The Washington Metro

Listening to French Radio London yesterday morning, I heard this superb song. It was a bit strange to hear it on a mainly French language station - and it took me a while to realise that it was about the Metro in Washington DC. It's very funny - and the video is even better. I have now seen more of Remy's work - and think he's great. His website can be accessed here.

It makes me laugh...

I have become a big fan of Rhod Gilbert. Although he is from the same area in Wales that my family came from - it is in the United States that I learned to appreciate his humour. Thanks to excerpts on YouTube I was able to discover - and share with American friends some of his stories.



During my recent visit I discovered that the BBC do a podcast called "Rhod Gilbert's Best Bits", which is a selection, usually lasting about 30 minutes, of the banter on his BBC Wales radio programme each Saturday morning. I really looked forward to the new podcast each weekend while I was in Washington.  The whole programme (with music) is available on BBC iPlayer here.
