Jeremy Vine ... I think he does an offensive programme about cars on BBC2?

It WAS bad taste, I wouldn't argue with that!

I am coping fine btw - being Childcare Guru's No. 1 Public Enemy has taken my mind off my mastitis!

Frankly it's a dream come true

mp.

I meant to say earlier actually that when I said something about bad taste I didn't mean it was bad taste, just that that was the only real criticism that could potetially be made of it. It wasn't immature.

who is jeremy vine anyway?

No I didn't have to consult a lawyer

But I thought that Mark Stephens did a good job of putting the quote into perspective when Clive Anderson started saying "Well if she straps babies to rockets then I wouldn't want her to look after my children" in a serious voice

PMSL morningpaper. I gather you're a star now and you thouroughly deserve it. I'm so pissed off to have missed all this coverage. I've been camping for four days with a news blackout. Will there be any more coverage on the news today? Bearing in mind I only have the old fashioned five channel set up?
