Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the start. One of the. first
things I heard in the. summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who said, "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad". (supportive, you see. We're
not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990. is now so far away
the precise details have been obliterated by time. No diary was. kept of the
details, and although archives if they exist may give. pointers, the
ambiguity of what broadcasters. said would leave that open to
re-interpretation.
In spring. 1994, Chris Tarrant on his Capital morning show made an aside to
someone else. in the studio, about a person he didn't identify. He said,
"You know this. bloke? He says we're trying to kill him. We should be done
for attempted. manslaughter".
That mirrored something I had said a day or two before. What. Tarrant said
was understood by the staff member in the studio he. was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to Tarrant. If any. archives exist of the
morning show (probably unlikely) then it could be. found there; what he said
was so out of context that he would be very hard put to. find an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone. at the site where I was working repeated the
remark although in a different way; they said there had been people in. a
computer room. when automatic fire extinguishers went off and those people
were. "thinking of suing for attempted manslaughter".
Finally, this isn't confined to the. established radio stations. In 1990
after I had listened to a pirate radio station in South London. for about
half an hour, there. was an audible phone call in the background, followed
by total silence for a few moments, then shrieks of laughter. "So what. are
we supposed to say now? Deadly. torture? He's going to talk to us now, isn't
he?", which meant that they could hear what I would. say in my room.

well represented in the theatre.
12. Scaramouch, who only thinks of one thing.
The doctor, who speaks for a quarter of an hour after he has said
everything, so full is he of the desire of talking.
13. One likes to see the error, the passion of Cleobuline, because she is
unconscious of it. She would be displeasing, if she were not deceived.
14. When a natural discourse paints a passion or an effect, one feels within
oneself the truth of what one reads, which was there before, although one
did not know it. Hence one is inclined to love him who makes us feel it, for
he has not shown us his own riches, but ours. And thus this benefit renders
him pleasing to us, besides that such community of intellect as we have with
him necessarily inclines the heart to love.
15. Eloquence, which persuades by sweetness, not by authority; as a tyrant,
not as a king.
16. Eloquence is an art of saying things in such a way (1) that those to
whom we speak may listen to them without pain and with pleasure; (2) that
they feel themselves interested, so that self-love leads them more willingly
to reflection upon it.
It consists, then, in a correspondence which we seek to establish between
the head and the heart of those to whom we speak, on the one hand, and, on
the other, between the thoughts and the expressions which we employ. This
assumes that we have studied well the heart of man so as to know all its
powers and, then, to find the just proportions of the discourse which we
wish to adapt to them. We must put ourselves in the place of those who are
to hear us, and make trial on our own heart of the turn which we give to
