   Eddie - Can we have a caption competition with the last of the photographs? I want to know what the girl on the left foreground is saying/thinking!

   I do hope he wasn't sent to report on the recent discovery of a species of bog-flower that was previously thought to be extinct. So rare & special it only exists in the one SSI, in Poland.

   Because it looks like he just sat on it, & I wouldn't give much for its chances of survival.

   I think I’d want to fall down if there were all these young ladies to help me up.

   (P.S. How on Earth do you edit Europe?)

   Well, at least everyone present at the time seemed to see the funny side of it! I can't tell for sure what mark's reaction was, but it looks like he's laughing to me!

    Looks like they've just recovered him from a particularly terrifying bungee jump.

    How refreshing that at least 2 of his team (one visible and one behind the camera) didn't rush forward to help him out of the shuch!

    Pictures on the wireless.

    Marvellous.

    Just heard the soundtrack on PM.

    Was that a trace of a Sean Connery impression I detected in thanking Mark for his 'inssssightful' report?

    Hee hee!

    And how does one get a job where you have to wander about the countryside with three lovely ladies and a vertically challenged dougal on a stick?

    Of course, Mark's excuse will be that he was hot and needed to cool down...

    Mud! Mud! Glorious mud!
    Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood!

    Unfortunately, he hadn't counted on a member of his team having a digicam and Eric in her contacts (or cameraphone and Eric on speed-dial)...

    I thought he managed to pass over the incident quite well during the broadcast ;o}

    RJD - I think she's thinking " Boy, am I glad this is radio - you can't take some broadcasters anywhere...and he can walk home too, it should dry off nicely"
