@tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 Love the Bach music. I think of that scene in Smiley’s People, when Smiley (Alec Guinness) puts on the record player for Bach’s Prelude I in C major (from the second book of the Well Tempered Clavier. So atmospheric and poignant amid the danger

@PlusTovell @tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 I don’t get this at all. I visualise the beauty of Emperor Franz-Josef’s ballroom and the wonderful gowns shimmering in the palaces of Vienna

@tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 I’m afraid I cannot hear The Blue Danube without seeing this image

@Johnsonsimon23 @_F_B_G_ Come is an entreaty/ request, imperative form. Comes would be present tense singular’it’

@_F_B_G_ Thy Kingdom comes..!

Find it completely astonishing that the (otherwise very good!) Thy Kingdom Come initiative is insisting on using a version of the Lord’s Prayer that a) doesn’t match with its title b) doesn’t- as below- match with its content and c) no normal person knows!

@BBCRadio3 R3 controller - stop destroying R3! Relegating Free Thinking to once a week on R4, stopping drama to pay for a clone of Classic FM. The silly voices, the drizzle music. Also - why now does every evening concert start with an atonal world premiere? One extreme t’other

Nick Grimshaw is a big fan of Radio 3 Unwind – pass it on 🤫 You can listen to the stream on BBC Sounds ✨

@DaveWishingsky @BBCRadio3 No thanks! I can’t be doing with the silly voices or the light weight drizzle music. Stop destroying R3 - dropping drama to pay for a clone of Classic FM, relegating Free Thinking to once a week on R4 and every evening concert now starts with an atonal world premiere

@BBCRadio3 And this is a recommendation?

@EdwardoBankio @BBCRadio3 Radio 1/2 presenter I think.

@BBCRadio3 Who’s Nick Grimshaw?

@SpokesmanBooks @BBCRadio3 I’m really irked by - dropping of drama, Free Thinking (relegated to R4 once a week) and that all evening concerts start with an atonal world premiere. Not to mention the silly voice nonsense of R3U…

@BBCRadio3 What’s the budget for Unwind?

@tom_mckinney @BBCRadio3 Welcome to Breakfast! Always a fabulous programme.

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 We will miss you at breakfast!

last early morning commute … @bbcradio3

@FrDidymus Tune!

@FrDidymus I didn’t know that there was any other time for this hymn

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 I have discovered Rosemary Conley, Jane Fonda, Barbara Currie yoga & Lynne Robinson Pilates fitness DVDs. Though I have a gym membership also, the DVDs are absolutely fantastic. I do a mix of workouts 4 times per week . So convenient and satisfying!

Morning! Nightmare journey in today and Day 3 of my horrible gym challenge 😶 We’ll make it all better @BBCRadio3 @ 9.30 with Beethoven’s Spring Sonata, Handel’s Water Music, the Waltz from 🦢 Lake - and Satie’s 3 Pieces in the Form of a Pear 🍐 is in the Playlister. Join us! 📻

@friel_raymond It depends on the school. I changed primary schools aged 8. First school much nicer than the second. Second one, rougher with bullying boys. There boys more valued than girls. Secondary school more even. Not always clear direction though. Need to be fairer and kinder.

Four months to write my new book on Catholic education. Should keep me on the straight and narrow! Currently pondering the key concept (see Vatican II) of the “atmosphere” in a Catholic school. What defines it, what makes it different? Thoughts welcome, good people.

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Hi Petroc, could you track down and play the fado song that features in the 1979 BBC Tinker Tailor series? Não te importas de quem chora" (Don't care who cries) by fado artist Fernanda Maria. I’ve not been able to find it! Thank you! Paula

Good Morning. Join us for Breakfast @BBCRadio3 Eric Esenvalds & Polyphony take us down a long road, a piano trio by Johann Sterkel, who ruled over music making in Mainz in the late C18, Ethel Smyth writes a mass and Ruth Gipps celebrates Ambarvalia, a Roman animal fertility rite.

@beatricegroves1 @stephenkeeler I do generally love perfume that contains oakmoss . I did not know what it was. It would be lovely to find some in the wild and smell its scent.

Fabulous frills of oakmoss 🩶 Oakmoss is an edible lichen and has long been used in the perfume industry for its pungent, woody scent. Despite the name, it is not a moss & does not grow particularly on oak🩶

@TheEconomist @TruthGundlach Isn’t this what Max Kaiser has been saying for years?

“In the coming years expect dollar debasement, debt restructuring or both.” America’s government is on its way to bankruptcy, argues @TruthGundlach in a guest essay econ.st/3VImpoi 👇

@SisterWalburga That prompts me to read her books! John le Carré is a great writer of the genre. tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Karla trilogy) and The Spy Who came in from the cold too.

Stella Rimington former head of MI5. Wonderful spy novels that capture how unremarkable everyday life can be hiding all sorts. Real eye openers and very enjoyable

@owenjonesjourno Have you had an ultrasound check for gallstones? I had these a few years ago and an attack felt like someone punching me repeatedly in the stomach.

OK so, against my better judgement, I've developed some health issue and wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this in the hope you can help... First thing on Monday it felt like I had heartburn when I ate, so I started taking Gaviscon. Anyway, it got worse and worse. On Tuesday morning I got some Omeprazole (20mg). Throughout the day, a burning sensation in my stomach became a constant. In the evening, it got a lot worse, and got combined with a very bad headache. We called 111, they wanted to send an ambulance, but went to A&E on our own steam, they did an ECG which was all normal. They prescribed Lansoprazole 30mg and Dihydrocodeine 30mg. I saw my GP yesterday, and he ruled out e.g. stomach perforation or ulcer. He thought it oesophagitis, though pointed out that just meant my oesophagus was inflamed for an unknown reason. He did say he'd never come across such a severe case before and found that curious but didn't think necessarily meant cause for an alarm. But despite being on treatment, I had the worst night last night - thanks to severe burning pain in my stomach. I haven't had a meal since Tuesday afternoon, and eating even tiny amounts of food sets off hideous levels of stomach burning. Drinking water is a struggle - I can only get away with sipping, otherwise, again, it's unbelievably painful. I don't have any other symptoms at all. I don't feel nauseous in the slightest. I actually feel hungry and would love to eat a proper meal. My energy levels are pretty good given the circumstances. So basically what the fuck is going on here? I'm actually now clinging on to a Gaviscon allergy - that I did have mild heartburn and I've been drinking poison without realising it, and if I stop taking it, things will go back to normal. When I take it - e.g. before going to bed last night - it burned badly and seemed to set off the severe pain. But I don't know if that's just because anything I ingest sets it off. Sorry to throw this at you but I'm obviously a bit fed up about it all and would love to find out if anyone else has gone through this or there's any pointers...

@JohnJCrace Will definitely be joining you. I really don’t like the toxic environment either!

I am also now on Bluesky in the hope of a less toxic environment. Please do follow and join me for the ride. Hopefully it will be fun. I'm @MrJohnCrace@bluesky.social
