Apologies for

Eddie Mair | 10:51 UK time, Wednesday, 23 May 2007

something you may not have noticed but which was driving me nuts yesterday afternoon. I felt cut off from you - and you in turn were cut off from reading my pointless drivel.

There was some kind of catastrophe, and it meant we couldn't log in to write anything, or properly access your comments. It says something about the journey we've all been on (pass the sick bag, Alice) that it was actually disconcerting: to lose access to this new way of communicating with our audience.

Anyway it seems to be working again so the torrent of rubbish from me can go on.

    I didn't notice it before 4 p.m. (which is my Frogging time).

    But others have commented to this effect, including a couple of comments on the Froggers Refuge.

    Seems O.K. this morning.

    Si.

    Yes, I agree. The PM blog is a torrent of rubbish.

    Eddie: Drivel? Driving? Ah ha! It must be Magnum Eddie in his Ferrari!

    Is this the kind of rubbish to which you refer?

    Now then, I missed much of yesterday's programme - but for the best of reasons. SO and I went to see On the Town, in its final week at the ENO, and definitely, that's DEFINITELY worth seeing.

    New York! New York! a helluva town .......

    I'm so glad your catastrophe is fixed so that you can fill the huge hole in your heart where all the froggers should be!

    Were you taken aback by how strange it felt?

    Bring on the torrents of rubbish - or the dribbles of drivel; whichever you prefer ;)

    I feel this same feeling of loss. I am on late shift this week so I don't leave work until 6pm which means I do not have PM to listen to during my drive home, very sad!

    That's a relief. I thought we were heading towards a fortnightly rubbish collection!

    BTW, isn't Jim Muir doing those adverts with the annoying nodding dog? Or is that Jim Moir?

    Could your silly comment be a result of some feeling of intimate personal inadequacy on your part?

    P Elliott -

    Don't take it personally, I think DI W is just a little hyper today!

    Thanks for the time to help with the torrent; we are aiming for the big 50k and every post helps.

    B Cerbery;
    Listening to Leonard Cohen. You've got calm and suicidal mixed up.

    As far as the Liverpool fans went last night that'll be 'Waiting for the Miracle' (from L. Cohen 'The Future' 1992).

    Shame though, I'm not even a fan of football, but I wanted them to thrash the Italians. The best side on the night doesn't always win. Sadly.

    Si.
