Meet Mr Blog!
"Hi, I'm Chris - Eddie's christened me Mr Blog - probably because he caught me when I should have been getting the tea-round in. I'm told I narrowly escaped the Bond-villain-esque title of Dr Blog - but the 大象传媒's only spare white cat is currently on loan to Blue Peter - and I'm not a Doctor.
I'm going to be part of the new iPM programme team, hoping that the scars and bruises I've collected in the 2 years I've been producing and co-presenting the radio experiment that is "Pods and Blogs" on 5 Live, will help the new programme find it's blogging feet quickly. If there's one thing I've learned from trying to turn the conversations taking place on to the web into radio, it's never to underestimate the profound depths of your own ignorance. Setting yourself up as an expert on the blogs is as futile as claiming to be an expert on 鈥渂ooks鈥, the scope is just too great. Bluntly, I'll need your help to keep an eye on the best of what's being discussed in the "blogosphere"..
Aside from that I'm 5'10", cursed with Harry Potter hair, and my favourite food is kedgeree..
If you would like an illustration..here's a picture me reporting from the virtual world Second Life, back in the days when reporting from Second Life was something new."

Hello Chris,
Do you know how to make this Blog work properly or do you, too, get sent to Room 502?
Oh, and I like kedgeree too.

Pass out the zimmer frames to froggers like me. It looks like the younger generation has arrived.
I dread to think how the usual gang are going to react to this.
A few mis - remembered reminiscences of Chiswick House isn't going to cut it....
...and 'I refer you in the link to my 1972 web site with much the same content' isn't going to sound plausible...
We're best correcting obvious errors and complaining about the technology. So, Chris, could you please include some blips to keep us occupied?
PS Just before I drown in my own vituperative rhetoric... (A bit like a yeast cell in its own lethyl alcohol excretions)....
Did you see Stephen Fry on Aids? He was excellent - tender and charming.
And his words about Ned Sherrin were perfect. (Incidently Milicent Martin (TWTWTW's little black dressed singer can still be glimpsed as Daphne Moon's mother in Frazier repeats).
If this is down to lithium maybe all over - exposed celebritities should be on it. (Whoops if this illegal ethyl self poisoning continues I shall only be fit for the other drunkards on the Beach.)
PPS Who said this ''The subprime crisis was, he said, memely the 'catalyst' for an 'accident waiting to happen' in asset prices of all kinds not just housing..'
Am I quoting myself in my discusions with 'he who cannot be named'?
No, its Greenspan in the Independent yes ter day, page 34.
PPS Why not interview David Davies today? Surely he's been fitted up by Cameron and must feel it. Cameron is making gains by stealing his leadership manifesto wholesale, after the 'Hugga' false trail which did nobody no good nohow. And word is DD IS peeved about it more than somewhat!!
PPPS Still don't see how this prog works unless we're all listening on line and surrender screen control and get lead from one site to another with studio etc comment.
PPPPS Back to old fashioned us. (And I'd better be quick 'cos I see a whole posse of 'Thought for the Day' moralisers arriving from the Beach)
My PM Blog strapline:
PM Blogging : Beats shouting at the radio.
(Think I saw that one somewhere, though. Still it gives the Beach pontiffs something to pont about).
Yours till the air waves goodbye

Hello Chris. I've had four 502s so far today. Is this the future for iPM?
Is that like a virtual room 502?
Not holding my breath..........
Hello Mr Blog! Can you sort out our bloggage or do you know a man who can?
Welcome to the PM team, Chris.
It could be a lot worse. The world-renowned 大象传媒 sense of humor could have called you "Mr. Bloggy"!
Hello Chris, I too eat kedgeree, it's the only way I've found of eating Pilchards without running to the bog.
Speaking of disguising taste, will PM be dealing with the RED ARROWS snub by the 2012 organisers on the program today ?
I do like the sound of my own voice, it bounces so nicely off the walls....
RachelG - they were probably trying to keep the 502s secret until Chris got settled.
Chris - welcome, pop down to the Beach sometime; it may well be working by the time you get there.
RachelG - I think they were trying to keep the 502s quiet until Chris had settled in.
And Chris - welcome! Come down to the Beach sometime (we should be having a sparkly new one soon. I hope. Please.)
If anybody should not want to show their culinary ignorance, kegeree is an Indian dish of rice, lentils, onions, eggs and spices. It can also be an English dish of flaked fish, boiled rice and eggs, usually served hot.
I did not know that but I looked it up in my Reader's Digest Universal Dictionary.
You can learn a lot on this blog.
I still prefer my pork chop and numerous veg.

Welcome Chris - you shouldn't have any problems. We all find that the 大象传媒's technology works flawlessly and besides none of the froggers would ever dream of complaining. The quiet life beckons. Trust me, would I lie to you?
Does Second life have a second radio 4 with a second pm with a second blog?
And does it get 502ed?
Welcome, Chris!
So... are you going to be reading out what's on the frog? Er - that's my initial interpretation of what you said.
Bet it's much more fun than that. Cos PM letters does a bit of that, anyway.
Mr Blog, A problem for you !
Why are there so many repeated comments on the blog ?
The moderator seems to reject many comments, but seems unable to remove the repeats.
Why ?
I'm just as mystefied now as I was when Eddie tried to describe what this programme's to be about.
Oh well. I won't be able to interact with it anyway, what with the bloggages.
Room 502, here I come. . .

What we think of as kedgeree is a Victorian use-up-the-left-overs. It's what the servants (and perhaps their masters?) would have the morning after the night of the soup, the fish, the rice, the meat.....etc....see PG Wodehouse for menus on such occasions.
As usual, it's nothing like the original. That does not mean it's become a meal in itself.
502 again? and again?
