I had quite a crowd round for Xmas day with the deal being each couple
provided one of the courses. ;-)

So the kitchen was used heavily by different people from fairly early on.
Magic Radio was blasting out from the LS 3/5A there as that's what most
seemed to want and no-one said 'could you please change it to FM from DAB'
despite all having fairly decent systems at home.


Well perhaps they were being polite;)...

I know it's similar to Keith G's postman or whatever but what the hell.




Plowie's had my postman round for dinner? (How sweet - I like to see the
'lower orders' enjoying themselves! :-)

(WTF is 'Magic Radio'..??)

Maybe Magic FM may seem more familiar ? It's famous for playing 'golden oldie'
style popular music.

Indeed. I hesitated from calling them Magic FM since we were listening on
DAB and it would confuse some. Which it has anyway.

But they play a fair amount of up to date stuff too - but in a style of
the 60s/70s, I suppose.

Thank you for that - clicked it, allowed 'Active X' to install itself and
listened to about 5 seconds of crap (Commodores - Still it said)!

Hideous.

You're familiar with J Clarkson's admissions about listening to Magic ?

You actually expect to like every single record a radio station plays?
You'll have to start your own one...

Indeed. You have to be rich to be allowed to listen to it. ;-)
