    Caliban, he looks the same in every one. Fair enough I guess but the second one was taken when he was a kid.

    It reminds me of the Not the Nine O'Clock News (?) joke about Roger Moore's famously wooden acting in which a series of the same photograph was captioned: 'anger', 'grief', 'happiness' etc. ending with the last one, which was captioned 'and this is the real me'
    "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
    Lady Bracknell The importance of Being Earnest

    Quote:

    'The Sunday Times thought he might have had a comment to make about the infamous internal BBC talent league table leaked in December last year, but George shut the door on a visiting reporter. The bottom category was headed "Occasional sparkle (but limited appeal)", and featured Delia Smith, Michael Palin, Sophie Raworth and Giles Coren.'

    One of my (several) points is about the potential for two-way dialogue, eg Can we please discuss Breakfast on 3? Looking at his expression, was there really any need to close the door?

    "imperative to engineer a major shift of commitment towards the devising and delivery of the integrated sub genre strategies essential to the next stage of the Knowledge strategy on all platforms"?

    Yes Lat, that is, more or less, management-speak for the need of more Montana Smith on the radio. Particularly his yodeling songs.

    As for the hi-fi, that is a surprise. What records does he use to reference his kit, do you know ?
