In this crazy

Eddie Mair | 15:06 UK time, Tuesday, 6 March 2007

tri-media world we all work in, a well known ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ correspondent has just popped into the PM office to recount a tale of his visit to telly make up a few moments ago. They made up only one of his eyebrows, explaining to him that one didn't match the other, colourwise.

On the plus side no-one said they were too close together.

Wild horses would not drag his name out of me.

    I think the licence payers have a right to know the name! After all, maybe we feel the expence of tmake-up for this correspondent is an extravagence!!!!!

    I'm sure there are means. I think they should have left it and waited for someone to complain on Points Of View.

    Mr. Mayor is well known. He is a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ correspondent. And him popping into the PM office would be quite a normal thing to happen. I wonder if there is a reason why the picture at the top of this page is monochrome.

    Ap (6) - I have only just got into the office and this is my first post of the day. For once, I'm innocent.

    Gossipmistress - We have endeavoured, but in vain. We believe that said gentleman may impart some knowledge if he were under the influence of substances, as suggested by Aperitif, but he seems at present to be abstaining.

    May we take this opportunity of proffering our sincerest apologies for our failure to provide satisfaction.

    My money's on John Simpson. The Post Karbul, post burkah Simpson, that would be, of course.

    If it's him (John Simpson), now we know why he wore the burkah. Eyebrow shame.

    Wild Horses - keep trying. You're not dragging him fast enough, obviously.

    Well done for not sniggering when introducing the Tesco 'petrol' apologist Trevor Datsun !!!

    Spose we should have watched the telly news to find out who was doing a pre-recorded piece.

    But there. That's silly telly for you. Eyebrpws, quotha!

    (btw, that's nothing to do with quotes or quota. As you know.)

    Lovely thing about radio is it does eyebrows perfectly. You can HEAR them being raised.

    Bedd Gelert - I missed that. Really?

    Good dog.

    Wild Horses (12), Eddie is clearly far too abstemious. I mean, I'm always offering him pre-dinner drinks, but he never takes me up on it. He knows there's an Aperitif just waiting for him, but no... hey ho...

    Has anyone seen MadMary lately?

    Eddie - you're wrong I'm afraid; wild horses would drag the name out of you, they'd be pleased to...

    All you have to do is let them.

    :oP

    (15) Bedd Gelert - yes, I laughed happily when I heard Mr. Datsun being sorry about the cars. Wonderful.

    Happy pancake day everyone - are you having pancakes? I am!

    Aperitif! I'm here. I managed to hear the programme yesterday and today and that's a first for about two weeks. Work commitments have been onerous.

    Eddie's voice has been missed. If he does take you up on a drink don't forget to toast me!

    Pancake Day again already? (Bod - 19)

    It'll be Christmas next week at this rate...

    It's really good to hear your voice again! Tell us what you have been up to.

    Perhaps John Simpson could spur the camels into action? I hear he's masterly with them. Didn't you know he single handedly rescued Lawrence of Arabia from the famous camel stampede of 1924?

    That's so strange that I just wondered where you were Mary and now you're back -- welcome!

    Shrove Tuesday was the day before Ash Wednesday, as usual. We are well into Lent now. Are you feeling a little behind Bod?

    Oh dear ... sorry all. I was informed it was Pancake Day by the porky-pie teller, Mr. Bod, who adores pancakes and I went to great lengths to create pancakes with syrup and lemons. The kitchen is an industrial wasteland.

    Anyway, soon be Easter, hooray!

    Ap (28) - If Bod feels a little behind, a big behind or any other type of behind, I think that's her business!

    Bod, do enjoy your pancakes anyway. RJD, behave yourself! :-)
