   Ooooh Arrr - That's naughty of Roger isn't it! However, shame Roger didn't take that phone call to verify the e-mail. Can he do a convincing Dundee accent?

   Would have been to see a few reactions if it ended up in print.

   It is often when one omits to log out that interesting things appear, or when one has claimed to leave the office and has claimed to leave oneself logged on *g*

   Whichever was the case, (belated)congratulations on the award.

   What award is this?

   Oh Carl - you'll have to ask Eddie - Something to do with interacting with the listeners. However he's had so many of them he let the minions pick it up whilst he enjoyed Tony Bennett.

    "bollocks on stilts"? Lovely. I fancy using that in a conversation tomorrow. Is that really the sort of thing you say, Eric?

    Bet this doesn't get through.....

    Someone seems to have changed the strapline @ 1700-ish. Liked the old one. Not complaining, cos I have a vested interest in the new one, but I thought it was midnight when it changed?

    PS Perky - 'stilts' seems acceptable...

    Love your strapline!

    Frances O (11) Great strapline!! I'm glad you mentioned that it had arrived prematurely, as I couldn't work out if I was having another dreaded ''senior moment''.

    Well very belated congratulations to the whole team on that wonderful award & the photo of Mr Rippon. Richly deserved recognition for the wonderful world that is PM.

    I'm abroad at the moment, & was hoping to send you clever photos of the May Day protest parade we watched yesterday. Unfortunately himself hasn't brought the correct cable that allows the transfer from camera to computer (story of our lives & holidays...) so I can't. Aren't you all sorry?

    I'm using someone else's computer at the kitchen table & I think our tea is nearly ready so I have to go...

    Thanks, Perky and Gillian.

    It was a bit odd...

    An e-mail from a Friend (not too far from ´óÏó´«Ã½7) says ......

    Fyi !
    Wednesday May 2, 2007

    Much amusement at Radio 4's PM studios after their Sony Gold for best interactive programme.

    An email purportedly from presenter Eddie Mair was sent to colleagues, proclaiming that it was all a triumph ... for Mr Mair. "You know all that guff that usually goes out when we win awards - all the 'I couldn't have done it without you - this award is for the whole team'.

    Well, we all know that's bollocks on stilts don't we?," the email bellowed.

    And before his colleagues could catch their breath it went on:

    "Let's face it, I'd win awards with a bunch of monkeys producing. But without me, you lot would win nad[sic], nothing, zilch, rien. Got that?

    It's all about ME ME ME ME." Very funny and - according to those who know Mair - just the kind of tongue-in-cheek ribaldry he'd be responsible for.

    But ... ping! What's this?

    The great man emails to tell us that it was all a jape organised by one of PM's producers, who was using his computer when he was still logged in - and locked in the studio. "He's toast," Mair tells us. "And he's quite right."

    Dear Mr. Mair:

    We are happy to offer our services to you as producers. We understand that you work well with monkeys, and that we can be assured of winning awards just as long as we work with you.

    Should you decide to reject our offer on this occasion, please feel free to contact us if your current producers decide that they no longer feel they can work with you.

    Still waiting to hear from Mr. Mair about our offer to produce for him, now that he's managed to offend all members of the production team.

    We know when we're onto a good thing ......
