We're you hinting at something when your talked about the Plasmas being temporarye earlier, Mike?


No, I wasn't - merely suggesting there's no proof the plasmas in situ are a temporary fix until more money can be sourced...

I was at a friend's house tonight watching Midlands Today and they pointed out what I thought - Nick Owen looks like a little child at that desk.

Well they can't win then, because he apparently looked like a little child at the last desk. Maybe it's just Nick?


Nick Owen never really looks comfortable on the wide shots.


I think I've figured out what it is. He puts his hands on, what looks like, his lap, rather than resting them on the desk.

All they could scrape! Malin doesn't bother me too much, I preferred her at Central mind...

Another one for the rumour mill. She could be offered Suzanne Virdee's old job as a way of getting her off WM as part of DQF cuts.

Slightly off topic, any opinions on Pete Morgan @ Breakfast yet on WM?

Caught a few.

At least there's no mention of kids, because he doesn't have any!

Mary Rhodes is working for Live@Wimbledon for the next fortnight, which could see Jo Malin covering more bulletins.

Wonder if she'll still do the radio show too?

(I'll have to check IPlayer. If she's off, they'll probably get Mad Mollie to cover!)

Much better than Central "News" on Sunday, which was worse than awful, self-congratualtory lead sob-story reported by the presenter, briefly touched on a few far more important things, then a long look at the website.

Today's 'burning question'.

Whos taking Maisie for her morning walk if Mommy's on telly reading the news?

Surely not the Good Doctor?

Radio WM in-jokes, I assume.

Wasted because Westy is the only person in the world still listening to WM.

WM didn't even put their Aegon Classic commentary on DAB this year; online only.
