Oh and some more money appears to have come our way.

If I'm not with you at 5, you'll know why. Though I may have to share the cash with Hugh Sykes whom I'll ask to collect.

Sounds like a variation on the classic 419 scam...
It's been a while since I last had someone emailing me asking to 'borrow' my bank account for the purposes of transferring large sums of ill-gotten gains - the most popular spam nowadays appears to be the ones containing a few paragraphs of random text, accompanied by an image encouraging me to buy shares in an unknown US company on the promise of large returns...
However, if it does turn out to be a genuine proposal, don't forget to order a few crates of Champagne for the revellers down on the beach before you disappear :)
Alternatively, you could set up EBC (Eddie's Broadcasting Corporation), live off the interest on the sums invested in offshore bank accounts, and relieve your boredom by presenting PM from your mansion each night and flogging it to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ for an extortionate sum...
I do hope you'll be using the money to buy a new blog?!
Hello, NBP......are you back in the office now? How was your trip?

One Two, One Two....
NBP - how'd u do dat?
Now then, Blog Prince, steady.... steady....
You'll upset the wobbly dinghy if you go trying to comment so soon!
I'm afraid a few of us have written to Feedback, asking for the inside track on the poorly frog.
Don't take it personally -- we still think PM's the best thing on the wireless!
Fifi ;o)
Looks like we're going through "Testing" times....
(pauses for groans from the assembled froggers....)
Ffred - you took the very words from my mouth :o).
mittfh - yes, I get loads of those, nothing seems to shake them off :o(
I'm grateful that my Spam is automatically diverted to its own Folder so I can delete it without having to open it. At the moment the whole world wants to sell me fake watches.
Best !

As a new PM listener I'm over the celestial wotsit to find that this bit of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ website is just as splendid as the prog.....
Hooray for all the froggers too!!

Witchiwoman - Splendid? Well there are many words to describe this place and the froggers but not usually as nice as that.
If you want to see how we normally behave, use the link up above, under Categories - Signpost to the Beach.
Have a look at a few of these. You are more than welcome to join us on the latest one.
Welcome, witchiwoman! I hope the slight "creaks" of the blog straining under pressure don't annoy you too much:-) There's some lovely beverages on the beach if you'd care to imbibe while Eddie's on the air later...
The thing with Spam folders, Gillian, is that sometimes stuff one really does want ends up there and so one misses it altogether. Or is that just me then?
Appy (18) you are (of course!) right. I had an email stuck into a Spam folder recently. It was from someone I went to school with. Simply because he went into the medical profession, all his emails got put into the Spam folder. All because his online identity listed him as Doctor A.... B......

Fearless, am I supposed to be able to guess what "A... B..." means? Am I being a bit dim?
Oops! Sorry Appy :-) I was just masking his name. It was the fact he included the fact he is a Doctor in his email ID that my spamguard thought it was one of those emails selling drugs like "mycoksafloppin" (the name they should give to impotence drugs!)
Aperitif and FFred....I guess I've just been lucky then
Fearless - Surely if the drug is to stand (sic) any chance of selling, it would have to be called "nomorefloppin"
And you boys accuse me of being naughty!...
Might have known I'd find you lot here. Is this the Naughty Corner then??
So it would seem. And there appears to be a lot of "dealing" going on. Can you sort them out???
