If I take you at your word, will you take a hike?

We here at Irritating Public Radio, Your Friends In The Air, have had a sudden blow recently.

One of our corporate sponsoons has had to withdraw from the business arena and our support network. Cain Ableson's Cable Installation and Weatherstripping Service, of Percival Corners, Newton Oaks, Northumbriaville, Connecticut, who knows where, has suffered a little setback in the financial area. We will miss Mr and Mrs and Miss and Ms Ableson's intense interest in our cause and their marvellous cookies. The last we heard they were considering liquidating the firm's assets and buying a Macadam Stove to try their hand at car park surfacing.... and we've tentatively agreed to let them use our southeast lot for practice.

It's a strange week at IPR, YFITA, what with employees staying home ill with a particularly evil crud, and we would like to apologise for any fall-off in service. All complaints will still be cheerfully received, but this week they will also be cheerfully ignored until Frillby, the dustbin collector, gets out of hospital, then they will be cheerfully incinerated, using the finest Belgian Natural Gas...

The Programming: (such as it is)

Tune in again next week, when we hope the antibiotics and the swine vaccines have kicked in.
