Bloody radio has gone over to dirge music as well. It's not like this was unexpected.

Indeed - I for one will be going into a media blackout for the weekend, so they can probably get away with a lot.

More importantly, my son’s dog died in the early hours of this morning, aged 17. RIP Billy the Beagle (2004-2021).

I've re-tuned the wireless from LBC to BBC6 Music.
Fingers crossed.

ETA - Gah! *Summons iTunes*

Dr Beardy (Mrs) has the radio on R4 most of the time but I’m not allowed to adjust the volume to a level I can hear (11). For once, I’m actually glad if this fact, although I was shushed while she listened to the ‘breaking news’ announcement.

6 Music had a broadcast about a dead old man when I tried to find something that wasn't a) a dirge or b) sycophantic claptrap.

Hurrah for random punk on the Bombe.

Not this time. Following Di's death the process was changed. Flowers are discouraged and must be removed before the start to degrade.

Hurrah also for remembering to bring to work 64GB of my music collection.

Hadn't heard of that before. Interesting. At least knowing about it will help me plan how to avoid the worst of it.
