...plod looks cheerful this morning, i wonder if he knows something we don't?
Do you think you can persuade the PC to wave at us, just to prove it's a live shot?!? :p
I've been watching that policemand for half an hour and he hasn't moved once.
Eddie, I hope Tony Bennett was a bit livelier when you saw him...
Eddie,
That "live picture of 10 Downing Street" looks more like a postcard to me. You're not starting all that again are you? And another thing, where's the Water vole gone? When did you last see it?
Honestly, Eddie - such a HUGE day on the political calendar and you want us to watch a policeman? I can't believe you're not rushing around assessing something ;)
Hi Big Sis, I think he broke wind about ten minutes ago but can't be sure. Perhaps that awfully nice young lady in the pink Mac I saw on Breakfast this morning in Westminster could pop round and check.
DIY: I'd have smelt it if he had! ;o)
Lady in a pink mac? Whatever next!
To Eddie and PM,
Recently Mr Justice Mitting ruled that two Libyan terrorists, regarded as exceptionally dangerous, should be freed rather than deported to their home country. This despite the fact that both are here illegally on forged documents and have established Al Qaeda connections. One even had a map marked with the flight paths to Birmingham airport when he was arrested.
Once again Britain鈥檚 liberal activist judges decreed that the 鈥渉uman rights鈥 of terrorists should take precedence over the safety of law-abiding members of the public. Further evidence, if any was needed, that this country has gone stark, staring mad. As historian Arnold Toynbee鈥檚 said: 鈥淐ivilizations die from suicide, not by murder.鈥
DIY: I'd have smelt it if he had! ;o)
Lady in a pink mac? Whatever next!
I feel a Bay City Rollers song coming on...
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy goodbye,
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy bye bye,
You're the one guy in town I'd harry,
Ask you questions, but you would just waf-fle,
I won't miss you at all,
You did what Bush said with dodgy reasons,
Your cabinet was full of sleazons,
So, I just want you to go...
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy goodbye,
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy bye bye,
You renamed the party Labour "New",
But your policies were full of poo,
You and Maggie were two (as one),
You messed up Iraq and Doctor Kelly,
"Draw a line under"? Not on your nelly,
Take your grin, and don't come back agin...
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy goodbye,
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy bye bye,
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy goodbye,
Bye bye Blairy, Blairy bye bye...
Big Sis: re lady in pink Mac. I don't think the poor dear could help it; apparently it was the only one in the Breakfast wardrobe?
Well who'd have guessed it? Tony announcing he's standing down?? I'm astounded!!!!
SSC (10),
Rah Rah Rah! ANd excellent words on special needs.
xx (and a respectful bow)
ed
SSC: Ooh! That's wonderful!
Could we do a match between your song and 'Things can only get better'?
And lots and lots of tartan scarves, please!!!!!
Ed (12):
Thank you!
(Takes respectful bow and puts it in hair)
Still the same blog.
I was there a few weeks ago!
P.Elliott;
I recall that you've been a bit sniffy about the Blog before?
Still the same? Yup, and long may it continue. If you've cast your eye around you'll notice that along with the whimsy over ladies in pink macs outside No. 10 there is also a mass of informed and serious critical comment about the interview Eddie did with Lord Andrew Arseonis last night.
The mixture of the very daft with the very serious is what makes the Blog, and the programme itself, what they are and gets it one of the highest listener figures on radio. So many people can't all be wrong.
Si.
GossipM (12) blimey he kept that one quiet....
Moz (17)....dib dib dib, dob dob dob on the step did u?
Eddie,
Will we have to go through it all again on June 27th. Will we? Should we?
Si W:
re P. Elliot - Perhaps we should take that little cryptic comment as a compliment?
Perhaps?
Susie;
Shouldn't be any need for that. After all the result is a foregone conclusion. What new angle would there be to explore? Apart from who gets to sit in what seat around the Cabinet table.
Si.
"He will stay on in Downing Street until the Labour party elects a new leader."
What election? I thought nobody in new Labour was daft enough to stand against Big Gordon?!
Perhaps its to give Cherie time to relocate to her flats in Bristol...

Meanwhile, that policeman picture reminds me of this card:
Side 1:
How do you keep an idiot happy?
PTO
Side 2:
How do you keep an idiot happy?
PTO
Or a "webcam" that someone set up in the US, that alleged to show a live shot of a set of toilets at their workplace. It was eventually revealed to be a static photograph, with the page set of auto-refresh every 2 minutes to give the impression of an auto-updating webcam.
Si W:
re P. Elliot.....nice one me ol' mucker, you tell 'im...
Okay, I'm posting this both here and on the It's Ten Years thread, in the hope it may have an affect...
Please, Eddie, Peter, Rupert, team, don't fill up lots of the first half of the programme tonight with stuff about TB's announcement. Really, all that it deserves is about 6 or 7 minutes absolute maximum. He's NOT actually stepped down as PM. Yes, he's resigned as Labour party leader, so it is news, but we don't need lots of assessments/analyses(sp?)/retrospectives of his time. We've already had enough of that over the last year, after he announced that he would be stepping down before the 2007 party conference. It's not as if it's "breaking news" (or even broken news!) as it seems to have been on most news bulletins for the last five days or so. Please leave the story as it deserves to be left: "He's resigned as Leader of the PLP, contest will begin tomorrow, here are the runners & riders".

I enthusiastically second Ffred's motion!
A non-story if there evr was one. My sitting pheasant hen has hatched ten chicks. Now that's news!
xx
ed
EdI - thats great! Any pics?
Ed I:
re pheasant chicks, congratulations!
Champers will be left at NC's bar.
The more surprising thing is that the sun seems to be shining at 10 Downing St. today. Its been raining all day long in Dorset. And what alot of predictable utterly predictable utterly tosh tosh tosh is being rambled on the radio!
shedlily:
re tosh, try tuning to R4..or u could have tried that awfully nice Mr Wright on R2...oh...sorry u did...
DI Wyman (19) I'll ignore that comment. No need to be so offensive.
Thanks all, no pics, 'cause by the time I got back to her she had de-camped with them. i guess it's a good instinct to vacate all those eggshells and their scent. Gone to ground, but I'll see her with them sometime...I counted eight or nine hatched and saw five chicks without lifting her skirts too much.
There are at least four more hens sitting in the vicinity, and we give free corn...

ed
shedily: Love it! And, btw, your pictures are great. Where do you sell?
