Well I chose it and I've decided which tracks to play from it and I wrote all my scripts and chose all the other music and worked out all the timings - I've worked quite hard to make this the seamless smooth-running finished product that it is. I didn't just saunter into the studio 30 seconds before transmission in my bowtie and dinner jacket, with everything worked out and arranged for me. I'm not a mere continuity announcer you know.

Originally posted by french frank View PostHe has confirmed. Or rather denied. He made a grammatical error, though HG has also said he is NOT a BBC insider either. I had concluded that, as a now retired person, HG spent a lot of time on the internet finding out little nuggets of information that are there for anyone to see. He merely supports the BBC against all critics and may well have close connections with the BBC while not being, now, an 'insider'. Richard Tarleton definitely did NOT mean that he (Richard Tarleton) was a BBC insider; and he isn't.

If you have been, thanks for listening to me, John Ebdon, back with you tomorrow. Join me [John Ebdon (optional)], same time, same place.
If people turned on just when he was finishing, it's no good saying 'Thanks for listening' to them, because they haven't been.

have you ever experienced those truly horrific muscle cramps induced by various hypertension medications .... in the midst of an agonising explosion of cramp in my lower legs this morning, it had me hopping and staggering, i paused to turn off CB_H; and then resumed the attempt to abate the lesser agony ....
she cooed aaahs to an interviewee like a true Greater Crested Gushwit ....According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

I have had a Breakfast Show free 9 days as I have been attending the York Early Music Festival. As I am not working, I don't need to get up early and I find that the clammer on breakfast a fantastic stimulus to get out of bed, to shut off the radio and load the CD player.

Sometimes, I really do wonder.
I am Clemency Burton-Hill
...[etc]
Example:
My name is George Nathaniel Curzon,
I am a most superior person.
My cheeks are pink, my hair is sleek,
I dine at Blenheim twice a week.

Better by far to listen to an attractive girl whispering sweet nothings in your ear.

My mammaries are leaking still.
I rise so early every morn
To read your tweets and witter corn.

I knew this was asking for trouble
Good opener Don, I may have to relax the rules to allow limericks. I was trying to come up with something a little less controversial, HG - along the lines of
My name is Clemmie Burton-Hill
I'm gifted, witty, clever....still,
Although my tweeting drives you mad
I'm just as famous as my dad.......
