If you tolerate this…

…then your children will be next, the Manic Street Preachers dourly observed. And now they’ve been proved right as Tolerance is our theme tonight on Radio 4. And by tonight I mean in half an hour. Do listen.

    I keep bloody missing this and my internet limit is at about 95% so can’t afford to listen on demand. If only Plusnet could extend it to 12 instead of 10. That’s not asking too much is it?

    I really don’t get the crush on Key thing, if anyone else tells me how adorable he is I may have to show my intolerance of such gushing! Mark I think you and the MWLATTN boys may have what they call “faces for radio” … how apt! Ok, I’m not that mean, it’s probably my advancing years, but you do all remind me of naughty schoolboys! I dread to think what would have happened had you all been chums at the same school when you were ten! Intolerable for the teachers I should imagine!

    Another fab show by the way, (should have said that bit first). Looking forward to receiving my long service award next week when I attend number six ….

    I just listened and it was an excellent show, hope your arm feels better. I am now watching you on channel 5.

    I really hope you know the quote is actually from Picasso….

    Really enjoyed the show tonight, although would have been more entertained with the other option of Clock, however will have to iPlayer the show, to hear (and not visualise as I did) to see if Plaster worked just as well. Can’t wait for next week.
    (Megan, you’re not alone in having a crush on Key, many a lady does and there is nowt wrong with that) Kx

    I will have to iPlayer it because at work, apparently, I have to do work or something.

    Staff kept asking me things and I couldn’t very well shoo them out of my office, even though I really, really wanted to.

    What I did get to hear was marvellous, though. And I think I’m developing a serious crush on Tim Key.

    Absolutely brilliant, as always. Very please I finally got to listen live, although the ending set my teeth on edge just a bit! To quote Ned from Pushing Daisies, “I’m not a ripper. I pull up a corner a little at a time and then I run it under warm water and I pull it a little bit more. It’s a process!” Very much sums up my feelings on the subject.

    I listened in a state of angry, enforced tolerance because I was supposed to be doing something social tonight and then everyone else bailed. So whilst catching the show was a bonus, being at home was a penalty I tolerated through gritted teeth…

    Please tell Tim I’m not a man, even if I do have a girlyfriend who dislikes oranegs.
