   Good 2 see that it's all working well. I'm typing this from a 成人论坛 blog workshop. (That came out first as a 'clog' workshop, which is something else entirely.) i'm now being asked for my views on how things work...stand back, there may be fireworks (just like in china)

   I'm still in the blog meeting! the PM blog is getting lots of praise, which is great 2 hear from my peers. i've just ranted about the failings about the technology - it was very cathartic! Everyone agrees that that is the biggest frustration - the powers that be acknowledged as much, while adding that this blog, as well as all others across the 成人论坛, is merely a trial...and in trials, things go wrong, but they are working 2 resolve the problems.

   Wow, FrogPrince, you are exceedingly gifted! I bow my knee to you ......

   I seem to recall hearing in the last few days something about the 成人论坛 wanting to encourage interactivity with it's audience. Could there be any finer example than this?

   Are there any other 成人论坛 Blogs which are as interactive, or proactive, as this one? That's a genuine question, by the way, not a pat on the back.

    Thanks for keeping us informed, Marc. I trust you're down from the summit by now. Did you plant a frog flag?

    Things in Trials don't have to go wrong. Its just that the expectation that they will go wrong is higher

    Dear Mr. Windsor (or should that be Lord Mair?)(Let the Healing Begin)

    You'll be glad to know (I hope) that your (absorbing) newsletter arrived safely in Sussex (approximately) 10 minutes ago. I (as others) was concerned to hear that McDonalds wants to ban Prince Charles (heir to the throne)(but not that of Ronald McDonald, I believe).

    As to the PM (the one in No. 10), I expect (as do others) there's a lot he'll miss. However, it is unlikely (in my opinion) he'll miss being gruelled by reporters (I've heard he dislikes these, and in particular Mr. J. Humphrys).

    As to the other matters (you allude to so many today), we'll all look forward with (unabated) interest. Especially, I (and my fellow pedants) will enjoy the item on brackets. Personally, I feel these are best used (like Martha Kearney) for putting up bookshelves. (Another question you failed to answer, btw.)

    As ever, your esteemed (but humble) listener

    Back from the Bloggers' meeting.

    I think the message I took from it is this: while it's not Private Fraser's "we're all doomed", nor should it not be Corporal Jones' "don't panic" - there are issues to be addressed, but it's not anything so dire that there's a risk of it all disappearing in a puff of smoke.

    (Aren't you glad I'm in the business of clear communication?!)

    I'd post more on here, only I really ought to let Eddie and Big Boss Peter know first, so once that's done, I'll be back.

    seems like the NBP has been a long time a-telling whoever whatever....maybe Eddie is upset that the frog may go on (and on and on and on).

    BTW would EM be a good candidate for The Star in a reasonably Priced Car slot on Top Gear?

    Eddie and Jezza Clarkson, there's something I'd like to see.

    Mr Windsor, It was Coronation St where you heard your "see you on the ice" sign off being flagrantly ripped off, copied, perhaps honoured? Is this something to do with the great Beeb move to Manchester do you think? A nod of welcome maybe?

    Oh, witchi, it got you anyway!

    I reckon the answer is, once you've been 501-d (or whichever kind of Levis you prefer), assume that it's lying (why not, after all) and that your post will, eventually, appear.

    Then go off to the Beach for a huff (but not, perhaps, a puff) and see if you can post there.

    Hahaha

    Whisht (12): Pedants would also pick up on imported language clangers such as nouns or adjectives being used as adverbs and occasional absent spaces, both of which seem to be in favour at the moment especially with Government representatives. Perhaps in the latter case it's more to do with the absent spaces between their ears...

    I doubt he had time to talk to Eddie and co before the programme went on air. I'd read nothing into it. And Marc didn't have to say anything to us ahead of time, so I'd just see it as a bonus.

    From the way he's joined in on things, I'd say Eddie mostly enjoys the interaction. How many presenters would frog on their days off?

    Hanging sentences; I am guilty of said crime! I'm sure theres an oxymoron or something ironic in there. Best get my shackles on and head to the treadmill.
