Eddie Mair fans - did you listen tonight?

[Hassled]

Did the man get on the bus to Swansea? I need to know.

[Hassled]

.

[LimeJellyforBrains]

They said they'd report on how he got on tomorrow. I am another one rooting for him and wanting to hear.

[Hassled]

Oh thank you thank you thank you :). I didn't miss him, after all.
A friend came round and I couldn't say "lovely to see you but I have to know about a man and a bus"

[Yama]

I love Eddie Mair but don't get to listen every day. Anyway, this thread prompted me to google Mr Mair, just to see what he looks like. Blimy, he doesn't look like I expected him to.

[Ponders]

they are going to cover today's special activities tomorrow

(apart from the tattoo parlour, which was wonderful )

[ObviouslyOblivious]

I love Eddie :o

[Ponders]

I love Eddie too

he's so sweet with people who need it (he could have done Home Truths, I reckon, if they'd kept it going)

& so snippy with people who need that

[Lionelblairs]

I rather liked: (to Robert Peston) "you are getting on my nerves now."

And

"yes Robert we should do this again, see you in 2016."

[MrsWembley]

YY to Eddie! My absolute favourite person on the radio. I miss him doing BH, though Paddy is quite good.

I missed the first half of tonight's PM and couldn't concentrate with the rest once DP arrived home with DD. Loved the tattoo parlour bit.

What happened to man and bus?

[Ponders]

I just googled Eddie & found this from the Telegraph:

"For a long time I have had a bitter and angry feud with the BBC's Business Editor, Robert Peston. Who knows what it was originally about (I do) and who can remember whose fault it was (Robert's)"

ROFL

[Hassled]

Yay! to all these Eddie fans. Will have to iPlayer tonight's then, if I missed tattoo woman and Peston.

[MrsWembley]

Oh, he occasionally mentions the feud. Even if it is real, it's an excellent piece of radio.

[MrsWembley]

Sorry - piece of radio? Don't quite know what I meant there...

[Ponders]

nah, the feud is pure radio. v v good though. I like Peston better after today (will still have to turn him off when reporting however)

yes, the pissed bride was fab

\link{https://twitter.com/#!/eddiemair\lots of Peston banter}

[Hassled]

Oh I love him even more now I've seen his tweets :o

[ObviouslyOblivious]

He's one of my favourite tweeters.

[FunnysInTheGarden]

I love Eddie Mair and missed the end of PM tonight. Can't wait to hear how the man on the bus to Swansea got on. Told DH about it as he loves EM too, all about the bitter blood feud between him and RP. DH was . It really is the only news programme that makes me laugh on a regular basis. They will update tomorrow I hope.

[FunnysInTheGarden]

Ponders Home Truths takes me back, fab programme and you are right EM would be great. I loved Home Truths and am missing John Peel as we speak

[stainesmassif]

Oh. I was just thinking today that Eddie Mair would be disappointing in the flesh but he is QUITE THE FOX.

[Ponders]

he's gay though

[MrsWembley]

My gaydar must be broken. I've been so looking forward to flirting should we ever meet.

[Ponders]

he always seems up for flirting anyway, MrsW

".... well with me now is Geoffrey Robinson. He was once voted 'After-dinner Speaker of the Year', so if you've had your tea, you're in for a treat" (Mon 14 Feb 2011)

("if you've had your tea" neatly combines PM & ISIHAC)

[Mair was talking to a public figure on the subject of police investigations of allegations of homophobia against Sir Iqbal Sacranie. This person was quite hostile to the police action, and as he was speaking his mobile rang...] Mair: "That'll be the police for you now..."

"Yesterday people were going past my window in t shirts and dresses. But that's the men at the BBC for you." 22Sept06
