The Hogmany Glass Box

Post categories:

Eddie Mair | 15:00 UK time, Monday, 31 December 2007

In the PM office we meet every night after the programme - even on New Year's Eve - in this Glass Box:

We talk about the content of the programme and try to give an honest assessment of what worked and what didn't...the things we missed and the places where our ambitions were not met. THIS virtual glass box you are looking at is where you are invited - indeed encouraged - to be honest about our hour. Members of the production team will read it, and the editor should comment too. Click on The Glass Box link on the right of the page to read previous entries.

    ...does the apparent List-to-Port by the Glass Box indicate Eddie will, at least, be lisping this PM..?

    Some thoughts as we enter the New Year...

    " THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE"

    Living on Earth is expensive,
    but it does include a free trip
    around the sun every year

    How long a minute is
    depends on what side of the
    bathroom door you're on

    Birthdays are good for you;
    the more you have,
    the longer you live

    Happiness comes through doors you
    didn't even know you left open

    Ever notice that the people who are late
    are often much jollier than the people
    who have to wait for them?

    Most of us go to our grave
    with our music still inside of us

    If Tesco's are lowering prices every day,
    how come nothing is free yet?

    You may be only one person in the world,
    but you may also be the world to one person

    Some mistakes are too much fun
    to only make once

    Don't cry because it's over;
    smile because it happened

    We could learn a lot from crayons:
    some are sharp, some are pretty,
    some are dull, some have weird names,
    and all are different colors....but
    they all exist very nicely in the same box

    A truly happy person is one who
    can enjoy the scenery on a detour

    Bah. How can Patrick call himself a Stewart with a complete lack of Scots accent when playing Macbeth?

    Should have got Ob-E-Wan MacGregor to play Macbeth...

    Or Mr Mair!

    Since this is the Hogmanay (or possibly "hogmany"; hog many roads must a pig walk down...?) Glass Box, I'd like to leave a message here for all those celebrating tonight...

    Shut Up!

    Some of us aren't the least bit interested in some arbitrary increment in the calendar - which even if it was something to be celebrated should surely be done at the solstice, rather than a week and a bit later - and we certainly don't want to get woken up at midnight with fireworks and yelling and singing!

    Humbug.

    Condoms 'too big' for Indian men
    By Damian Grammaticus
    ´óÏó´«Ã½ News, Delhi


    There is a "lack of awareness" over condom sizes
    A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.
