One of the many disadvantages of getting up early, which I have to do again from this week onwards, is the terrible choice on the radio. I can choose to put up with Nicky Campbell on Radio Five Live, but I’d frankly rather eat my own faeces. So I switch to Radio 4 expecting something a little more reasonable, and then I discover that John Humphrys is presenting. Has this old grump not retired yet??

Anyway, quote of the day courtesy of Emerald Bile, in a post about another programme to avoid, Arse School:

He’s written a book about correct usage of the English language, yet he doesn’t even know that the plural of Humphry is HumphrIES.
