That'll be me. If I'm awake at 6.30 and he's on, I re-tune to radio 5. If it's Sara Cox or someone sitting in, I'll stick with radio 2. My tweet when I heard this morning:- Jon Dunn@cromercanary Just heard that @ChrisEvans is quitting the early morning program on @BBCRadio2. Wonderful news, hope they choose his replacement wisely. I can't be doing with the radio equivalent of #Tiswas at 6.30 in the morning so won't listen to the ginger twerp.
I must be getting old (?) but I listen to - and quite enjoy Bob Harris country music prog on a Wednesday evening 8 - 9 p.m. I think. The only 2 I really dislike are Evans and Craig Charles.
England's highest Test run-scorer Alastair Cook will retire from international cricket after this week's final Test against India. The opener, 33, has scored 12,254 runs and made 32 centuries in 160 Tests - all England records. One who really can be called a legend Thanks Ali,its been a pleasure watching you.
I have heard from the hospital, I have my pre op on Wednesday 12th September followed by the procedure on Monday 17th A couple of weeks after that I should know a lot more Fingers crossed
**Totally off topic alert** Woe is me!! I've recently had to switch from peritoneal dialysis to haemodialysis which means a fluid restricted diet. No more than 1.2 litres in total per day - to include things like gravy, custard, jelly, yogurt, ice cream etc. Apart from good yogurts, I'm not fussed about jelly etc BUT as I love a cuppa Rosie Lee (or two!) that leaves no room for a pint of Abbot Ale Beer is defo a thing of the past and as dialysis (barring a transplant) is ongoing, how am I going to cope sans amber nectar?
Sorry to hear that Cromer I used to house share with a lad who finally had a transplant, he wasn't a drinker so what excited him most was being able to enjoy his favourite food, the humble banana, a definite no-no when on dialysis because of the potassium therein
Indeed so. Apart from the fluid restriction, foods high in potassium, phosphate (Cromer crab ) and sodium (salt) have to be watched closely. Got home from hospital at 8.30 on Weds and didn't feel like cooking so had a standard sized, 400 gm microwave ready meal - which contained 36% of my daily salt intake! Regular blood tests flag up if any of the above are creeping up and my potassium and phosphate levels are within acceptable limits at present. Ironically, I got to Cromer dialysis unit on Weds at 4 p.m., on the machine by half past and was immediately asked if I wanted a cup of tea 'Just half, please' was the long faced reply Sorry all, not after the sympathy vote at all, just explaining my recent spells in hospital and absences from the forum. Last word on the subject
