Massively Mattering Football
ByPeople can say what they like about the BBC but sometimes it comes up wth a programme which is spot on. During my long months of exile in New York, the BBC’s online service has been invaluable, with such excellent programmes as From Our Own Correspondent, World Service news bulletins, and one-offs like Selling Malcolm X.
So it was with great delight when I accidentally bumped into That Mitchell and Web Sound (they don’t have their own page but you can find them in the listings here). For the first time in a very, very long time, I actually felt a slight twinge of homesickness. And then, this morning I received an email from my friend Adam with an excerpt from last week’s programme. You can listen to it here. And if you’re not fortunate enough to live in the UK but want to check out some English humor, That Mitchell and Web Sound is waiting.

You know, that is a whole post in itself! I did write humo(u)r at first and then decided against it. I deleted the (u) because after more than one year over here my default laguage is already neighbor, color, valor etc! I admit that In yesterday’s post about Ken I did write furor(e), but I can’t be doing that all the time now can I? Does this mean I’m starting to talk American (he says going up at the end of his sentence)? Gotta go, cell phone is ringing…
