Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

BBC Commentators not knowing the classics

One of the Chinese pairs in the figure skating competition at the Winter Olympics was competing to a very well known piece of music. The BBC commentator (probably Paul Dickinsen) then announced:

"and that was performed to a piece of music called Kashmir, by J. Bonham".

For Christ's sake. Kahmir is only one of Led Zeppelin's best songs taken off one of the biggest albums of the Seventies... Do the commentators need to be educated, at least as to who "J. Bonham" is?
