The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[AuntDaisy]

I'm thinking of getting the software to replace the word "moan" with 'criticise', but not sure whether to make it a noun ('criticism') or a verb. Maybe 'dislike', with moans becoming 'dislikes'. Not sure, but to me the word 'moans' suggests that the complaints are both tedious and unjustified, when clearly, and without a shadow of doubt, they are both justified and necessary

Ah, but then, how could I moan about, sorry criticise (dislike seems too personal), people who moan about me moaning about things? And in their turn, they might, rightly, feel a meta-moan was in order...
We remoaners need to be heard.

As in Michelle Criticise, maybe?

... Baroness Criticise to you, please

... and what about the (unrepresented on R3) Samoan and Eskimoan composers? Not to mention compositions extolling the beauty of Inchmoan.

Perhaps you missed the Olivier Latry / Víkingur Ólafsson posts?

Yes have to say Vikingur had considerably more to do and did it superbly well…

People who continually moan about Playlist programmes seem to be their most loyal listeners. Prom concerts get plenty of reaction but evening concerts during the rest of the year, hardly a mention. Might be worth flagging up forthcoming concerts that members feel might be attractive?

Well - the R3 One-Stop Concert thread is going strong....

And the Disney character Moana

... and the Samoan musician Opetaia Foaʻi composed music for said Disney film - as heard on Radio 3's "Sound of Cinema".

Nice bit of phenomenology ensconced in there, AD!

Was it Jim Callaghan who said: "You leak, I brief"? You moan, I criticise.

Or was it Bernard Woolley? "That's one of those irregular verbs, isn't it? I give confidential briefings; you leak; he has been charged under Section 2a of the Official Secrets Act"

Richard Nixon: Are you inferring...?

Alger Hiss. No , I am implying. You are inferring.

Drifted from TTN into the beginning of today's Breakfast, having given up on it since The Changes.... Tom McKinney does gabble in a way I find the antithesis of soothing at that hour. Perhaps it's partly that whoever writes his scripts (him?) gives him too many words to say other than at a gallop; and he ignores punctuation. I think Hannah French has this down to perfection, but - since I rarely listen any more - I keep forgetting that she's now on regularly on Saturday mornings: must remember.

Yes kb I find Hannah much more to my liking ….

I no longer listen to Radio 3's Breakfast programme, but am wondering whether it ever suggests that listeners might like to switch to the Today programme on Radio 4 - I ask only because the latter has taken to inviting its listeners, shortly before the end of the programme, to switch to Radio 3. This morning we were told that Tom McKinney was just about to play Hamish MacCunn's Land Of The Mountain and the Flood.
