Thank you 5:10pm on 18 Aug 2009 John_from_Hendon: Market share refers to our share of those people who are listening to the radio when we are on air, ie 10pm-10.45pm. The size of the available "market" varies at different times of the day. The sad fact is that more people listen to the radio in the mornings than in the evenings, apparently because, inexplicably, some people prefer to watch TV in the evenings.
No. No I forbid you to post captions for this photograph. No. No, please do not do it. 10:46pm on 13 Jul 2009 No, Eddie, I will not pay you to be my PR adviser, but thanks for doing such an excellent job. Surely, though, you should have told the good PM folk that (a) the photo was taken in Mexico City, and (b) it was bullet-proof -- all of which opens up a whole new world of caption possibilities.
Pictures from Mexico 12:21pm on 09 Jul 2009 apologies for a minor technical malfunction. Please return to the site later. Maybe I should stick to radio after all.
Michael Mates on the Iraq inquiry 1:01pm on 26 Jun 2009 Yes, it's the whole interview as broadcast. He used the "make people's eyes water" phrase in the Commons, but not in the interview.
Mideast baby steps 10:48am on 25 Jun 2009 If I may, I think it's important to clear up a misconception. MAII said "The UN created two nations from the Palestinian Mandate in 1948, one Jewish state Israel and one Arab State Jordan."

In fact, the 1947 UN partition plan envisaged two states, one Jewish and one Arab, both on the West side of the River Jordan. The country then called Transjordan, now called Jordan, was an additional, third nation, which had been created under the British mandate in 1921. There's a useful map here: http://www.mideastweb.org/unpartition.htm
A Gaza victim speaks of peace 4:00pm on 09 Feb 2009 JERUSALEM, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The United Nations said on Monday that Hamas has returned all of the aid supplies that it seized from the agency in the Gaza Strip last week.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said the return of the supplies cleared the way for it to resume all of its operations in the Hamas-ruled enclave
Gaza points of view 3:47pm on 08 Feb 2009 #725 SteveGNyc

I assume you must have missed this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7875171.stm
Gaza points of view 9:02pm on 01 Feb 2009 For those who are interested in BBC coverage of the fighting in Sri Lanka, we covered it extensively last Thursday on The World Tonight. You can access it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldtonight, click on Listen Again Thursday's edition -- the Sri Lanka material begins seven and a half minutes into the programme.
Gaza points of view 08:10am on 29 Jan 2009 709 Fact check:

According to an opinion poll published in The Times on 4 July 2006:

13% of British Muslims think that the four men who carried out the London Tube and bus bombings of July 7, 2005, should be regarded as "martyrs"

7% agree that suicide attacks on civilians in the UK can be justified in some circumstances, rising to 16 per cent for a military target

16% of British Muslims say that while the attacks may have been wrong, the cause was right
Dissenting voices 2:27pm on 23 Jan 2009 20 & 21:

Did you listen to our programme? If not, please do -- there's a link to it in Alistair's piece. The interview with the white activist took up approximately 3 minutes in a 45-minute programme.
