Okay, thanks. I shall make sure your comments come to the attention of those in power.

As of today, the requirement to log in to view Birdsong (and the Lounge) has been removed.

Our homepage currently shows a log on screen, but if you follow either of the links in the TV Forum drop down menu you'll be taken directly to either forum.

Happy reading.

Poor Les Ross had to bail out from today's WM afternoon show after an hour, cos he felt a bit queer.

I simply won't comment, in case I get into trouble, not that Les would worry, however.

Hey, Westy, have you seen the new radio forum over at Metropol? Might be a good home for your regular BBC WM updates.


i turn my back for 5 minutes and you poach the midlands thread's most vocal contributor! tut tut!

Today(Thursday) is Mollie's 33rd birthday & I'm 'back in the fold' after 3 months enforced absence ! Very Happy

Tom Manners is covering the WM Early Show (Friday), while she spends the weekend flitting between the Cotswolds & Blackpool !

Dunno about Monday though.

Things to listen out for tonight & tomorrow.

Let's see how knackered Franksy & Flupton get after doing extra shifts at the Election prog, plus their own shows!

Lighting problems on the bulletin tonight. Didn't look like any of the overhead lights were on, except for the normal 'house' lights above them.

It makes the studio look bigger with those lights, can't they keep them?
