Welcome to my perfumed garden

And into my inbox pops the PM newsletter, which always makes me giggle.

I'm very fond of Eddie Mair; PM is my favourite source for news and today, it had a special sort of Friday-before-the Bank-Holiday feel which I'd like to share.

'Hello.

Friday has arrived and not a moment too soon. We are preparing what I can only describe as a programme.

Most of the bosses are away so I won't lie to you - we are going to be blind drunk by teatime. Not a word though or the BBC Trust will issue a damning report about us.

In the meantime, we'll look at out of hours treatment on the NHS - feel free to email with your experience. We've an item on Madeleine McCann, and, in response to requests from our listeners, and item on other missing children who have received less media coverage. If you'd like to see them, I urge you to go to the PM Blog.

We're thinking of calling this chap:

"A man from Penzance holds the new record for the amount of time anyone's stayed awake. Tony Wright claims he hasn't slept a wink for eleven days - now more than 265 hours. He broke the record just after 6 this morning, and has told us he's really starting to feel it"

See you on the ice at 5,

I've finished re-writing the first, damaged chapters of what I like to call 'my book', I have completed porn for the Moonridge auction and am about to begin an attempt on the north face of my current WIP which I'm still writing for last year's Moonridge Auction. Oh me oh my...

I've been a busy bee. How about yourselves?

Does anyone else think Lamine Adam, one of the terror suspects who went missing this week, looks a wee bit like Syler...?  ::wibble::

From the Daily Mail, no less. (o:

For making me laugh like a loony.

There has been some muttering into beards about a BBC video - made for a journo's leaving do, but that's been put out on the net - described by Chris Doyle, director of the Council for Arab British Understanding,  as "insensitive, stereotypical and puerile," and now some at the BBC are getting all apologetic.

Well it made me laugh.

The news story's at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=404630&in_page_id=1770
If you want to see it, go to the link 'watch the video' after the first par.

Heh heh. Heh heh. Heh heh...
Is everyone else enjoying this as much as me? And not just because Georgy Porgy said 'Yo Blair', which I'm sad enough to admit, made me smile for ages n ages.

I think my favourite bit is;
Bush: ...Thanks for the sweaters it's awfully thoughtful of you
Blair: It's a pleasure
Bush: I know you picked it out yourself
Blair: Oh, absoultely, in fact I knitted it myself
BUSH: "Right . . .

HEE!!!!!!

YO BLAIR
