I dislike the sound of my own voice because I'm not used to it. After all, none of us hear ourselves as others hear us. Blogging is very akin to reading a book - you form mental pictures of the characters and it is often disappointing to see the real thing. [I wasn't disappointed by what I saw of you and Ian BTW!!!!] The pipe was at Scott's insistence. I had to light and relight the damn thing several times. "We want a shot of you typing, and then lighting the pipe and doing more typing". They had to take this from several angles so I had to keep stoking the pipe. They only used a bit in the end and it looks very artificial. Hi Red,

I though the piece was very good. It was also good to put a face/pipe to a blog. So nice to meet you :) You were great, and while I cringed a bit during my piece (is it possible to watch yourself without doing that?) I though the piece was very good.

I enjoyed the piece, well done. As for lucy Kennedy, in my opinion, she's a bit overrated. She looks like a brown-haired Oompa-Loompa.

They should have the episode up on the RTE site in a year or two's time, once they get back from the canteen. Hi Flirty,
