'umble request to shoutcasters

[grumpy]

Please could you put the date of your broadcast on your subject headings when advertising your show. A heading "Shoutcast today at 8.30" becomes quite confusing when it's already tomorrow. I find myself staying in when I could be out and vice versa. Thanks.

If you look at the date the original message was posted Grumpy all can be revealed, for example this Thread Started on Today at 3:51pm. I take your point though and will try to make it slightly less confusing for you ;-)

You will have to allow for my incipient senility, Mikey. Of course, if I had looked closer, I would have noticed that. Please ignore my message and carry on casting.

By the way you may be interested to learn that one of the teachers at the college here whose family comes from St Vincent has, unbeknown to me until yesterday when she enlisted my help in my professional capacity as librarian, been doing research on her Garifuna and Carib background and in particular the language. You will no doubt be thrilled to hear that she was beyond delight when I was able to lend her the disc of paranda music you sent me some time ago after you'd played a Paul Nabor song on one of your broadcasts.

Fabulous, are the Caribs or Garifuna (never run into the Garifuna before) related in any way to the Paranda of Honduras Grumpy? I am indeed delighted that music can occassionally be returned to those who should own it. In fact, that really cheers me up. I'm having a horrid night tonight having had my request for a wage rise (to something verging on agricultural worker levels) refused, on various grounds, all of them spurious. The thing is, I feel so undervalued and it's a horrid feeling. It just makes me feel stupid for giving of myself for much too long. I'm so angry.

P.s. I have heard that there is some Carib influence in Mento.
