   Sequin: you are truly petite (somehow I'd always thought you tall), though I have noticed how that giant of a man, Hon. Ed Stourton, has chosen to shrink into his chair.

   Mr. Humphrys has made himself very comfortable there between the two fair roses, hasn't he? ;o)

   Thanks for sharing that photo, it is charming.

   I loved JH and others on Top Gear last night!

   Hands up, who saw that nice Mister Humphrys driving through the corridors of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in that tiny car last night!

   No wonder he looks defensive in this photo...

   I'm tempted to say the "Team" have scrubbed-up well.

   Especially the ladies and young Ed...

   You're looking remarkably perky considering you seem to have been at work non-stop for a fortnight. Are you ever allowed to sleep?

   Very nice Carolyn - and love the jacket.

   That camera was very high though?

   Was that taken in S1 - it suddenly looks very spacious

   It WAS taken in S1. The photographer had to climb on a table. Always best to have the photo taken from on high. Does wonders for the double chin.

   And do remember - this is just a hologram of me. I am, in real life, tall, slim and blonde.

   Am also a little shattered. i wasn't supposed to be doing the Westminster Hour last night but the stand-in presenter went sick and I answered the phone. Doh!

    I just watched the ´óÏó´«Ã½2 TV news and the discusion on climate change.
    Considering it is the most dangerous thing to happen on Earth since the demise of the dinosaurs, they needed to have a better informed interviewer, and lacked an honest critique of the the preventative measures and how effective they would be.
    Ie
    "Yes minister and if we do all of that, scientists say, that only 50% of mankind will be destroyed. Under the circomstances do you think that that is an adiquete response?"

    The "eco" situation is so universaly dangerous that letting ill informed journalists and bullshitting polititions get away with it is playing into the hands of the irrisponsible.

    As part of the most trusted news organisation in the world, you have a real responsibility here.
    Even the most obvious lies from polititions are allowed to pass without comment sometimes even on your show.
    Dont be part of it.

    What is lacking and would help is a post interview analisis by a serious and well researched "authority"
    We dont want idiots on our roads but when it comes to the whole planet, we have a surfit of idiocy.
    The planet is real, Money, Buisiness, politics, religions are all temporal and fun stuff for humans but there not important when compared to life on planet planet Earth
    Thanks

    Thanks

    There was once a programmer who was attached to the court of the
    warlord of Wu. The warlord asked the programmer: "Which is easier to design:
    an accounting package or an operating system?"
    "An operating system," replied the programmer.
    The warlord uttered an exclamation of disbelief. "Surely an accounting package is trivial next to the complexity of an operating
    system," he said.
    "Not so," said the programmer, "when designing an accounting package, the programmer operates as a mediator between people having different ideas: how it must operate, how its reports must appear, and how it must conform to the tax laws. By contrast, an operating system is not limited my outside
    appearances. When designing an operating system, the programmer seeks the simplest harmony between machine and ideas. This is why an operating system is easier to design."
    The warlord of Wu nodded and smiled. "That is all good and well, but which is easier to debug?"
    The programmer made no reply.

    Re Sequin (9) Does that mean that you were a stand-in stand-in? I hope that they paid you at double the normal rate :o).

    ...very kind of Sarah to lend it to you. I didn't realise she did that

    Wonder if she'd lend it to me? I could do with the boots as well...

    Well what an interesting photo, thanks for putting it up for us.

    Ed reminds me of the guest at weddings (there's always one) who, when the photographer calls everyone outside for the final group shot, says grumpily "But I've just bought this drink, I'm not leaving it here" & insists on carrying it out into the garden & holding it for the photo. Am I right?

    Also, is it part of the audition process that all presenters must be auburn-haired? Apart from Mr Humphreys of course, & I bet he was when he was young.

    Gosh ! Are you sure Jim hasn't been photoshopped in afterwards ? ! another scandal could be brewing there methinks... You and Sarah both look very smart.

    Natural Blonde - you have very good taste - but I am a tad concerned as to how Sarah is coping without it...

    Sarah looks almost like a VIP, surrounded by a pair of bodyguards...

    But what poses!

    Ed looks as though he was caught in the middle of a coffee break, John looks as though he's stifling a laugh, and Jim looks almost as though he's angry.

    Well I'm flabbergasted!

    I have had the pleasure - or shock - to see the studio (S1) in real life, and it's not very big!

    Interestingy Carolyn, you have given away one of my SO's (significant others) best photographic tip. - as regards to having the camera higher.

    Another is if you have the camera at 90 degrees and tilt the head upwards - looking towards the camera whan having the picture taken.

    Does wonders I'm told - but at a mere 47 I wouldn't know yet :-(

    Oh and Carolyn! Don't forget your iPM picture.

    Eddie did his.

    If you look at the name of the picture, you will see that it is called Today presenters smaller. Obviously they've been photographed and shrunk, then placed on the studio background.
