   Who is S.O.? Significant Other?

   I quite agree with Anne.

   And, hello Eddie, nice to hear from you again. Can we get a postcard from you, too?

   SB1 but I doubt it.

   A strapline and a postcard, but will you be playing any of Andy’s music on PM?

   Crikey, I only sent it yesterday afternoon. What fabulous efficiencies of our public services!

   Great statue! You have to read the book - 'The Magic Pudding' by Norman Lindsay I think. Could be the next cult blockbuster revival ...

   Well, Eddie and Lissa, the cheeky spoof newsletter or whatever still hasn't arrived.

   Now, my newsletters, for reasons best known to my IMAP provider, always end up in the SPAM folder. Could it be, therefore, that the blockage has been caused by all that grease congealing in the tubes?

   Just a thought.

   But, Eddie, please don't try crawling down the tubes to deblog. We like you too much. You'd be in a real kerfuffle. And you need to be back in your seat by 4.55.

   Big Sister (5),

   Maybe because your email address is blind carbon copy (BCC), your IMAP provider assumes the newsletter is spam?
   You might have to configure it to accept PM newsletters.

   Since, apart from congratulating andycrKingoftheWorld, this thingy doesn't seem to have any particular theme, can I use it to ask if anybody knows anything about Ronald Dworkin? He was on Thinking Allowed yesterday, and whilst I didn't catch all of it, it and what he was talking about sounded quite interesting. I'm wondering if anybody knows enough about him and his theories to be able to tell me if it's worth taking a gander at his book, or if it would be a waste of time and effort.

   I used to love the last theme tune used on PM. I just had a listen to it on the PM History page - featuring Ed Lowe and Jeremy Vine as co-presenters.

   There is a trail for a story that Ed Lowe reads out - ..................

   'And why monacled arrogance is the ideal role model for a troubled youth'

   I'd love to have found out what on earth the line related to.

   Yes I'd love Andy to post a PM theme on his site.

    Does this mean no newsletter at all today? *sob* You can always post it here so the froggers can see it :o)

    I've sent one pointless p/card from the trip this week. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a really bland one. Still I look forward to having it appear next week...

    Big Sis (5) I think we ought to avoid any references to a greased-up Eddie, just in case it gives Appy the wrong idea! :p

    Dr H : I always thought PM should have a signature tune ... "Its PM at, 5pm" might sound nice with it.

    Maybe he could give away one of my pics (signed) as a prize too.

    (the flickering seems slow here, anyone notice that today?)

    Well thankyou for mentioning my (now a bit elderly) chooons. As I've had two requests (so far), here is a direct link.

    Andy -- maybe the last 30" of Charabanc ? Its PM at 5PM :-)

    Well, it accepts all kinds of other rubbish.

    It's quite bizarre, really. Something about the PM address seems to send it in a spin.
    And the IMAP isn't awfully helpful when it comes to trying to tweak things.

    I spent a while this morning trying to alter the Spam filter, but got nowhere, and the Help Desk haven't replied to my query either.

    Oh well, I guess I'll just have to put up with retrieving Eddie from the bin.

    That's certainly odd, Big Sis. I never get issues with Eddies' newsletter, the BH newsletter or the WATO newsletter. However, some of the other newsletters from outside Auntie

    do
    occasionally get filtered so I have to retrieve them from the bin...

    *yawn* is it me or is today dragging (that's Today the day, not Today the programme. I don't think Sarah Montague's voice could ever> drag :o) )

    I guess it just depends upon the way the provider sets it up. It maddens me that I cannot get in to sort it out. But at least I know its little ways.
    Today does seem a bit slow after yesterday. What a pity you weren't around to enjoy the fun! Still, speaking personally, I've got more done today ......

    Well, all I can say is that our male bloggers do seem to have a tendency to be seriously fit!

    Except we don't really know about Wolf, with that sheep suit on. Maybe we should call him 'Wool', not 'Wolf'.

    (this is a non-gendered, non-sexuallly oriented invitation for him to reveal a little more of himself, should he wish to take it in that way...)

    I clicked on Wolf's name taking me to his website and if you spend sometime there you will find he does a partial striptease. (Bit like hunting the Easter egg on a DVD (if that makes sense)

    I'll let you discover what I'm talking about :-)

    Frances O(or should that be Oooh!) (21) I'm speechless! Just for that, I won't send in a postcard with my photo on it :p

    I'll be doing the chocolate run this morning. The list's written, but if anyone wants something added let me know....

    Frances, I know that it means, but you just expect it in some contexts. I don't think I've been able to utter things like "cor, i'n't she fit!" for years. Well, not without doing so in a sort of knowing way!
