Tabloid Lead Speculation = Pointless Frenzy

It was the usual regime of being woken up at 6:25am and then
going back to sleep 5 minutes later.

The good news is that I am starting to drift apart from the idea
of wanting to move to a different city.

I want to move to another country instead, as further flung as possible.

I haven't been on holiday abroad for almost five years
and that's possibly what I am really searching for.

So the solution would be to find the right job in order to meet those
costs and jet off. It's that simple.

Elsewhere there's a big fuss about the rumours of BBC 6 Music
being shut down as part of a series of cutbacks in an article
from the Times which has caused quite a furore.

Now here comes the hard task of trying to come up with my own
opinion which hasn't been half inched from someone else's and in
all honesty, whilst it would be disappointing to see it disappear,
it wouldn't really make any changes to my listening habits.

In fact I wouldn't exactly be rushing out to buy
any of the records that are played on the station.

That and the how the only programmes I would really
listen to on the station would be those that aren't based around
music at all but more towards the presenter, I.E. Adam & Joe,
Andrew Collins, Richard Bacon, and so on.

Which pretty much defeats what the original purpose of 6Music was.

But in no way at all would I campaign to get those stations shut down,
because they've not done anything to offend my ears to the extent
that BBC Radio 1, and many commercial radio stations have
on a long term basis.
