The BBC I remind you is a public service broadcaster fresh stocked with green from our taxes. Like a digitised version of the Mission Impossible briefs, anything you want to 'listen again' to, self-destructs after a fixed elapsed time.
Maybe there are some out there who still have one of these - my dad did for years and accumulated a huge stock of BBC radio drama and informative programmes for his personal use. For all its technical wizardry, iPlayer sets bounds on your listening in an intrinsically mean way. So I say thankyou to the wizzkids out there who, as soon as the BBC stymies downloading by one app, develop another one. The best application of two fingers since the radio-cassette player.
No story this week - too much going on, too many things to think about, all mental energy directed elsewhere and frankly, I can't be arsed.
pip-pip
