9818783
What does it all mean?
We're tossing around a few ideas for tonight's programme, including a follow up on the London 2012 logo. One suggestion we're working on is getting one of those head doctors who examines the ink spots, to tell us how he interprets comments on the Blog. For example - those contributors who suggested (ahem) that the logo shows a couple having sex - what's going on in THEIR heads?
Not a lot.

It's actually based on Bill & Ted's band's logo, Wyld Stallions.
Is that the combination to the drinks cabinet, Eddie?
Is it Paris Hilton's new vital statistics?
:-)
9818783 - it's locked away but it's not the drinks cabinet :)
Perhaps what is going on in their heads is a reflection of what is going on in their beds?
eg I still can't find 2012!
Getting a little celebrity-obsessed, are we?
Eddie, see if you can get you glass box up for 12.34 5.6.7.....As you did for the 2012 olympica at 02.20!!
Okay, so I'm hoping that my post will appear as
1234567
(12.34 on the 5th of the 6th of the 7th, if you get my drift!)
Now, all I need to do is wait until 12.34 and hope the mods will let me through ....
Is Eddie also waiting to press his button?
9 is the number you dial to get an outside line,
818783 is the number you doial to order a:-
pizza/kebab/pasty/fish+chips.
At 12:45 you can see what's in my head.
Rats! Our watches aren't synchronised!
...might I suggest these are the numbers of, er, "positions" tried, tested and doubtless approved, by young Rupert...
By the way, I believe rupert's written a book...
"A Bear Guide To Logo Sex"
That's a lorrra lorrra posts.
Hello - Isn't it a beautiful day - Is everyone wirelessly connected outside? I hope so.
Si Worrall - Did you catch Jeremy Bowen and the 1967 middle east war prog! - excellent archive material - he is a brilliant journalist. I also liked him presenting ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Breakfast.
Daily mail readers - did anyone noitice the bit about Jim Naughtie and his trail during the Today Programme?
It’s an instrumental
Re. London Olympic logo 2012. I don't like it. I saw some alternative logos on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ website. There's one by Angus Walker. It's fab! Give him the £400,000!!
...clearly, these are the numbers of, er, "positions" tried, tested, and doubtless approved, by young Rupert...
By the way, I believe Rupert's written a book...
"A Bear Insight to Logo Sex"
A bargain, I'm told at £400,000 a copy.
And, there's a choice of four colours for the book's cover... Wow!
Pink pink pink pink pink.
As if we didn't get enough of it with every prepubescent girl wanting pink this, pink that .......
I blame Barbie!
re. new logos - Carol (16)
I agree that was a good one yesterday but there are even more on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ website today and the one by "Richard" is fantastic, it uses the numbers 2012 as the first three letters of London - lets change it to that one, it's so clever!
Ah, the Ink Spots, now they were good.
(If I didn't care honeychild, more than words can say, if I didn't care baby, would I feel this way?)
What on earth is going on in the PM Office? You're either listening to very cool 1940's music or watching 1970's cartoons. (See newsletter)
SSC: ...a groovy cat, a gentleman, a scholar and an acrobat...
Who needs the analyst? As today's strapline says - may contain nuts
Look, I would like to make it clear - I do NOT like pink...!
Okay, Guest1, neither you nor I like pink!
Steady on with the pinkl guys, next there be a poll at next elections to makle it a new religion like they did with the force from the films star wars....I like the Pink Panther appoach anyway.
SSC - is that Adobe Acrobat? (Other text viewers are availabubble.)
availabubble - like it Jason :-)
I came out with a good one the other day - mussed instead of must. Fifi saiad it should be pronounced with an RJD accent!
Well having just *googled* the number it would appear it is the number of a new american inmate related to some rich hotelier, whos daughter goes by the name of Paris Hilton.
What prize do i win.
...PeteB, well done. You get a free copy of Rupert's book. Just choose the colour. Pink would be fine...
Well I like pink! We have some lovely fluourescant pink bandage which looks lovely on black cats!
GM (29): I was just about to blurt out "You put bandages on cats???" when I remembered the other thing I know about you.
(The other other thing having polo mint wheels.)
You put PINK bandages on cats????
Remember, it's '01' if you're outside London.
You could be on to something Big Sis(18). I have a friend who blames all the woes on Fisher Price.
Jason (30) of couse! Especially the big butch male ones. In fact, being on Merseyside, we have to be more careful about whether we put red or blue bandages on as the owners may refuse to take them home!
BTW I didn't realise you'd seen my hostess trolley.....
Dragon: 02, surely?
I will take the err.....
the umm....
Fluourescent pink bondage please ;O)
Electric Dragon, welcome back!!! ;o)
Piper, for my 18th birthday some wag gave me a book called 'How To Do Sex Properly'.
It was illustrated throughout with bears.
Lovely.
(I don't like pink either, guest1.)

Ink blot interpretation is as pseudoscientific as astrology. This segment was designed to inject some humour, no doubt, but it does paint scientific psychology in a poor light.
I think this was absolutely the silliest piece I have ever heard on PM. I'm so cross I came on here to express how cross I am.
The inital explanation of what a Rorschach test is was annoying enough. I listen to Radio 4 voluntarily, I am not a dribbling fool from Radio 1 daytime. I know what a Rorschach test is!!
Then the inane drivel spouted by the shrink that supposedly gave a clue about your listeners personalities? What tosh! "sack the editor" cos he thinks the logo looks like people having sex? Hah, sack him for allowing this piece on air more like!
Grrr, what is Radio4 coming to these days?
And while I'm here, could someone please explain to the 6 o'clock news team that everyone, everywhere knows that the mother of Princes William & Harry was "Diana, Princess of Wales". Don't bother to tell us that, it makes you sound foolish.
I've just listened to your "expert" on peoples comments. WOW - I think getting some of the spiritualists from the article played earlier on in the program could have come up with more interesting and even informative interpretations of the way people's imaginations interact with essentially meaningless images.
As someone who has an MA in Art and Psychotherapy, I'd like to cheer your listener's wild and reckless imaginations, and boo the rather cheap "analysis" that you used to justify including the honest game of daydreams in your program.
As someone marking GCSE level graphic design coursework at the moment, the logo has also proven a godsend. Any student logo that is better than the 2012 Olympic one is probably worthy of a pass.
I'll leave it to others to decide whether the official logo itself would show the skills that an average 16 year old should master in order to get a grade "C".....
Fifi, I possess a copy of that extremely amusing (and inventive!) tome. I quite often refer to it when seeking inspiration, much as those wretched logo designers might profitably have done.
PeteB! To the Naughty Corner now!
(You'll recognise it, it's the one with the pink handcuffs......)
...Fifi @ 36
That book was published 18 months ago. You're far, far, too young to be reading it...
PeteB @35, "Pink Bondage" it is - I just hope and Pray, you're a Black Cat. Photos please...
C tarrington @ 38
My, my, we do seem to know it all. Or not. As the case may be...
"And while I'm here, could someone please explain to the 6 o'clock news team that everyone, everywhere knows that the mother of Princes William & Harry was "Diana, Princess of Wales". Don't bother to tell us that, it makes you sound foolish"
William and Harry?... We may know who their mother is, but as for the father...
Malicious, moi? Well, this probably is a bit on the tsk tsk side.
"One suggestion we're working on is getting one of those head doctors who examines the ink spots, to tell us how he interprets comments on the Blog"
Are you really so awash with money you're considering paying people for such utter tosh? If so, can I suggest you use the cash to buy all the regular posters here a drink instead, they are contributing far more to the programme than the psychology 'experts' you seem to be fascinated by.
Robert: I'm sure no-one gets paid to parade their utter tosh on PM. Not when there are so many who are willing to provide hours of utter tosh for nothing more rewarding than the twinkle in Chairman Mair's eye.
Appy: Tsk tsk!
Big Sister @ 34 - obviously you didn't grow up with the likes of Swap Shop and Saturday Superstore, where they would always read out the phone number as"01 if you're outside London, 811 8055".
Fifi - "I haven't gone away, you know." Although I have been too busy to listen the last few days.
Rorschach inkblot tests remind me only of two things - a scene from a TV series I can't remember where the main character is shown an inkblot and asked what it looks like. He replies "It looks to me like a Rorschach inkblot test". And Spaced, where Mike is trying to get back into the TA and is shown a series of inkblots - "War. Bombs. Guns. Guts. Guts and guns. Butterfly." [TA man gives Mike a puzzled look]. "With a bomb." [TA man looks reassured].
Any Chance of Getting a comment from Brian Sewell on the London Olympic Logo?
At last the McCanns have been asked about their potential guilt. Parents are the usual prime suspects in such cases. Abduction has been used to cover a parent killing a child before - a mother alleged her child was abducted from her car and gasve a tearful appeal for the release of her child on TV a few years back. She later admitted there was no abduction, the child was dead and she was the perpetrator. Madeleine's father when the journalist asked, albeit indirectly, had he killed his child in essence replied that he had an alibi. I would have expected outrage and hurt but no his answer was I can't have done it I was with other people at the time - however that depends on believing the parents version of when the child was last seen. However as they have worked to get politicians and even the Pope on their side it is unlikely they will be properly questioned
Julian Bird (50), I find your post offensive. I don't know what happened in Portugal, nor do I know anything about the McCann family, but, unless you tell me otherwise, I presume that you don't either. Why would you think it was worth posting something like that?
