I spend a lot of time in my tractor (as you may have already guessed) with only my radio for company, sometimes for days on end so as you can imagine I take quite an interest in the content of a lot of the programs I listen to. The channel of choice is bbc radio 2, I like all the presenters from early in the morning till I’ve had enough at the end of the day, the diversity of the music suits me just fine as I do have a very eclectic taste where those sounds are concerned but more on that at a later date.
last week though I just could not believe my ears, firstly during one afternoon interview being held by Steve Wright some kind of scientist was professing to have proven through lengthy surveys that trees could talk to each other he’s even written a book about the subject, well I found that somewhat difficult to believe, but worse was to follow when on the Jeremy Vine programme the following day, Noel Edmonds was interviewed on his ability to cure animals namely cats of there various anxieties by speaking to them down the phone!! Some how Jeremy Vine was able to hold it together whilst an example of Noel Edmonds new found talent took place and we experienced the sound of this highly respected celebrity presenter talking via a telephone to a depressed cat situated in the radio studio! Well I was gobsmacked, whilst I am fully aware of how important animals as pets are to people I just do not understand this kind of behaviour, and if Mr Edmonds is hoping to profit from such a venture then he has certainly sunk further in my estimations.
cheers for now.
