We finally got to fulfil our destiny: listening to a match in the car with the door open

Yes you could listen to a match while driving somewhere but there are distractions such as other vehicles coming towards you or a shitehawk with italic number plates ‘up your hole’ in the rearview mirror, writes Colm O’Regan.

WE WERE made for it. Along with eating, using your opposable thumbs to choose a mate on a dating app, walking upright and some stuff that can’t be mentioned before the watershed, there are only a few other things that humans have evolved specifically to do and one of those is listening to the radio.

Soon we are to experience the acme of radio listening. You see, we waited hundreds of thousands of years for radio, another 20 for the mass produced car, 10 years for the car radio and live sport commentary, another decade for a fine Sunday afternoon, but we finally got to fulfil our destiny: listening to a match in the car with the door open.
