Calling all PU members....

I know you're a resourceful bunch, so I'm sure one of you will be able to track down the following information for me. I feel I need to send Danny Baker (the DJ/presenter/whatever) a Get Well card. He must be in hospital, but despite his injuries, he's been able to get a message out to the public. I don't know all the details of his accident, but he said ' they literally threw me under the bus', so his body must have taken a terrible bashing.

Are you implying that he wasn't actually thrown under a bus, malone? Surely an oversight?

ChrisE, it sounded a pretty dramatic incident - and Danny said he could 'hear the suits' knees knocking' - and I've decided to take it at face value. People say what they mean, and mean what they say …. don't they?

I read that the bus was stationery and he crawled out from under it. That cant be right - surely it was stationary?

Grunger, thanks for letting us know that you are unable to join us tomorrow. I'm beginning to worry about non-attendances - I've had communications from both Ivor Pryor-Engagement and Elsa Whaire, saying that they too can't make it. I hope your pie talk goes well - if you take along some free samples, you'll have the audience eating out of your hand (literally).
PS I liked the stationery bus.

ChrisE, the old ones aren't always the best....

Hi Malone, I'm also concerned about non-attendances, however, following that dinner at my fiend's house, I feel I'm more than qualified to talk "Tripe" - should the need arise.

Chris, love it :-)

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.

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

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