   I thought the art of being a good journalist was to ask an open question which got more than a yes/no answer? Your 31 second question deserved more than a straight NO. Come on Eddie what do you say?

   We've all done it, Eddie. My husband this morning was overheard repeatedly calling somebody Kevin, when the poor chap's name was Gavin, and despite being patiently corrected on several occasions, he kept calling the poor chap by the wrong name.

   As to the question ..... I've heard both Ed Stourton and James N make similar howlers. What a laugh!

   Eddie, that's just one of the reasons we love you.

   For reasons I won't go into here, in August I found myself on stage doing backing vocals with a punk singer called Jessi, on some train songs.

   My regular guitar player had lent Jessi his acoustic guitar, as the pickup on mine wasn't working and Jessi hadn't brought one.

   After we finished the set, as the (rather surprising) applause was dying down, Jessi made a big thing of thanking Neil, now standing at the back of the crowd, for lending him the guitar.

   Which is a shame because the guitar player's called Karl. Or he was until then...

   By the way it's now ten past four and my newsletter hasn't arrived yet.

   Perhaps the ´óÏó´«Ã½ pigeon decided to try walking for a change...

   The problem with names reminds me of an interview panel I chaired some years ago. We tried to put candidates at their ease by being informal and when I asked one candidate if she minded if we called her Jane, her frosty reply was, "Well yes, because my name is Sharon".

   I realised to my horror that I had inadvertently mixed up the application papers but I still wonder if I shouldn't have brazened it out and said " I know, but I have a bad memory and prefer to call everybody Jane, even men".

   
   (By the way - we didn't offer her the job and given and her failure to join in the laughter from the rest of the panel which went on for some time, I don't think she would have accepted it if we had)

    Now we'll have a new clip as Eddie Calls Sir Menzies Sir Malcolm.

    Was it on purpose, just to keep the archives going?

    t l Samantha (8),

    Hi there. I see you're taking us back to the "all mattresses are called Zem" and what do you call your duvet issue.

    Do you think Eddie will put out the Menzies (sp?)/Malcolm clip?
