if your team is finishing in the top half of your table

I haven't listened to local radio in just over a month now. I'm calling my switch to a blind mix of radio covers and new artistes that I've never heard before a shift in paradigm¹.

And the reason for switching off Gareth & Pierce in the mornings and Fresh in the afternoons is because if you think about it for a second, South African radio is just one big commercial lump being force fed to you. The adverts are relentless, the playlists unimaginative, the conversation contrived (especially the weekend breakfast show on 5FM).

And so I must declare a huge crush on BBC radio which I gave a wrangle at streaming today; its gorgey. Light and drifty hosting (though possibly because they're punting the bank holiday), a flurry of music that isn't strained from being overplayed, and the choice! oh good heavens, the fact that you can switch to Radio 7 and listen to Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes... *shivers thrillingly*

It's a burden on the cap though, so we'll have to shift to uncapped soon. This is all a bit of holly who ha, why're you still reading. shoo! off with you!
