    It's Greece on Radio 5. Bridgwater local radio (http://www.quaywestradio.net/player.php) seems to think that a Simply Red dirge is more important than a 25 vehicle pile-up. It looks pretty nasty. We had a big smash on the Harbour Bridge yesterday (link).

    My trip down the Harbour was lovely although bloody hard work. I'll take the Generalissimos next weekend I think.

    I do have freeview... but the channels seem to be very limited. The numbers go from 309 to 795 with nothing in between. So there's a lot missing. I don't understand TVs.... I come from the generation that were amazed when [a] it went colour we got a 4th channel [c] TV stopped shutting down at 11pm.


    you should retune it....i can't tell you how to, but I always manage it so its doable. :)

    Menai Strait - heard of/been there.
    W**ker Strait - not heard of/not been.

    The Malacca Strait is my favourite. Mostly because it translates as a very naughty word in Greek (w*nker). I think it was named by a greek with a sense of humour.

    Dire straits was mine.

    I said it's on Five Live - is that the same as Radio 5?

    I know that at night Five Live becomes Radio Cornwall .... so no idea what it does elsewhere.

    See - radio's confusing!

    I like TTs derivation supporting NDGs usage but I can not find anything to support that etymology.
    The Strait of Gibraltar is a strait... I know there are others I'd remember if somebody else came up with them.
    I think....
