   Thanks for the update.

   Good man! Rupert, that is the message we've been waiting for.

   We'll now start waiting for the message that says: "Hurrah! Blog unblogged! Come back in, the water's lovely!"

   Fifi ;o)

   So, Rupert, you too remember the interludes...

   Things, Blog-wise haven't been "Bad" Rupert, they've been disastrous. And, iPM no better...

   Not your fault Rupert

   But true, nonetheless...

   Could you an the team consider re-instating the photo Eddie put-up of the Christmas Decorations outside the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ TV Center, when the "Blog" problems first arose?

   Although, maybe this year's scene would be better..?

   Anyway, Eddie was probably right (seasonally) in terms of timing...

    a) My last post went through within about 20 seconds.
    b) There was nothing here two minutes ago, then as soon as I return to the thread after posting that message, four messages appear. Has the spam stopped for today?

    Dear Gold Award Winner (Interactive),

    I regret to advise you that there has been a mistake. It has come to my notice that you are uninter(esting) and inactive. Please return the Award forthwith.

    Alternatively you may leave the Award on the beach and someone will probably pick it up. It is of negligible value.

    Yours faithfully (despite your faithlessness),

    Mr Sony and friends.

    Hm. Yes, bloomin bad luck for iPM, irritating and often infuriating for you and us.

    But thanks for getting in touch, Rupert.

    Is there any way of getting some other bloggery program (NB not programme; PM is the one for us. At the moment...) to run it? Other ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ logs/fora* are available

    But other than that, happy St Andrew's Day indeed! Drams on Nick's Bar

    Ah, 502.

    Punch A Trick Or Treater Man: Lots of sympathy with him - punching an 8-year-old was over the top, but surely that 8-year-old (or his mum) should have been able to read the sign on the door and steered clear. Hopefully this will serve as a warning to those perpetrating the Americanised begging that's so common these days. As for the family having to move house because of the (much overused word) "trauma"... utter nonsense!

    Regarding this evening's report on PM, can you please prove to me that the huge crowds witnessed on the streets of Khartoum after Friday prayers today were because of the teddy bear insult?

    If you go to any Muslim city anywhere in the world after Friday prayers you will witness massive crowds. Indeed, you will witness them even outside the mosques up and down this country?

    Virtually every Muslim attends the Friday prayer - clearly they have to go somewhere when the prayer ends and in the absence of a teletransporter the first thing they will do is pour onto the street.

    There is no need for any more sci-fi stories about time machines. All one need do is go to Sudan, or many hard-core Islamic areas; and presto, you enter the early middle-ages! Having just listened again to yesterday's "In Our Time", it is indeed vexing to see that the Muslim world stalled in the remote past. Brown had better get that teacher out of Sudan fast, for judging what has gone on in Darfur for years, there should be little faith put into their "justice" system!

    that many people don't realise how in a few years time people will look back and realise how this broken diary - an essential part of Radio 4's logging will be important.

    Anne P will support me amongst others on this.

    If -- only last week Eddie had kept a few posts rolling out - we would have had an unbroken 15 Months or so.

    Now that has all gone to boot! --

    May be a laugh now - but also a pity.

    TIH: Your friend RJD is probably confusing my memories with his own, I would suggest. I gather that many of his memories (unlike mine) predate the invention of both television and the potter's wheel.

    Apologies to Rupert - I did realise my mistake but thank you BigSis for the clarification. It was a late night and we'd all been out for a meal and one or two drinks.
