    Judith, I doubt Eddie was even alive when that happened, so don't blame him!

    Eddie: I do trust you. But - do you trust all those around you who keep making all these promises, e.g. of Blog improvements, (No, Twitter wasn't what they had in mind - come on, you know we don't believe that!), new webpages, etc., etc.?

    I feel that a principled man is being let down by those around him. And you should stamp your foot!

    By the way, I didn't have time to lodge this in the Glass Box yesterday, but I did think you handled Mr. Thompson very well. I just hope this won't affect the 65% pay increase you were hoping for when your contract comes up for renewal - which I imagine is quite soon?*

    (*I noted Fi Glover referred to the imminent renewal of her contract)

    I'll trust you after you've all done some trust, arrogance and deception re-training. Nothing personal of course.

    Yep, you can now trust us to be arrogant in our deceptions.......

    ......ok....ok......i'm off to the naughty step......

    Paul (7): No, I think they are managing it well without being taught how to do it as well.

    I trust the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to the extent that, if I am experiencing internet connection problems at a client site, I will try and open the ´óÏó´«Ã½ News website first as it is so frequently updated and so infrequently innaccessible. If that doesn't work, something is wrong with the magic.

    I just think it's sad that all competition phone-ins etc have been suspended when no one would dare try it on this week...

    Well I did trust you, until I tried to call the 'phone number in today's PM Newsletter in an attempt to win the quiz...

    I did. Trust me. Honest.

    P.S. Any jobs going..?

    Remember, Eddie Mair is an anagram of "dire media", which seems oddly appropriate...

    So I might as well use this opportunity to have some more anagram fun :)

    Or, if we use Eric Mair (in honour of the newsletter), we get "a rice rim" or even "I'm Carrie"...

    ...anyone willing to do a spot of photoshopping to see what Eddie would look like in drag? :)

    I attempted Sequin yesterday, so after learning of Eddie's nominative revelation, what of the PM locum?

    Carrie Gracie = Eric, rig a race! OR rig a rice race

    Oh dear, even Carrie isn't innocent! :)

    I can't remember the surnames of the PM editors, so I'll leave someone else to see what amusing nominative niceties they bring up.

    Onwards...

    Mark Thompson = map short monk, pro mask month, monk harm post, monk shot pram

    Neil Nunes = senile nun (!)

    John Humphrys = (none found, probably due to lack of vowels)

    (And from the Anagram Genius archive)

    British Broadcasting Corporation = Horrid, patrician, bigot, snob actors.

    British Broadcasting Corporation = Snobbish, daring or patriotic actor.

    British Broadcasting Corporation = Bigot chat radio: No script or brains.

    Thou Shall Not Lie = O Hell! A hot insult.

    But if the Beeb wants any help in government bashing...

    Spose that's the end of Paddy's honey spoon, then.

    No! You naughty steppers, that is quite unsaucy. Honeyish, but unsaucy.

    Well... after your interview with the D-G, Eric, I do trust you.

    And out of all the broadcasters in all the club bars in the world, I'd still trust the Beeb first.

    Good old broadcorping castration.

    Eddie's silent (but sinister) laughter. A la Peter Lorre.
