I'm going to stop spamming LJ in a moment, but I was just listening to the Archers and have the following observations to make:

Phil's organ technique appears to have gone down hill in the last few years, and it's odd, given that there was supposed to be an unusually large congregation present (including Joe Grundy and Jazzer - long story), that there appeared to be only three people singing 'We plough the fields and scatter'... Not as if it's an obscure hymn, and you'd think the BBC would have enough recordings of hymns to produce something more convincing!

My hope for the ARchers at the moment is that we might be able to get a reprieve soon from boring Ian and whining Adam.

Here's hoping! I wouldn't mind less of Ruth, or Soapy Sam, either...

Apparently Norman Painting (the actor who plays Phil Archer) is a Christ Church man*; we saw him at a garden party there.

*As is my wife Creatrix (in a manner of speakin), her father, her uncle, and her grandfather!

He'd enjoy the music at evensong!

I don't think The Archers has been v realistic for a while!
