I switched to LBC in the car, just as James O’Brien was winding up his shift. Apparently his theme today had been Christmas Round Robins.
What he quoted from one went roughly like this:
“This year my wife’s dream finally came true and we changed all nine internal doors.”
I wasn’t about to be ROFL, well not at the wheel anyway, but I snorted. It wasn’t until I reached my destination, that the word bathos reared up from the depths where it has been languishing for a couple of decades.
And yet…and yet… Easy to sneer. That was the environment she wanted, that was her magnetic goal, which she’s now achieved. Just a pity it made it to the Round Robin.
You can listen to it, and other Robins, on today's Best of James podcast. Names were not changed to protect any sources.
