I've gone right off TV. When it is good, it can be brilliant (the simpsons, twin peaks, first getting into the x-files, or 24). Most of it is rubbish. Rather read a good book - really have got into reading in the past 12 months.

I wouldn't want to live in a world with out books or music. I read, and read, and read.

I know cds are replaceable, but I'm less rational when it comes to music!I'm totally irational when it comes to my pets.

If you don't have one lir, get a digital radio. The extra stations are well worth investigating.I don't yet. I want one, but not buying till we move. MAybe for the car though....

I love different types of music. Music is so fluid & changeable. It can mean quite different things to different people sometimes. I love having a wide variety of choic


es, as what I want to listen to changes so drastically, depending on my mood, & what time of day it is, & how things are going.

Exactly! I have a very pronouced physical reaction to some music, almost every day.

I get the pronounced reaction completely!

regarding the digital radio, I assume (from your posts) you're keeping a tight reign on finances? you can pick up a DAB now for between £10-20 if you shop around.

I think the ones for the car aren't well developed at the moment & don't work very well. Interestingly, listened to a debate on the radio about that approx 1 month ago, as there aren't really any car suitable models out there for people to buy, & other people are concerned re the forthcoming switchover.

Do you have freeview? The extra radio channels are on that? I think you're rural, so don't know what the coverage is like where-ever you are...

I reign over tight reins. We've actually been a bit lavish on the spending this year, but I'm anti stuff. We have run out of room. Totally, utterly and completely. No more stuff.

I do have freeview. I use it for the radio a lot, but I use it off a portable arial, which can at times be frustrating.

What's that please purch?

97.7 is Radio One up on Exmoor
98.8 is Radio One in the Taunton area
99.9 is Radio One on the flatlands of West Som

I do listen to Five Live sometimes too, but the reception is dreadful around here !!!

Bet it isn't as dreadful as round here.

I start off on Radio4 when taking DD2 to the station every morning, but half way down the hill I have to switch to Radio Devon as that's all it will find at that level, and by the time we're in the valley bottom it's strictly smoke signals and tom-toms. Doesn't matter there anyway; the junction is so dangerous we go to radio silence and open window for the last 20 metres!:eek:

I thought the only people who listened to Radio 1 (during the day at least) were 14 year olds who like auto-tuned ringtone music. Tinchy Stryder, that type of thing. Nang, innit? Or people who think Hard-Fi and Kasabian are good.

I've personally not listed to Radio 1 since Sir John Peel died.

Cleaver, you and I verge on the young fogey. I don't know what happene to radio one/me but I can't seem to ...like it.
i remember someone here once saying that we were all too old/soft to appreciate his choice in music and I got the giggles, because I relaise that I certainly have become a bit young fogey, but....well, I lived that music once. (which might be why I'm so worn out now, :rotfl:)
