    Did you hear the comment John Humphreys made about gwoing cannabis this am. About 7.45 after reviewing tha papers.
    Made me smile that property prices are so high cannabis growers can't go about their illegal business easily.

    Andyc, I trust that'll be the last time you mention said tv "show" on the blog!

    Carolyn has been on Today quite a bit recently, whilst there has been little sign of Sarah Montague. Any ideas why?

    Another bit of work? An appearance on C4's 'How to look good n*k*d'? That would cheer up the Blog ladies!

    Does this mean that the hotseat will be filled by someone else this evening? If so, who? Sequin's already done the early shift.

    Hip birdie, Gossipmistress!

    Nikki Noodle - another strapline success!

    And Eddie ... don't you be trying to compete with Sequin with all this overtime you're doing. We girlies are just naturally more productive and have more stamina; it's nothing to be ashamed of.

    1. Lollypop Lady
    2. Mr Bun the Baker's shop assistant
    3. Fetching the lattes for Sequin, Martha and Rupert
    4. Dusting the DG's office...

    It's not HIGNFY for The Great Mair as it is the Great Moira (Stuart) presenting this weeks edition. Foolishly pushed aside from her news reading role on ±«Óãtv One may I say in favour of alledgely we "expect our newspresenters to be more then just newsreaders they have to have jounralistic skils". Have you seen some of those, dare I use the term, bimbos on News 24 - and that's just the men! They can't even interview other jornos let alone conduct an indepth interview.

    I seem to recall Moira started her career on Radio. Can we bring her back to Radio 4?

    Sorry for the rant - its'been a difficult day down here on the Sunshine coast.

    Anyway it must be dusting the DG's office for Eric then? I think we should be told

    I'd add Hillary Anderson and Sally Bundock to the "Where Are They" list.

    For those who aren't early birds, Sally normally presents World Business Report 5:30am to 6am on ±«Óãtv World (shown on ±«Óãtv1 before Breakfast starts). I haven't seen her on that for a few weeks now. And I haven't seen/heard a report from Hillary Anderson in a long while. Where's she posted now, Eddie?

    I cannot believe that in this hive of gossip & intrigue, you lot didn't know Sarah Montague is off because she's having another baby! I mean, where have you all been ? I happened to catch her last appearance on Today, months ago, when John H said "And now you're going because you're having a baby". No hint of whether she was planning to return afterwards. Indeed, is there a space left for her? Or has our esteemed friend Miss C Quinn taken over completely, as part of her plan for future world domination?

    I woke up with a period pain this morning (sorry boys, I promise it won't get any more detailed) and needed something to take my mind off it whilst the painkillers kicked in. Couldn't face Mr Humphrys so I put the TV on. Caught last night's Big Brother opening show being repeated! Eleven women, all completely bonkers.

    Just thought you would all* like to know (tee hee!)

    *Except Val, of course, who apparently watched it last night, deliberately!

    Many thanks - it's only been there for x00 years and you're the first to bring to my attention. so much for the marketing significance of the www.

    And Val P I very much appreciate your input and perhaps you could suggest the correct grammatical way to describe the work what I do - as Sir Ernest Wise may have put it.

    What all this has to do with the PM programme escapes me but it sure makes for an entertaining afternoon. And has anyone discovered what the Great Mair was doing so early one morning? Moira was a huge success at the HIGNFY recording (according to media.guardian) so she may be lost to newsreading for ever

    Aaagh confused!!!???

    So will the real Escort Ford please stand up?!

    And, btw, who is Princess Austin???!

    [And where's Capri??!!]

    nikki noodle

    PS Actually, I think I've just got the answer to that last one: near Naples...apparently!?!

    Nikki Noodle - How can you be confused by something that is so straightforward?

    btw - I suspect the real Escort Ford will not stand up immediately as they are on holidays in the country with sheep. That is in the country that has a lot of sheep and not actually holidaying with sheep. Your are following this, aren't you?

    As for Princess Austin - well, this is a very sad story and you shouldn't make light of it. See for details.

    I can confirm that Capri is indeed near Naples.

    Now, was there anything else?

    Sorry Robert. I bet you can see plenty of web horreurs on my website ... :)

    I always liked Escorts Ford's sister, Cortina - curvy!
