    Still preparing to put the blame on Paddy, I see.

    "Don't rabbit on" - well how d'you expect us to tell you all the scintillating and riveting happenings of our week in a sentence? I mean, come on. Trying to get a quart in a pint pot or what?

    And how will you check if they're true? mmmm? Had you considered that? Don't want something read out on air that turns out to be succinct, witty, amusing LIE do we? What? You don't care? All right then, I'll see what I can do.

    Perhaps you could restrict it to 140 characters and use Twitter instead of email.

    How about imagining what those in higher places might contribute:

    Had a brilliant idea - but not everyone agreed. A Darling.

    Fuming at Labour's latest tax bombshell. G Osbourne.

    How long until 6pm? E Mair.

    Another hectic week - orders flying in, everyone wanting the same delivery date. S Claus.

    Can I avoid saying something stupid in the next two months? G Bush.

    Engage brain before putting mouth into gear. J Ross.

    Fascinating stuff and love Paddy's idea - but if they are totally anonymous, isn't it all rather pointless.

    The fact that an anonymous person has washed an anonymous cat for example?

    Can the people who wish to remain anonymous not invent a pseudonym for themselves and their pets?

    Jonnie (8) Well how about a list of contributors but not linked to their news. That way we could try and match them up!
