Went into living room today. To 19-yr-old daughter: "Can you turn it down a bit please?"
(I've clearly turned into my parents)
Then recognition kicks in and I realise that she's listening to Radio 1 Essential Mix. Which she downloaded at least a year ago. So actually I recognise all the tunes/songs/mixes/WTF do you call them these days?
But then I also recognise the jingles. Which leads me on to Annie Nightingale. Hands up anyone who's never heard of her.
So I ask teenagers who are in the house how old they think Ms Nightingale is:
15 yr-old son: 29.
19 yr-old daughter: 22/23.
59 yr-old dad: 64.
Well actually on her birthday, April 1st since you ask, she will be 71. (Shock, horror!)
"So why do you think she's only 22/23?"
Daughter: "Well she plays music so loud".
Jo Wiley was named after the phenomena by which she is paid about £600k a year of licence payer's money yet possesses not a single discernible crumb of talent.
ReplyDeleteAnnie was great though....
