But, again, not so now.<br />One of the things which infuriates me is the way, just before going over to hear someone speak, they will tell you at great length what he or she is going to say. Then you go over and hear the speech. Then you're b ack in the studio being told what they said. For Heavens sake, do they think I can't take it in un less I hear it three times?Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-69657469655340937912010-05-19T22:39:01.010+01:002010-05-19T22:39:01.010+01:00True--and here in the States apparently nobody bel...True--and here in the States apparently nobody believes in newspapers either anymore.Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-85203158102892292682010-05-19T22:27:02.751+01:002010-05-19T22:27:02.751+01:00I agree it is absolutely amazing idea to turn this...I agree it is absolutely amazing idea to turn this into haiku.<br />I read about it in the news before.<br />The thing that people trust radio more than any other sources of information is something very British. it's largely BBC as a cultural phenomenon. it's not quiet the same in America or anywhere else.10000 memorieshttp://10000memories.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-81768648208110384392010-05-19T21:05:04.356+01:002010-05-19T21:05:04.356+01:00awesome you can turn that into a haiku.... yet, I ...awesome you can turn that into a haiku.... yet, I prefer my news from friends and family :)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353317664100788614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-18548417239846667002010-05-19T20:06:31.883+01:002010-05-19T20:06:31.883+01:00I don't believe TV or radio.
