Excited, of course,

about tonight's iPM. Check the iPM blog to see what's what.

We recorded an interview last night around 19.00 with a guest in the US. When I was leaving, Children in Need was in full swing and TV Centre was all lit up. There haven't been this many floodlights on it since during the war.

    To place things in context Eddie, I guess we'd be talking of "B****red Blog Centre" being Froglit during the first Iraq War..?

    Swinging on Children in Need? Sounds highly inappropriate to me!

    Well excuse my laughter, but I clicked the link to the iPM blog, & guess what! It said "404 Page not found".

    Who says computers have no sense of irony?

    hmmmm Just think of the carbon footprint of all those lights. Surely they were only needed at the start of the evening...

    Annasee, that would be because Eddie got the link wrong. Try this one instead: /blogs/ipm

    I'd have thought that flooding a building was about the last thing one would do during a conflict!

    But I do agree with Fearless (4), but in reality it will be a tiny fraction of what is used *inside* the studios.

    As this blog seems now to have accepted a few of my comments, I may deign to listen this evening.

    Appers @ 7, well, at least we know why the blog was shut for maintenance -- was it 'emergency planned maintenance' or 'planned emergency maintenance', Eddie? It was so that Eddie's own comments on each thread would be printed on a darker blue background than those of the rest of us.

    I like one thing about the iPM blog: when you get to the end of the thread you can click directly to 'previous', 'main' and 'next' after the last comment instead of having to scroll all the way back to the top again. Maybe next time the blog is shut down altogether and the only immediate result seems to be cosmetic, that feature could be added?

    But I liked 'flooding'. Thought you were being amusing. Don't disillusion me.

    So will CiN be broadcast from Salford in the new, pared-down future?
