Man - despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication, and his many accomplishments - owes his existence to a six inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.

Radio 7??? When the freak did Radio 7 come into being?? I only remember as high as Radio 4.

(I was in the UK from '89 to '96 so admittedly, my info is a leetle out-of-date).

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

I think these must be re-runs, as I believe I listened to them a few months ago.  They're okay, but what's strange about MR James is that reading the text is much more effective than dramatizing them, or at least I found it so.
