Your News, we want to hear it
Missing bantams, gun-toting husbands, speeding trains, wood smoke, sleepless nights. It may sound like lyrics from a Tom Waits' song, but these are some of the topics you'll hear in our weekly "Your News" feature.
The idea: You tell us your news in a single sentence, we string them all together as a bulletin read out by a BBC voice.
Winston Plowes sent his news in the form of a haiku..
On the lonely moors, the wind cuts into my face. Stranded, far from home.
Last week, the sports broadcaster James Alexander Gordon joined the galaxy of Radio 4 stars who have read Your News. Listener Iris Wells made this request:
"Perhaps you would kindly consider asking Moira Stuart if she would read the listeners' news one week? It would be good to hear Moira again - I miss her reading the news on TV."
iPM has approached Moira's agent. Fingers crossed.
If you have a sentence of news (haiku optional) or want to nominate a Your News newsreader, leave a comment below or email us at ipm-at-bbc.co.uk.

Earlier this afternoon I went for a walk across a windy field. It made me think there's great beauty in old trees.

I've just received my new photo of my adopted chimp, Eddi. She's growing up fast!

It would be good to get Moira out from that cupboard and back into the Beeb - though, after the way she was treated, she may prefer not to return, even for Eddie .....

Seeing a BBC article re atheist ads on buses, clicked on Richard Dawkins link and got an error message inviting an email to Dawkins webmaster. Another error: - conclusion = "There's probably no Richard Dawkins, so get on and enjoy life."

I think that the Fine journalist; Moira Stuart should read the news not one day but again for the BBC....

Bought a bicycle for our daughter and went for a family ride today, very cold but very enjoyable :-)

Could clearly see in the snow where a pheasant had landed and then run off across the field. Brilliant.

Saved £1.00 buying fish for my cat-paid the vet £100 to remove a bone from her throat!
