YOUR news headline.

Eddie Mair | 11:51 UK time, Tuesday, 25 November 2008

We're trying a new thingy this week on the programme. As you know, iPM is all about you (we're hugging you as I type this) and we think it will be fun to get YOUR news into the show.

Very simple. Just send us one sentence of news about your week. Don't rabbit on. Just one sentence. Email it to: ipm@bbc.co.uk putting MY NEWS in the subject line. Please don't add it here....we want to keep the surprise for Saturday, when we'll put the best of them together on iPM. Ta-da!

(You're creative enough not to need my help. But we don't mind whether it's "I washed the cat" or "I divorced my partner", though for your sake we hope it's the former. Honestly your cat is filthy. Look forward to hearing from you.) 1243 UPDATE: On the PM Blog Gossipmistress asks whether the news item will have your name attached. Good question. Answer: no!

    No. Post it here.

    It's so much nicer scanning stuff on the blog, here, than listening to stuff read out in unconvincing naturalistic tones on iPM.

    As for the 'chosen one's interview in their home', how many can you do a week?

    Here, we could have 200 snippets in half an hour. Plus replies.

    Stop trying to de-democratise the blog, by trying to cream off the best bits with a promise of a tawdry 15 seconds of low level fame

    PM should have no leaders and no followers.

    Like the blog.

    So how did you KNOW our cat is filthy? Have you been watching our garden on google earth again?
    Anyway, at least the floor's not filthy. I've hoovered that.
    Darn it - that was going to be my week's news!!

    Is it my imagination, or is the above an oxymoron? :)

    Sorry, couldn't resist...

    Actually we need a Deadline. Cos no point in sending my news item at Midnight friday if the particular item was "in the can" at 8.00 pm!

    Oh don't worry about deadlines Stewart. We don't!

    (we can always hold stuff over to the following week. We do it all the time. Not a word to the Trust.)

    You're hugging me? That's harassment and unwanted sexual attention ... HELP! *Section 14 in progress* (or whatever it is)

    Anyway, you don't want to know what I've been doing as it will more than likely offend most people and certainly does not fit into the BBCs idea of something that can be broadcast.

    That's right, you guessed it, I read the BNP website, ate several yummy bacon sandwiches and fed my cat. Oh I also demonstrated my disgust at the ID card scheme.

    Re Stewart M (6)

    why . . . get up and listen to the show?

    As this week's iPM is going to be broadcast at "sensible o'clock" in the afternoon, I would hope that the getting up thing was no longer a problem.
