    Truly a man with a 'hinterland'.

    Big Sister (4):

    I think John Sergeant should be busted to private.

    Did I mention last time Captain Kirk appeared in that picture that he seems to have one of those flying fried-egg aliens attached to his jacket?

    Probably... If so, this is UK-PM Gold.

    Why, Cat? He's very very funny (and no, I'm not thinking Strictly Come Dancing).

    Ah, we will have to agree to differ here. From his visits to The News Quiz, I've formed the (maybe unfair) opinion that *he* finds himself far funnier than I find him. For me, the only funny thing he did was get in Mrs Thatcher's way, and that palled after the fourth or fifth repeat.

    As for the Come Dancing thing, I stopped watching that when Wogan stopped presenting it. (Not that I watched it much even then.)

    Ah well, Cat, we can't (don't) agree on everything, but we can still have fun.

    Absolutely.

    Anyone here remember when Eddie was on The News Quiz?

    How about bunging that on U-Bend and linking to it M. Mair? (Or Me-Player...)

    I always thought that he that was James T Kirk ought to lose weight. Not gravitas but poundage. He was once on a Sci Fi Quiz and looked very ill and perspiring. A T J Hooker - even letting Adrian Zmed doing the running after bad guy - would possibly have been fatal.

    I am pleased he has returned to better health. And grieve that this year he couldn't boldy go up to the podium and come back grasping more than his Phaser Gun.

    Talking of Oleagenous - allegedly. That was scary!

    Hiding behind the sofa me and Doctor Who. David Milliband swearing allegiance to our Prime Minister.

    The disbelievers in the auditorium were mischievously picked out one by one by the BBC News camera team - including Gordon - one gentleman especially quiet - not wanting to be thrown out AGAIN perhaps? lol

    Yeah,Eddie. How about showing such horrors after the watershed of 9.00pm?

    Just after Now, Star Trek Voyager.

    Smoked filled room. Paul Henried looking down at Hazel Blears with love and voices off saying to someone just out of camera shot - "We have the Foreign Secretary post, David - stop mooning me - why ask for the PM gig too?" lol

    And the US beat Europe in the Ryder Cup. Better bring in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. And don't forget the Oxford comma.

    Stephen! Where have you been when we needed you? There are too many other sorts of plutocrats around. Pseudo-plutocrats, perhaps?

    I don't want a week that's shat-ner, thanks; they just happen anyway. Even if Eric's one was fun.
