Although it looks very much like the grand total of 50p has been lavished on this ludicrously niche TV Channel(aimed I gather at 3 men and a highland terrier ensconced in a bothy somewhere North of Castelbay), is it the nichest of the niche? Or is there a Channel that transcends even BBC Alba in terms of minscule telly audiences(Channel 5 doesnt count).

I have a friend that is in the know. BBC Alba has caused a great deal of annoyance within the Beeb as it has been set up as a cap doffing exercise to the Scots Gaelic speakers and SNP. It has a tiny audience but is set up as proper channel with a big budget and its own bandwidth. Other (bigger) niche areas have to grovel for space on the other BBC channels.

I think you're confusing me with an Aussie...now you don't want to do that do you? :'(

exactly, we kiwis are far too refined to use bizarre slang such as flamin' galah, eskie and arvo.


Now I must find my jandals so I can pop down to the dairy to buy some mellow puffs and burger rings, and then call in at the bottle store to pick up some stubbies and a slab of DB for the chilly bin before heading to the bach.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
