And an additional pint for each mention of William Wilberforce / Slavery on Look North ULL - its already been mentioned on the 0630 bulletin, and no doubt will be on every one this morning, so by 0900 I should be feeling quite merry Laughing

Oh yes, how could we forget LNH's pathological obsession with Mr Wilberforce? Laughing I might tune in tonight, gives a rest from Ms Davies for a change-- I wonder what councillors His Levyness will have lined up tonight. I'm also on edge to find out how the Wetwang Scarecrow Festival went!!

Surprised we didn't get an "It's not good enough" from His Levyness tonight - thought a few occasions he was going to. That burgundy bin interview was funny though - like the way the bloke just walked off at the end of it! Laughing

As an aside, Loveday Kitto has to be the reporter with the silliest name ever Laughing

Say we add:
Quote:
5 points also for: "It's not on is it" or "What are you going to do about it?"
5 points for a Lincoln Studio interview, to justify its existence.

And a point each for the words "slavery" and "Wilberforce"....
And I think we need 5 points for each of: "We'll leave it there", "Throw this one open."and "big response on this".
And all the other points I mentioned earlier...

Tonight's Look North Hull Lameness Tally is (ta-da) 180

Maybe we need points for Martyn Lewis appearances too. He's been on God-knows-how-many times this year.

Jon says Peter's tie matched the Look North logo on the 3.25.

And at lunchtime someone emailed in to ask if Paul could forecast when the toilets in Queens Gardens would reopen.

We did get several "thanks very much indeed" today. Levyitis is spreading, we had that very phrase spout forth from Dominic Heale's lips on BBC EMT tonight!! Rolling Eyes Laughing

I then turned over in time to see the N Lincs councillor flounce off into his ivory tower, after his confrontation with Peeta, announcing "bye then". Even funnier was that financial expert who started getting shirty at Peter. Strong words indeed.

I was surprised there was not a nice orange scarecrow in his Levyness's honour at Wetwang. Preferably one on a large pile of twigs interspersed with tinder.

Considering that was, of course, a pre-recorded interview I'm surprised they didn't cut the end of, or perhaps Peter was so pleased at having upset him he wanted to keep it in for pride.

I paid a visit to Hull recently, to see some friends there (not because I've done anything wrong). As I was walking along Hessle Road, I found the following transcript of an interview between his Levyness and John Prescott in a dustbin

As Rob Brydon would say, it's just a bit of fun Exclamation

Peter Levy: Thank you for being there. Now, Mr Prescott you mark ten years in office by losing a Labour “stronghold” city-council in your own backyard. It’s not good enough is it?

John Prescott: I’m not even responsible for local government thingy anymore Peter. I just get paid £800,000 for a fancy title; which I won’t have for much longer, because Tony’s boogering off.

PL: Strong words DPM, strong words indeed. What’s your legacy for this region then? There’s the camera— talk to it.

JP: My aggrievements, I mean achievements, are building on loads of Lincolnshire greenbelt land and creating lots of civil service non-jobs in the East Riding.

PL: That’s not good enough is it? What else has your government done in the region-- are we going to get an apology? How about your constituency in Hull?

JP: Well we’ve created more MRSA in Hull hospitals, highest car crime rates in the country and the worst performing schools and local council in the country.

PL: Teenage pregnancy rates in Hull, your fault too.

JP: I’ve never employed any teenagers from Hull in my Whitehall office.

PL: I meant it was your party’s policy’s fault, you fat freak. What are going to do about it?

JP: Oooh, I’ve boogered my interview up. Can I start again?

PL: No, you’re live. Well as long as we’re clear now, strong words from Mr Prescott. Later Dickie Bird and Linda Barker on Mr Prescott’s legacy, but first Paul Hudson is here with the weather and an arty picture. Hello young man!

Paul Hudson: Yes we’ve got a picture of the Driffield Canal, with a half-submerged Jaguar bearing the number plate DPM1! Our director liked that one. It was sent in by a lady called Pauline. Well, the weather over Hull was damp today, meaning it stank of death as usual…

hehe Laughing If I might add:

PL: We've had an email today from Edna Bucket, our viewer in King's Lynn. She's lost her cat, and asks if any viewer spots it, can they get in touch.

Paul Hudson: Well, I can honestly say, I've never seen Edna's pu......

PL: Thank you, that's all we have time for, young man.

Must be struggling for stories on this morning's bulletins. An item about someone complaining that the elderly people crossing the road sign was not PC, and an item on otters "More about the otters later" Laughing
