Nils Blythe: Actor.
We know him from our nightly Upshares Downshares. 
But as I said a moment ago, we received a photocopied document today revealing much earlier dramatic strengths.
This is the note that came with it: 
And here is the document:

Harrumph. We all know the "full play" ...
Eddie: that was a tad unkind. It also opens huge possibilities - "vengeance is a dish best served cold..." (though I doubt the lovely Nils would stoop so low).
Nils: the gloves are off - where was Eddie at school?

My pantos were legendary. They still talk about my Abanazer (sp?)

Pantos? Is that the plural of pants?

How can you do this and PM at the same time? Hats off to you.
Pants off maybe later.

I seem to have strayed into a Carry On script.

There's the dot you dropped at (4), Eric.

No NO! I don't believe it!
BTW: this morning I had a Twilight Zone moment when I logged on, only to find, no comments or blogs anywhere. Not even on Hilda Gibson. Everyone had vanished. Nothing. "Comments (0)".
Some cover story about work being done to repair same which, being a former Spook, I didn't believe for a second.
I was distraught. It was as though none of us had ever existed.
Thank goodness everything has been put back into place.
Pants and all.
Whew.

Lord Bellamy, surely?
Lady Sue, we're all figments of your imagination ;o)

Ah, "Duke Theseus". How disappointing, I thought we were going to be treated to the sight of Nils' Bottom.
(Note to Mods: that joke must be 400 years old, modproof surely?)

Eddie (6): Your concentration definitely slipped at that point - I heard the hesitation in the middle of your plug for The World Tonight. Tee hee!

BTW, don't let Aps see that photo of Nils. He's a dead ringer for George Clooney, and we all know how she feels about HIM!

Big Sis (9) As I'm in colour, does that make me a pigment of her imagination?
SSC (10) Didn't he present "Theseus Your Life"?

I cannot believe that this is the subject of a new "thread" on the Frog. There was a Nils-thingy earlier today labelled "Scary"! Is this Nils-revelation-thingy NOT scary??? Surely this should have just been an UPDATE-type-thingy

So how many OIs are there in the BBC news organisation? I now know of two, but are there more?

Nigel (16):
There be plenty of ois in the BBC, else it'd be the BB Can't-see.
Complain about this comment
What the heck is an OI? Is it related to an OU?

Big Sister (18):
I'm guessing "Old Ipswichians".

SSC (19), 10 out of 10.

Thanks, Cat. I was thinking it might have something to do with local yokels .... ;o)

Apparently if he is a true OI he will be able to sing the well known "Get thee of me turnip tarps" with the appropriate accent...

So, Karen, it does have something to do with local yokels ;o)

So dear friends -I have just read the thread right from the top and I must say the convoluted thread does have some point but what it is I just can't fathom ......or was that the point
LADY SUE though - I would have paid money to see Edie without his pants on.

oh dear ... Nils is chasing Robert Peston to win the gold star for the weirdest vocal delivery in the financial world. What is it about financial journalists - are they forced to attend the 'Strange diction with wrong and extreme emphasis' school? I recommend they listen for a while to, for example, Alistair Cooke, or (of course) Eddie Mair. Clear diction, intelligent emphasis, human delivery. Leaving the listener with understanding of their message, rather than concentration on the mad vocal peculiarities of the messenger.

(24) Jack: Big Sis has commented on your comment on (yet another) thread - I get so lost on all these threads!
I'm afraid (despite what you might think) we haven't seen Eddie without his pants. I suspect we would have to cajole him into being 'sans pantaloons' even with jolly roger boxer shorts firmly in place.
Maybe for the Advent calendar?
No, no - far too inappropriate.

I listened with interest to upshares/downshares again and listened to a virtual repeat on the BBC news. I am staggered that in all the talk of public sector borrowing and discussions such as todays about the lack of adequate personal pension provision, there is little or no mention that private sector individuals are paying for a massive public sector who have no worries about their pension. They still receive final salary based pensions - something being phased out in almost all private sector companies. They make minimal contributions for a cast-iron return which is largely funded from current taxation. Do I remember some of them whinging about working to the age of 65 recently? Lets have some unbiased comment - or is it because BBC have similar perks to your average public sector worker?
Regards
Rob Coupe
