the BBC trials new comedy. Many successful BBC comedy & news programmes started on Radio 4.
2) The Archers. BEWARE: If you are susceptible to soaps, The Archers is more addictive than crack cocaine. There are people who have resigned rather than have their hours changed because it would stop them listening to The Archers on the car radio at the end of lunchtime.
3) The Afternoon Play. A mixed bag. Often dull, frequently brilliant.
4) All the other stuff. Radio 4 has all the intellectual and cerebral stuff but it is presented for a 'normal' audience. The statistics programme, More or Less, is a classic example of a programme that presents very complex information in a very understandable way. One series of More or Less will completely change your view of news reporting for life.
It is worth being on the bench for a few weeks just so you can experience Radio 4.
Avoid the tedious afternoon news analysis PM. Also, Today in the mornings is best avoided - it's too far up its own arse. Today listeners think they are changing the world by hearing rude presenters be rude to politicians.
Also, don't bother with Woman's Hour - that is meant for bitter, lonely, mentalist feminists, feminist-wannabes and menopausal barren spinsters. Listen to one and you'll see what I mean.
Oh, I nearly forgot:
5) The Shipping Forecast. NickFitz can expand on that old but dearly-loved British institution.
That is most people's reaction. "Oh, there really IS a Radio 3? Fancy that!"Originally posted by cailin maith View PostThere is a R3 - Cool... got classical stuff on it.
Classic FM broadcasts popular classical music. It is looked down upon by Radio 3 listeners. Radio 3 can be hard work. It can be good for the Proms and far too occasionally does "Introduction to Classical Music" programmes which should not be missed.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
