Yvonne and Hugh continue their travels for us
Yvonne sends these from last night's report from France: This
is "the Front National regional council president Patrick Binder under a poster depicting French politicians as liars. He told us Le Pen - who is polling more now than he was at the same point in the 2002 campaign - is seen by lots of French people as an antidote to the elite French political classes".
This:
is a "detail from Strasbourg's cathedral" and the picture below shows "Yvonne tickling a gargoyle"
Meanwhile, Hugh sent these two through yesterday afternoon (he'll be on the programme tonight live from Shanghai) - "For smog-lovers everywhere - Shanghai on Thursday morning, fog, smog, rain, the works. To reduce the gloom, the second pic is of the same view early in the morning on Monday. Heard the first burst of New Year firecrachers this evening - and New Year's Eve isn't until NEXT Saturday."
Argh! the smog! I feel like I can't breathe just looking at those photos.
The Gargoyle doesn't seem to pleased about it ;-)
By the way, anyone seen Lady Pen lately (even a second outing of her strapline does not seem to have brought a response).
Yvonne showing an evident preference for the cathedral gargoyle over the others she interviewed...?
Isn't it a long way from Bergerac to Strasbourg? Wouldn't it make more sense to make shorter journeys around France? Has Yvonne got a route planned? I think we should be told.
I know where I'd rather be .... Lucky Yvonne!
(btw, if this appears under a similar comment from me, please blame the malicious comments man!)
Dear Ms Mair,
Once again I notice that you appear to have a vacancy for a half-decent proof-reader. May I be the first in the queue of similarly qualified froggers to offer my services - voluntary services if required, re cutbacks, licence fee shortfall etc? I suggest you just lob them through the ether, I'll give them a quick once over and lob them back before you post.
I look forward to a speedy reply, ie don't try to post on your blog.
Yours sincerely
Valery Pedant (Mrs)
PS - firecrachers - sscheesch :o)
Before I scrolled down, I thought this was Yvonne and Hugh. I thought they must have both returned to the office. Sorry, Hugh, I don't mean to malign you. I think we should have a photo of Hugh please, to prevent gross errors like this.
Big Sis (2) I'd say Lucky Gargoyle. myself!
Deep (2) -
Am sick of the sight of that strapline and hiding in embarrassment. I wish I'd never thought of it.

Ian (4), It is, especially since Begerac is now hanging about in Midsommer -- which I believe is somewhere in the Cotswolds.
Fearless, Do you know something we don't about Big Sis and Deep John W? I think you may be on the wrong track somehow... And, whilst you're there, why did you block up my knowhole?! I'll have to find a new place for my camera -- I've not seen anything exciting for weeks! ;-)
I've only blocked it temporarily, Appy ;-) It's only 'til the nook for my gym back is up & painted. After that, you'll be able to look through the knowhole to your hearts' content!!
Appy & Fearless. - I'm with Fearless on this one. I would have bet good money that it was Big Sis that made that comment at (2). Very strange

Maybe the top picture was of Yvonne TACKLING a gargoyle?
Valery, I spit upon their proofreading!
(irritating grin-stylee emoticon)
Oh - yeh - there's a great idea for the New Blog - emoticons :o) (not)
Official statement: There is nothing untoward going on between Big Sis and Deepthought. FFred and RJD must have got over-excited by the picture of a gargoyle with Yvonne.
If I can ever get past room 502....

Aperitif; I've given up trying (due to room 502) to post the answer to your question as raised on the Beach; you'll have to read my blog (I'll make it today's topic).
Aperitif; visit my blog for the answer to your question as to my deepest thoughts, since I cannot get the answer past room 502 here!

FFred - I know Appy is big-hearted but does she have more than one..... (and if so is she related to Dr Who?)
Now the Frog is working again...
Yvonne has still not explained her extraordinary neck-wear in photos earlier in the week....an answer I think.
FFred (8) down boy! You already have 2 dates!
Any more of that and you'll be back on the naughty step....
Great strapline, Fifi....particularly apt for the gargoyle pic on this thread. BTW, I see this trip to France has gone to Yvonne's head!
Gillian : you are more observant than I ... hadn't realised I was Mistress Strapline again!
One of my more contorted efforts.
Monk will be on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳2 soon. I love that show. And Randy Newman singing It's a Jungle Out There; my SO actually sings along with it, with the most delightfully boyish grin.
See you later!
