On Radio 4...
Friday night comedy like the Now Show
or the News Quiz
even without Sandi Toksvig
(who is awesome)
I do like Radio 4...
On comedy,
is there really anything better than
I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue?
Not Radio 1, or Radio 2,
or Radio 5 Live
I stopped listening to that in 2005
Woman's Hour is the greatest show there is
with Jane Garvey, Jenni Murray
where else can you hear facts
about monthly menstruation?
I love Radio 4...
More or Less,
Poetry Please or Afternoon Drama.
Or of course there is Gardeners’ Question Time,
where you learn how to treat some greenfly,
or how cut back your gladioli
But I'll tell you it isn't all that great,
there's some stuff even I don't like,
especially that show which is on every night
and has an omnibus on Sunday!
Don't forget Radio 4 long wave with Test Match Special
"my dear old thing"..."
Eh! My mum could've hit that with a stick of rhubarb!"
Dogger! German Bight! South Utsire!
Biscay! Cromarty!
Fair Isle! Sole! Fitzroy! Viking!
Mornington Crescent!

International Femmes

International Feminism is the way for the world
because in the past forces combined
to put all of the power in the hands of men
and the culture they defined. The unrelenting...
Crime! Through the ages the wise have been degraded
you could brand a witch and make her die
untold knowledge burned to mist
while the ignorance survives.
The priest caste came too life!
Define rules and morality
replace the culture of insanity
These cliques and norms force-on hegemony
I'd rather add to Humanity
So stand tall all my sisters and brethren
Increase International Feminism!
Give to the world as both women and men,
and challenge what is not right.
Propaganda and superstition
cultural norms from the very bottom
lace the world with a feeling that was has been done
is what is needed to be done over and over...
Again! Education is a freedom to think
and re-evaluate attitudes all over again
a juvenile attitude held too high
the stultifying factors of a culture have to die!
Define rules and morality...
And while we're at it present fair trade
in a meaningful context
so consumer decisions can be swayed!
If we pay for ethics conditions can improve elsewhere
we’d have a better world if things were more fair
Increase International Feminism!

Stegasaurids

Stegasaurids - they ate loads of plants
Stegasaurids – got big plectrums on their backs
They had a small head, a brain no bigger than a dog’s
And small cheek-teeth that ended in a toothless beak.
Stegasaurids – probably cropped low-growing plants.
(Stegasaurids) But they might have reared on taller vegetation.
These ornithischians lacked big toes and spine stiffening
Body ten - dons.
Stegasaurids - length 3 to 9 metres
Stegasaurids - mid-Jurassic to Cretaceous, place
North America, Europe and Asia, Africa.
The largest plates might have convected heat
To help them not overheat in hot weather -
A spiny tail as a weapon to defend her
Stegasaurids

Alan's Christmas
04:04

It was a cold December evening
Alan took his dog walking
He took him down the local boozer
cos they let dogs in
Now Alan only had a couple of pints
but when he got home he was in for a shock
There in his driveway a very strange object,
he could see it through the freeing winter’s fog
It was about the size of a car
but Alan didn’t own a car
It was metallic and silver and gold
and Alan thought that it looked very old
It was a time machine
Alan found a time machine
a mother fucking time machine
Alan found a time machine … on Christmas eve
Alan found a time machine on Christmas eve
and he flew around the world in just one night
He saw ancient Egyptians
and he saw Victorians
and he saw something he didn’t think was right
Because the one thing he learned about Christmas,
Is that it’s how much money you spend -
it’s about spending time with family and friends
and time machines
Alan went back to a Victorian Christmas eve
To see if they had a better time
Was it more simple, more fun and less commercial -
with families singing Christmas rhymes?
He went back to dinosaurs
to see if they celebrate Christmas
he went back to prehistoric times
He saw a triceratops being kind to a stegosaurus
they didn’t have Christmas
but the message it was right
Alan found a time machine on Christmas eve...
Now Alan was alone,
on Christmas eve nowhere to go
dog and drink his only friends
and that would be where our story ends
…if it wasn’t for the time machine
sitting in Alan’s driveway
which we thought would play
a very important part in the story sometime
Oh, and I forgot to mention;
Alan’s wife left him last year
and he’d very much like to get back with her
if only there were some way of going back
and make things better,
back in time…
So Alan jumped into the time machine
went to a party on Christmas eve
it was exactly one year ago
Now he’s back with his wife
and they kiss under the mistletoe
Alan found a time machine on Christmas eve...
Because the one thing he learned about Christmas,
is it’s not how much money you spend -
It’s about spending time with family and friends,
being the best person that you can,
helping our your fellow man,
being kind to all your neighbours,
getting pissed and having a good time in the end
…and time machines
