This card
got to us despite being addressed only "Radio 4 ´óÏó´«Ã½ London" and "Dear PM" -
It's from Ray Gosling who says "the second biggest gong to big ben is Little John atop building as over. Other great cities have bongs too".
And Rose used to live in Coventry between 1958 and 1968 and says she loved to hear the cahedral bells on a summer evening while she sat in her garden. She'd love to hear that before the pips. The photo is of Lytham's Windmill and Lifeboat Museum.
But never mind the pictures: what about these sounds? Humph and Mittfh

Eddie,
I'd love to hear cahedral bells. What are they?
Ermm !
err - yes well!
Now the cathedral bells would be lovely!
Ah, Nottingham, home of my Alma Mater. Thanks for the picture of Slab Square.
I'm a TROLL, Fol-de-roll.

I'm a TROLL, Fol-de-roll,
And I'll eat you up for supper.
Note to archaeologists: This was posted at a time when Eddie Mair stated that he was remembering not to feed the trolls.
The first 4 lines come from a song about the 3 billy-goats Gruff.
Now here is a fascinating site explaining all about the old coventry bells.
They have recreated what they would have sounded like - by basing them on Norwhich cathedral!
Eddie, proof that the post office Knows where EVERYONE is.
I cant see TPT, UNS or others getting a parcel to you with so short and concise an address.

Have you heard about the merger between UPS and Fedex? Apparently they're going to be called FED-UP.
Joe Palooka (8) - Sorry Joe, you're wrong again. The chosen name is actually UPSex.
Poor Joe -
That's what comes of obtaining the majority of one's knowledge from Chris Evans :-)
Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining Co are merging and will become:
ZipAudiDoDa.
I can confirm that four licensed premises in Brighton have changed hands. The consortium responsible for the purchase of the Dog & Duck, The Bull, The Dog & Partridge and The Ox & Plough will trade under the chain name of The Dogsbullox.
I would like to apologise for the audio file under my name. Some people are not meant to be heard singing solo. I am one of them :-(.
Actually I would like to deny that it has anything to do with me. Unfortunatly too many froggers have already heard me. That means I will not be able to get away with any denial.

Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers:
New company expected to be called Fairwell Honeychild.
It's still a sexy voice though, Humph.
Treasure it!

Is the Ray Gosling who sent the postcard THE Ray Gosling, the reporter and commentator? If so, this is my chance to say to him:
"I have always loved your gentle, insightful reporting style, and wish there were far more of you on radio and TV. You're a national treasure and if you were here I'd hug you for it. GET MORE WORK!!!! ´óÏó´«Ã½, EMPLOY THIS MAN AT ONCE!!!!"
It's probably not the same man. But I've waited a long time for the chance to say that... maybe it'll get through.
Fifi
Oh gawd - do I really sound that bad?!
At least in the full mix I (almost) blend in with the rest of the crowd, but hearing me solo - that's hideous.
Some people sound OK solo (e.g. Fifi), others should never be let anywhere near a microphone (e.g. me)...
It was cruel of Eric to do that Mittfh and Humph. Nobody sounds good on their own... and no, not even I sound as good without Kneel's harmonies to hide in.
Don't listen to it any more. Actually, I may have a useful link for you about exactly this:
Trust me: the song sounds GREAT!!!
Fifi
Just wondering...
Who else thinks it would be a good idea to have Eddie's voice added to the mix?
If he needs persuading (well, he hasn't volunteered his singing voice yet!), we could pledge some £ to Children in Need for the priviledge...
After all, it's child's play compared to what his TV colleagues get up to each year...
I second that, Mittfh!
Fifi
Excellent idea Mittfh!
No I mean it!
Eddie ? Email me the contribution and I'll stick you in the mix! -- It'll be going to a good cause .. not only a good cause .. but we 'The Froggers' will pledge 'the cause' a generous amount!
How about just a comment 'within the song mix' if you don't wish your full vocal talents to be on show?
Come on Eddie - Don't let us down! -- It'll mean you'll be on 'Youtube' forever!
But seriously - It would be good and raise a few bob, Highlight PM and the Blog!
I think Mittfh (aka Ben) has a great idea.
Ball thrown to Eddie's court!
Like all of you I was shocked and horrored - mostly shocked - that any of our contributions would make it to the blog.
Therefore I obviosly deeply sympathise withe the two froggers who have been both shamed and humiliated by the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s current .. 'Name and shame' policy!

....wot an absolutley inspired idea!
go Eddie go......go Eddie go....
