tbh If Trump and Clinton are consensually blowing each other it's literally the only thing I don't despise about either of them.

If you've never heard it, you need to hear this. An absolute goldmine of beauty and bitterness.
They’re running Under Milk Wood as originally broadcast, for the first time, this weekend on R4 Extra. Obviously, it’s brilliant. And I highly recommend a listen. It still sounds amazing; truly timeless. The most dated bit is the credits - but, oh, those character names.

What comes through in a lot of the emails is how much they hate - really hate - women and girls.
It's as if they hate the fact they're so enfeebled by their attraction to those they perceive to be cheap, dispensible totty, and project that hatred onto them.

The #crispmas specials are out already, so let us begin with Taylor's Boxing Day curry flavour.
They're basically chip shop curry flavour. I'd expected some sort of poultry. Bit of a powdery texture too. Missed opportunity.
