The Breakfast Radio Diaries 033: Crankybook

 I post things, people get angry. It seems a few people woke up on the wrong side of the morgue today..

TURN OFF YOUR MONITOR

First Angry Angus wasn't even though the radio side of things. On a 3d printing page I occasionally peruse, he put up this rambling post about printing things out for his collection and selling prints. I pointed out the goblins he had in his picture weren't for commercial purposes (I know this because I've printed the same ones) and this opened the flood gates of him accusing me of assuming (which he wished was labelled as a sin) and this verbal diatribe about what he meant and how I got it so wrong. And this was across 3 separate replies without me adding a single thing, just letting him rant and rave.

I'd post up a screen shot here for your entertainment but he's deleted it. Maybe all this assuming sin from yours truly was too much?

The second Angry Anthony was radio related - I asked about the weekends highlights through our Facebook page and posted up this amusing sign I saw at the Self Made Market in Wodonga on Mothers Day.

Well I thought it was amusing but someone not having a good day didn't, responding with:

there is nothing amusing about the ridiculous crap the grubbyment has, and continues to impose upon the people!

Sigh. Can't please em all.

(Once upon a time I probably would've, endless replies to explain myself, apologies if necessary. Now though it's a nod, sip of the instant and I move on. Some people just like to spread and share their misery online. Much more important things to worry about than someone have a rough Monday on Facebook.)

BESIDES, I NEED TO GO HOME QUICKLY

'Do you know where my keys are?' -Donna

Well yes I do in fact, they're in my pocket. Right next to my set. They've been there since I borrowed her Lancer to pick up some drawers, which made getting the kids to school that little bit harder.

So I raced back home after the show was done, experienced a meltdown from my son (who didn't want to go in the first place, late or not) and amused the ladies at the front office at the school with the tale.

Well at least there's a story for tomorrow's show when Lu returns..

THE CO-PILOT RETURNS

Cross check something or other?

And not too soon either as I jumped all over the show this morning. From a technical standpoint it worked just fine, plenty of happy winners, nothing ran right into a freeway retaining wall etc.

It just seemed boring (well that's my perspective.) Maybe I'm being too harsh on myself but I don't find doing it nearly as fun without a co-host. There's a lack of zingers and spontaneity when going solo. I'm playing a lot of songs (so I have time to edit things and grab prize details) so that's a bonus, I just don't know if me rambling on about the latest thing to see and do around town is anywhere near as entertaining as Ed Sheeran doing...well anything. 

Anyway, back to bouncing off each other tomorrow. Excellent! 

NOT A DOCTOR, THE DOCTOR

Congratulations to Ncuti Gatwa for being announced as the 14th Dr Who. I shared the news this morning and realized two things: 

1. I had no idea they were looking for a new Dr at all. Shamefully I've only ever seen one episode of this amazing series with Jodie Whittaker waving around her sonic screwdriver so it looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do. 

2. I have no idea how to pronounce this guy's name. Luckily YouTube comes to the rescue again! Now that I can say his name correctly (Shoot-Tee Gat-wah) as a semi Dr Who fan, I'm keen on seeing him in action!

Right that's it for me today, chat to you tomorrow when hopefully people are a little more calm. Fingers crossed.
