if 99% of people had their private thoughts

The Beckhams don't do private.

Was today's the most moving? What a good bloke. I was in tears and want to give him a cuddle and share a pint with him

I heard bits of it, thought he had a lovely voice

Never tried Welsh Tea mind, will have to look out for that.

This week, Sir Anthony Beevor picks not one but two Blondie tracks

I would have thought he was a bit old for doing the Debbie Harry thing, but hey, many did.

Turns out he's a year younger than Debbie!

Wow! Jimmy Carr is a bit of a surprise! Half way through and utterly confused and delighted by him.

"He's very tall you know".

 

[Mogden]

Ed Sheeran was interesting. The more I learn about him, the more I like the chap. I might put Rick Wakeman on later.

Sadly I only heard bits of yesterdays edition, but it sounded great and I will be going back to listen in full.

This week's was Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook.

BBC Radio 4 - Desert Island Discs, Sheryl Sandberg

I found this very moving in parts, she's clearly still grieving for her husband.

 

[wiskey]

I thought it verged on exploitation, she was obviously very traumatised.

 

[Siouxsie]

She made me feel awkward, all that crying and coming across as very needy.
I don't think she was ready to do this...poor woman is still heavily mourning her husband

 

[planetgeli]

Charlie Brooker. Started so well with,



(what a brilliant video btw)

and descended into crap like this,



(first track but really, don't listen to any of it).

Disappointing.

 

[wiskey]

I have always thought he was a complete arse ... a POV which still definitely stands after listening to that.

Highlight was the gameboy music. Everything else about him is dull.

 

[ska invita]

and descended into crap like this,

probably having a joke with that no?

 

[planetgeli]

probably having a joke with that no?

You'd hope so wouldn't you? But...

...besides Tomorrow never knows he played unremitting crap (unless you like the gameboy Robocop music as apparently wiskey does).

He was dull.

 

[ricbake]

Did like being reminded of this - Weird - >

But hey, Angela Hartnet next week and might be good.

No, I said it was about the only interesting piece he chose

Oh no (poor kirsty) she has been replaced by Lauren Lavern Kirsty Young Desert Island Discs break

Looking forward to hearing Henry Marsh; what an amazing guy. We have several of his books. Thank goodness it's Kirsty speaking with him

 

[D'wards]

Oh no (poor kirsty) she has been replaced by Lauren Lavern Kirsty Young Desert Island Discs

Oh no. That is bad news

 

[Reno]

On the upside, she can’t be worse than Sue Lawley.

I still try and listen whenever I can. Posting Trevor Sorbie from Sunday as he sounds quite a decent bloke
especially for his work with cancer patients.

I was totally sold on him being a reasonable person... Right up until he chose every book by Jeremy Clarkson as his luxury .... I went off him after that

I just heard this and have decided that I will one day be stranded on a desert island with Sue Perkins. She likes all the best things and she's prone to over-sharing. And giggling. And crying. I think I love her.
