Have you heard that somewhat weird BBC Radio 2 program about ‘live gardening’, was on again around 1.45ish today I think.
I changed channels and there was some bloke ‘gardening’ on the radio. It seemed to imply he was pulling out a post on an allotment in real time and then planting some beans, all broadcast via his mobile phone. Its really odd as there are bits of speech, then a pause while he picks up a hammer or whatever and you hear vague sounds of tapping, lots of heavy breathing as he ‘wiggles his post’ then declares is is too deeply embedded, but as everything is wet it should slide out smoothly once it get moving. I kid you not. I heard this allotment broadcast once before, I think he was digging that time but the sound of the earth turning was too faint for anyone to pick up – its beyond weird.
Perhaps even odder in some way was the studio presenter (Jeremy Vine ??) suggesting the bloke use a pair of pliers to help extract a fence post 2 feet deep in the ground – just how big are his pliers? God help his wife if he ever tries DIY around the home!
