Radio 5-Dead
It’s a quiet afternoon as you’ve probably guessed. Patients not showing up and paperwork done leaves me at a bit of a dead-end at work so I want to listen to the radio. Normally I’d be listening to Simon Mayo on Radio 5-live but I’m not today. Do you know why? DO YOU?
Because of bloody horse racing! That’s why. The Cheltenham bloody Festival of bloody horse bloody racing. Would you credit it?
Firstly a moronic sport played by cruel idiots with more money than brain cells. Horses like running it is true but tell that to the 11 horses that died at the festival last year. Yes 11!
Secondly, it’s horse racing, on the radio! It’s like darts or snooker on the radio – it just doesn’t work.
And why the need to commenterate on the whole race.
Blah, blah, horses are running blah blah, oh one’s fallen over snapping its leg and its head has fallen off blah blah. Oh one horse has won.
We don’t need the whole bloody (potentially in both senses of the word) spectacle to be spelled out.
So I have silence in the room today. Music radio is far too bland to bother with in the day so silence is more interesting.
At least it’s not bloody horse racing. On the radio!?!?!?
Have fun.
