Thanks, Brendan - you have your own, personal fiend? I don't like to ask what role he or she has in your life.

PS I'm sure your talking tripe was a one-off occurrence, one that taught you a valuable lesson - ie steer clear of tripe.

......is there a "typo" equivalent a Freudian slip?

Brendan, if there isn't, there should be!

PS I couldn't resist mentioning it, it was just too tempting.

Not only did the BBC cancel last night's screening of HIGNFY, but they also pulled the plug on the filming of ' A Tale Of 22 Cities'. This was the much-anticipated show from Jigjag and myself, a light-hearted look at our travels around the globe. I have no idea whether this was a political decision or not, but I am currently exploring other avenues. Any further news or information will appear here. Thanks.

To Whom It May Concern...

I have cashed in all my Nectar points and am setting sail tomorrow. A life on the ocean wave beckons - well, a week on the ocean wave beckons. I have packed stockings for Christmas Island, eggs for Easter Island and a lettuce for Cos. Anything else I need can be bought along the way.


I hope there are a few niggles and moans to keep everyone's inner pedant satisfied.

My show was cancelled too but I am hoping it can be re-arranged. Good luck on your cruise and hope you have some stories on your return. Perhaps your show can be re-arranged as well?

Grunger, thanks. Was your show cancelled because someone ate all the pies (intended to illustrate your talk)?

Yes, I'm sure there will be a new date for the Travellers' Tales.

Regarding the BBC and the unfortunate cancellations, I can say that they at least made one correct decision recently. I shall quote the email I sent to the Herald, and which they printed yesterday. (Seriously, I was very surprised, to say the least, that they actually printed it). It read:

The BBC was absolutely justified in sacking Danny Baker for tweeting a photograph with a chimp he purported to be the new royal baby. How dare he make fun of the baby's grandfather's ears?

Malone

It was cancelled owing(!) to rather disappointing ticket sales. I have been eating pies all day as I dont think they will keep until next week.

I like it (your e-mail) and well done on getting it published.

I imagine the chimp would have been traumatised at being compared to a member of the royal family - time the Beeb got rid of some of the over-paid creeps it employs.
