spot the fib
i am sad to have to report to you that - despite my promises - we are going to be blogging for a while yet. the man responsible for changing the blog to a newsletter is up against it and is too busy building cyber-kirstys and fixing paddy o'conell's URL which has been on the blink for a very long time. so you are stuck with my cyber witterrings for some time to come.
but that does mean that i can share even more of my 'important moments in life' with you and this week i bring you news that eddie mair and i shared a caravan in Dunstable for three months during the summer of 1987. he was very untidy.
love and hugs to you all
fi
surely in 1987 eddie mair was only ten years old!
Complain about this postHow much does your IT bod charge for his cyber-kirtsys?
Not for me the predictable choice of a Young, Wark or Allsop, delightful though they be.
I'd like a cyber-Kirsty Lang please and will pay handsomely. Would, however, settle for Paddy's phone number.
Complain about this postJust heard someone asking you to slow down Fi - please DONT! It is a pleasure to listen to the programme because you speak at proper speed (and with good diction as the other guy said). I am truly sick of being spoken to as though all your listeners are slightly mentally deprived 5 yr olds - an impression given by most Radio 4 announcements and programme trails now.
Complain about this postAt last I am near my computer with enough time to switch on instead of listenting as I'm driving, and screaming inside at the depressing standard. Please ask someone to stop all announcements coming over as though we are morons and hard of hearing at that. Charlotte Green's lovely voice is completely detracted from by her giving us a phrase at a time to hear and digest before the next one comes. This is not a personal attack on her - I'm sure its Â鶹Éç policy but it is unnecessary and REALLY ANNOYING to listen to. Sorry if this is the wrong place to be saying all this. I really enjoy your programme and I think it's a great idea to keep a record of the Inheritance Tracks. Thanks again for an interesting and entertaining prog.
I've had to stop myself all week from deploying Will Self's "I'd rather cut off my buttocks, varnish them and offer them for sale in a provincial gift shop" in answer to innocnet questions. Infuriatingly I can't remember what it was the answer to. I know it doesn't matter, but feel I need to know. Was it downsizing? (I'm sure it wasn't the prospect of sharing a caravan with Eddie Mair for 3 months, because obviously anyone would wrap up for that).
Complain about this postFi, was that you hanging outside a hoxton art gallery on the apprentice this week?
Complain about this postyes!
Complain about this postAny hints on how to get Eddie into a caravan? I'm sure there are many of us that would like to try.
Complain about this postFi, are you going to make another cameo appearance on the Apprentice tonight - perhaps dressed as a French lady in a breton top and beret? Are you the new Hitchcock of this cliff hanging series? Can't wait to try and spot you.
Complain about this postAnd was that your fella, Fi? Handsome chap - looks a little like Bluto off Popeye, but with a less intimidating build.
Complain about this postGreat Blog. Please maintain it.
Complain about this postFi,
I was saddened that you weren't in this week's episode of the apprentice.
Could you make up for it by appearing in next week's Great British Menu?
If you could climb out of a ditch during the shot where a chef walks down a country lane, that would make my week.
Complain about this postis it me or is the crop circle man really David from the Archers?
