Once more with feeling...

Sequin | 10:36 UK time, Friday, 2 November 2007

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed conversing with you and sharing your views over the past three weeks. Thank you for being so welcoming, as always.

Sir Ed - for surely, like Bruce Forsyth he should have been knighted by now - will be back foraging in the cocktail cabinet from Monday. Rupert and the Blog Prince have been busy working on his new iPM programme which starts on Saturday 10th as you no doubt know, so I'm looking forward to hearing you all take part.

    Ah ha - Opening Time at last!

    Sequin, thanks for a lovely fortnight, and for frolicking with us here on the Blog. Good luck with your chocolate fast (better than fast chocolate, I guess!)

    As to a knighthood for Mr. Mair, I think you are probably in line for a sainthood. Do the ´óÏó´«Ã½ pass on these recommendations to the Vatican d'you think?

    Enjoy your Friday, and - more importantly - a well earned rest at the weekend.

    Yours in sisterhood

    Big Sis :o)

    Ah! The 404 barrier has been breached!

    Carolyn, I'm sure I speak for many when I say you're loved and appreciated here. There isn't anyone else who could join into the spirit and style of the programme.

    You make it your own without appropriating it - a considerable talent.

    Back to the very early mornings with you now I guess.

    It's been great having you again - in the non-Biblical sense... Of course

    Talking of the Bible, Jesus, we're informed, turned water into wine

    Well, what goes around, comes around. but, only in America:

    "Scientists at the University of Illinois have discovered a new way to make water... Not only can they make water from unlikely starting materials, such as alcohols..."

    Huh, like, there's going to be a demand for that...

    ..nice one Sequin.....time flies when you enjoying yourself!!

    why not change the lock on the cocktail cabinet as a parting gesture?

    DiY:)

    Goodbye Sequin. No doubt Eddie will be back with a bong.

    Now,

    Has anyone played the 7 day quiz on the front page of the bbc Website - just click on Heather MMc face -

    .

    I'm afraid I didn't do very well scoring only 4 :-(

    Carolyn, Roger and Elouise should get a nice 7 I'd hope.

    Carolyn,

    All of us who listen but dont comment all that much always look forward to hearing you!!!

    you have a very gentle way.

    Best wishes for the Westminster Hour, and Today, and whatever else you are given!!

    Sequin, you are a treasure: you have even taken to asking the odd Eddie-esque killer question, right at the end of an interview!

    Haste ye back!

    Sequin,

    I'd just like to second all of the above remarks, and hope that you're in line for a few days well-deserved rest.

    I only wish I could have listened more during your stint, but it wil be great to hear you back on Today. At least we know you'll always been on R4 somewhere!

    Fingers crossed you get some r'n'r soon - don't forget there's a very comfy hammock on the beach and you don't have to work here to use it!

    Was it gloria gaynor who said "Never can say goodbye"?

    Anyway, as you said it's au revoir, not adieu. In fact I'll be talking to Ed from Westminster on Tuesday so you're not rid of me yet!!!


    lots of love

    5/7:

    Hen harrier - guessed right
    Bacon - knew
    Sleep - picked what seemed the most likely
    Brainwaves - picked the most likely
    "Couldn't stop her" - picked the most likely
    MP3 players - guessed wrong
    Birthday - guessed wrong

    Oh dear, only 4/7 for me. And the hen harrier was a lucky fluke. How shaming.

    Carolyn, it's been lovely having you here on the blog with us as well as on PM. I hope you survive the chocolate fast, I'm sure you'll make it as I reckon you must have iron self-discipline anyway, to get out of bed for the Today programme. Anyone who can get up for work at 3 am has my sincerest admiration.

    I hope you have a restful Saturday, (though I suppose pain au chocolat is off the breakfast menu) & look forward to hearing you back on The Westminster Hour.

    Auf wiedersehen, Sequin, and
    Assalaam 'alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu

    Uh oh, quiz no longer available it seems. Mind you, having read mittfh's post I might just have had a few clues.......
