I love Charlie.

Indeed. He is so kind, capable and considerate.

Can hardly keep my eyes open but listening to John Martyn in concert on RTE 1 - spellbinding stuff for the early hours of a Monday morning.

Yes, I'm enjoying this too. Listened to him play many times, he will be sadly missed.

Why has Kate P changed her name? I prefered "Kate" to "Katie". From independant woman to subject of a Mary Black song. What gives?

Why are RTE currently showing a whole documentary on people not making it to the Barbara Streisand concert because of bad weather?

And they're shocked when people resent paying for this...

Long, boring story Zhou and no one else to blame but meself.

I don't like it either.

There are things which are scandalous and this isn't one of them. The only reason why it's a "scandal" is because the 50something middle-classers who went to the concert are the ones who run this country and it offended their sensibilities. If it was a Kings of Leon concert attended by teenagers to 30somethings, we wouldn't even remember it now.

On a different subject, Ard-T, what is your reaction to the Big News tonight? Paxo looked a bit glassy eyed earlier

I am mixed with sadness at the great institution of University Challenge being sullied by such scurrilous deceit and visceral pleasure that plummy southern gits have gotten their comeuppance against a northern university.

Ard-T, must be honest, didn't follow the whole series through, no time, so can't even identify Johnfas' friend, but why on earth am I rebelling instinctively against your "plummy Southern gits" comment?

Hmm, maybe cos I have friends and acquaintances from just about every corner of these two islands, including some plummy-sounding southern people ......truth be told, I am angry against both Kay and whichever BBC producer / prod asst should've checked this thing out beforehand. As someone who is instinctively a BBC supporter - and especially of the BBC World Service which I particularly esteem - I am becoming increasingly frustrated and angry at the serial incompetence of the BBC. I know they can't win but ...

I dislike the fact that in a competition called Univeristy Challenge that each college of Oxford and Cambridge can individually enter while being far smaller than the University of Manchester which is limited to but one team.

I doubt it! I wouldn't think it would do you a great many favours as a future academic at Oxbridge!

You never know - maybe she might like not to be (even more!) stereotyped?

It could ignite a debate about college fees. She may not need to do photoshoots to pay for her education but others may be in that position.

Let's hope so .

A close friend of mine did. She jokes about it, but she lives in dread of the evidence of them emerging some day to haunt her.

You should post the pics Cactus... seriously...

Good to see you Kate P. Was that Katie P your evil twin ? I'd see her as someone who might wear wicked black patent boots.

Great to see you have your name back. Now go put some clothes on you dirty yoke.

Folks, I just posted my 100th post and thought I would go from being a blastocyst to something with more respec'. So I am here for my party. Mine's a Cristal, thank you.

I wish to thank my parents, my cat, my producer, director, the mods ..... oh shoot, that was last week's achievement.

You are a scholar and a gentleman Johnfás, even if it's Bollinger. Let me find another glass.....
