Mrs Rider heard reporting early this morning from wits end, in the kitchen area:

"Aaaaagggh, what the (capitals) **** is 'Absolute Radio'?"

Barely contained self from responding 'What the **** is sleep?'.  She ignored my expression, and continued

"When I turn it (radio) on, Radio 6 disappears and instead this thing called 'Absolute ****ing Radio' comes on"

I had to concede defeat.  I don't know anything about it and failed to produce the requisite armour that shines in early-morning sunlight.  I simply stared blearily through a rich tea biscuit and said 'what' without a question-mark.

Any ideas?  The day is already struggling and compromise threatens.

*edit: swear-filter weirdness.  I certainly didnt type 'fuvking'.  Double-checked. Oh ye gods, is May 1st some kind of special broken day?  Anyone else reporting anomalous interference? I'm somewhat anxious about making coffee at this point in case it fully opens some portal of ****ery

Can't help, mate; I only listen to Radio 4.

What with being a grown-up, and all that.

*double-edit:  now the (swear-filter-inserted) 'fuvking' disappeared and re-replaced with asterisks.

What fuvery is this?  Is a portal actually open?

**UPDATE**  tools down.  Thanks anyway. She solved it herself (I include evidence below).  I feel release.  And released.  Am I now superfluous? Am likely too old for breeding purposes.  Defintely too lardy, beaten and gnarly for trophy/decorous purposes.  Here is the beginning of the end, I suppose.  May1st.  A date for diaries.   Very little happens, but what little does happen will mess with your mind to the degree that your paradigm will shift in the space of a coffee and biscuit.

Can’t help, mate; I only listen to Radio 4.

What with being middle class, and all that.

FIFY 😉

Oooh, I do like a paradigm shift in the morning. It's always uncomfortable later on in the day.

Have you tried those moist towelettes?

They'll shift even the toughest paradigm and always leave your gusset lemon fresh.

Radio 3 in the morning.

The alternatives  (Campbell, Evans, Humphreys etc) are unthinkable.

Eugh. Commercial radio. Truly, the sign of the pleb.

My colleague listens to Gem (a particularly cretinous East Midlands station) that's similar and, my god, it's awful. I'm glad you fixed it.

I take It you’ve never had the misfortune to listen to Radio X, then. It appears to be a vehicle for Chris Moyles to spout endless inconsequential bollocks, it proves he failed his primary school music exam, he got to “do re me me me me...”
