Two unrelated radio items to relate to you.
First, last night I was listening to TodayFM when they were playing their Friday night 80s program. A song finished and the DJ came on and said that someone had called up to ask for some Level 42. Now that has to be a lie. Nobody has ever spent the time or the money to call a radio station to request Level 42.
Then the DJ informed us that Level 42 is playing in Dublin next week. Then I knew. Either the band is already in town and they called or someone involved in promoting the concert must have called. Nobody else would have.
The other item was from a report on Radio 1 from the National Ploughing Championships. They were talking to a farmer about cattle and the farmer said that because so many farmers are part time these days cattle are getting wilder. He said cattle had less contact with human beings and, therefore, a bit more dangerous to be near. That's the kind of thing that I, a 'townie', would never even imagine. Interesting.
