The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[Nick Armstrong]

"At very short notice". This'll be fun.

I'm sorry to say
It's a much better way
To start the day
With Burton away.

Sorry, isn't there a Tweet your Crappy Poems segment?

When TreeLawn becomes Director General there is only one man to replace him IMVHO ......

I do wonder whether we should have had mention of "Hairy Cornflake faces porridge" and "Lonnie Donnegan's Concerto for Two Washboards" with anyone else. (French accent is execrable, but I'm not as picky as some.)


I don't think the post of D-G is likely to be vacant in the near future.

Not officially - despite HS' best efforts.

Clemmy's not shown up today
I guess there is nothing to say
But leave it to Skelly
To give it some welly
And blow all our cobwebs away

[Sir Velo]

You're easily amused!

[Zucchini]

No; "I've received an utterly goorgeous e-mail from....."

That was nice of Mr Cowan, wasn't it? Did it smell nice?

... well, after all, he likes Elgar

When Clemmy woke up Wednesday morning
She couldn't stop stretching and yawning
So she just phoned it sick
And Skelly did the trick
By doing Breakfast well without warning.

[Sir Velo]

Perhaps a Haiku:

I like Clemmy
Not, A lot
Will nothing stop the rot? No.

[french frank]

Should I call 'Order, ORDER'?

Not doing a Chris Evans is she?

Rob C comes in however ill he's feeling, and gives it to all of us

[french frank]

Rob C comes in however ill he's feeling, and gives it to all of us

Gives what to all of us?

Perhaps a Haiku:

... or perhaps a clerihew :

Clemency Burton Hill
Was not infrequently ill:
Some hoped she might be more often well - E
xcept for me - and Ian Skelly

I was thinking of the great Bill Hardcastle who, presenting TWAO with a stinking cold, revealed there'd been a telephone call to the BBC complaining he was giving it to listeners. Me, I just worry about whose job it is to disinfect the microphones.
