Or is the spelling

Hoodies, hoodie hoodie yum yum

I was offering the following deep philosophical observation of the local dialect, after Thursday's interviws with hooded young people in Nottingham:

Hi Eddie
Am I the only one who coudn't understand a word your interviewees said - and I live in Nottingham! I'd like the country to know that we don't all talk like that round here.

Innit.

It's a good job you wrote that and didn't phone it in... they might not have been able to understand your broad East Midland accent .

Gill (ducking!)

PS I thought Nottingham was proud of its association with hooded men?

 

[Steve Maskery]

Good point, Gill, hadn't thought of that!

And how's the job-hunting going, hope it's more successful than mine.

Cheers
Steve

Nope, sorry, still totally lost here: who/what, or where, is PM in this context?

 

[Gill]

PM is a current affairs/news programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 5 pm each weekday for an hour. There's more about it here.

Gill

 

[Steve Maskery]

PM is the daily news magazine program on Radio 4, broadcast at 5pm every day except Sunday.

Cheers
Steve

Thanks folks - my cultural education continues.. (I've always refused to listen to radio 4, because then I'll be 'old'... 8) )

(I've always refused to listen to radio 4, because then I'll be 'old'...

I know what you mean - its the plays that drive me insane - what over acted twaddle. However, my definer of 'old' is listening to Radio 2 (or aural Daily Mail as it should be known).

The trouble is Radio 1 and 2 would be fine if they were DJ less. I'm tempted to by a digital (or 'digidal' as the annoying announcer calls it on BBC) radio but I'm not sure how much better things will be then - commercials etc etc. The one I'm thinking about is the Pure Bug because of the rewind option - I always want to hear something just as I need to make a lot of noise.

What do others listen to?

Cheers

I like the news broadcasts on Radio 4 but my radio is usually tuned to Radio 5. Two things make me re-tune or put a cd on; phone-ins (Radio 5 seems to have an unconscionable amount of those :roll: ) and Simon Mayo.

I also enjoy listening to BBC7's re-runs of comedy classics such as 'Just A Minute', 'The Navy Lark', 'Yes Minister', 'Round The Horne' etc plus their classic plays. In fact, I record them on to my computer, transfer them to cd, and play them in the car on long journeys.

As for being old - I started listening to Radio 4 when I was still at school. I've rarely listened to anything on Radio 2 though.

Come to think of it, I spend more time listening to the radio than watching TV and I enjoy it far more.

How do you record radio to your hard disk, please?

I knew Simon Mayo in a previous life. Where he were a lad, he was a DJ on Radio Nottingham, and we used to go to the same church at that time. One of his interests is magic, thogh I don't think he ever performed, and he once came round to my house for a magic evening. I never got to know him very well, but he always seemed like quite a nice guy (in a young, trendy, media, happening, cool, with-it sort of way - I was never any of those things, not even the young, as far as I can recall!).

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve

I've got Sky hooked up to a TV card in my pooter. If I want to record radio, I simply record the radio broadcast on Sky as a TV programme, save it, then convert it to MPEG. I'm sure others will have different techniques, but this works fine for me.

Radio two in the car

Real (south wales) in work

Gill i might just nick your idea! I spend upwards of 20 hours a week in the car these days, and we don't have the benefit of BBC radio - so are forced to live trough 20% comercials on most stations.

I grew up listning to Radio 4 'cause we could get in on LW in Luxembourg - I can still remember wondering (at a very young age) why tthe people in the radio could not read their clocks properly - PM came on at 6PM as far as I was concerened!
