The Radio Intolerance Game

Easy rules. Switch on the radio. Select a random station.

Say how long it was before you had to turn it off and why.

I will start the game.

Today

On.

LBC News Radio which thinks it is a competitor to Radio 4

One sentence:

Presenter: "If they grab your mobile and tablet, you're stuffed in life terms".

Off!

I switched on 'The Arrow' this evening whilst cleaning up the kitchen. It was too guitary for my mood. Switched to Absolute 70s, happy.

But how many minutes TBN?

More than 15 and you like it really.

The other game is to play just a sentence from six stations in quick succession and form a story. I'm going to do it now: There's the tree - a sign from the gods that they haven't given up. (Radio 4). Small things can make a big difference when it comes to mental health. (LBC). The first time since its release and he's massive now. (Capital). I was 16, he was 21; he rode with us to Memphis and papa would have shot him if he knew what he'd done. (Radio 2). And the police eventually took fingerprints? (5 Live). Erm, he came over to us from Millwall and that pretty much helped us to get where we needed to go. (Talksport). All totally genuine!

Literally 35 seconds - it was too much.

I like the idea of the other game; I'll try it tomorrow.
