Glasgow - Radio Silence v Radio Gaga
Glasgow City Council might prefer radio silence when it comes to equal pay negotiations which is a completely crazy or 'gaga' policy, if you ask me.
Not least because the Council's chief executive (Annemarie O'Donnell) has written again to the workforce with her own 'take' on the current state of play as far as settlement is concerned.
In addition there's a big story in today's Sunday Herald which makes this 'radio silence' business look ridiculous - see link below to the newspaper.

So to celebrate this madness here's a great song from Queen.
Queen – Radio Ga Ga
Words and music by Roger Taylor
Radio I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by mars
You made em laugh - you made em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio someone still loves you
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Lets hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
