niggle

"Leaf by Niggle" is a short story written by J. R. R. Tolkien in 1938–39 and first published in the Dublin Review in January 1945. It was reprinted in Tolkien's book Tree and Leaf, and in several later collections. Contrary to Tolkien's claim that he despised allegory in any form, the story is an allegory of Tolkien's own creative process, and, to an extent, of his own life, following the structure of Dante's Purgatorio. It also expresses his philosophy of divine creation and human sub-creation. The story came to him in a dream.

    Radio interruption

    I have an Mg ZSe and I love it apart from one little niggle. Everytime my phone receives a message or I open the menu on my phone it cuts out the radio and switches to usb and the only way to get back to the radio is to press the Home button and press the little right arrow.
