Water voles...

Eddie Mair | 13:36 UK time, Wednesday, 13 December 2006

...our story the other night which began like this was inspired by something which has been part of my audio collection for a while, from Today.

And having heard them both, we've made it a duet.

The ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳. It's what we do.

    I think that you could put that to music, as in ISIHAC one song to the tune of another. My suggestion would be Ralph Mctell's "Streets of London".

    I don't like all this ramming of water voles. I have a soft spot for them, as some of you know.

    It's here, all mossy and sheltered, by the riverbank.

    Heere, voley, voley!

    Talking of nozes, and cute ones at that ... come, Frances O, and just whisper it to me. Use the back-route to find me, off blog, and tell me the story.

    I am, after all, the respected custodian of so many secrets on the frog ... none have ever been revealed!

    Have you been talking to the Bishop of Southwark? When he was found throwing toys out of someone's car, seemingly the worst for wear, he reportedly said 'I'm the Bishop of Woolwich [sic], it's what I do."

    Thank you all for correcting my small slip.
    I'm sure I won't bother subjecting myself to such grammatical correction in the future.
    Did any of you get the content as a joke or were you all too busy being clever?

    Very good Valery P (15) I wouldn't have noticed but know you are right now I see it, & do like to ensure my grammar is up to scratch. I am serious.

    Frances O (22) very funny, can't think of a quip back but hoping RDJ will come up with something!
