I can't take the pressure. I am supposed to be writing a drunken blog post but I'm not drunk. Clealry if there had been wifis on the tube, and Id has a computer and I knew how to hool up to a Wifi, yeah, I could have done it. People were saying interesting things on the tube, to my left "You're pregnant you'd better sit down and if you're going to throw up do it there." To myleft "That's aural not ocular."
I'm not drunk. I 'm not even slightly pissed. i was in the ppub. I came out of the loos and heade dfor the door, bu the barmaid was trying to persuade that the exit was upstairs. Yeah, right. she took at least five attempts to persuade me I needed to go upstairs to get out of the pub. turns out she was right....
I think I did my drunk posting on rmo. Apropos the new announcer for the MEt boradcasts, some arseholewanker wrote
Milton Cross obviously established a style of commentary that Peter Allen and others have copied. Miss Margaret maybe wants to establish a style of her own. Maybe some focus groups suggested that this is a way to attract 20-somethings to the broadcasts. But you will excuse me and perhaps some others who were listening and remember Cross if we do not appreciate it. And as for Allen, I remember him taking over under difficult circumstances
>snip<
> As for the suggestion that my post was an attack on women, maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. Anyone who likes opera has to like some of the things women do. Does anyone here not have immense respect for Joan Sutherland? (And maybe a bit of disdain for her husband?) I mentioned Nimet, who ought not to relegated to the wee hours. But perhaps men have an advantage for some things like being stevedores, and radio announcers?
AndI wroote
Have you any idea what an ignorant, stupid, petty, small minded little pip sqieak of a shite you read like?You say - "Anyone who likes opera has to like some of the things women do."
You patronising git, the sooner the likes of you are gone and forgotten, the better. Mr Allen is due a happy and healthy and long retirement. Mr Cross is (probably) dead.
If I said "Anyone who likes opera has to like some of the things men do," it would read as the crazed utterings of a man-hating harridan.
Surprisingly, or not, your rantings read like the crazed uttering sof a woman-hating bully.Did you enjoy the broadcast? Do you have anything to say about the opera?
About the orchestra, the singers? I recorded it while I was out. Should I listen?
Or does it just piss you off that a woman is doing a job you could never, in your wildest dreams, do?
Sorry mate, but you are so antiquated and irrelevant. So you missed the announcement of Peter Allen's retirment, and replacement. and you can't even do a google to find the discussion. Hint, it was after the last broadcast of last season and before the first broadcast of this. Key words for search "Peter Allen"
I so hate tosspot old men like that who want to live in their fucking aspic preserved arsehole worlds of th 1950s imposing their fucking misery on everybody else, and really are scared utterly fucking shitless that in the 21st centurey, some fifty years after they had any life in them that slowly a small number of women are beginning to do jobs that men have been doing often mediocrely for aeons. And too stupid to even fucking analyse that when a radio presenter has been doing a job for 27 years their successor is going to take some getting used to. Maybe she's not very good, I don't know, but one fucking performance and he's written off all women. What an arsehole. By his logic I should write off all superannuated old gits as being bleeding ignorant arseholes. but i don't make sweeping generalistaions on the grounds of gender.
It fuckinbg gets my bleeding goat.
AndI got hiccups
