Nice to DUP you

Mark Devenport | 17:35 UK time, Wednesday, 27 February 2008

The blog has previously noted Gregory Campbell's little known ability to mimic Gerry Kelly Please Hang Up and Try Again. But I am still coming to terms with the East Londonderry MP's Bruce Forsyth impression. If I hadn't heard it on Talk Back this lunchtime I would never have credited it.

Talk Back Listen Again

So the blog's not working right for you either Martin?

I emailed the geeks at the Â鶹ԼÅÄ who wrote back to tell me it's a long-standing problem with the whole blog platform and they will have it fixed in 2 to 3 months.

REPEATS ARE A BIT BORING; YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!

Quite rightly the Â鶹ԼÅÄ has often been criticised for scheduling too many repeats. Unfortunately, the practice has been carried over to your Blog with Posters’ contributions frequently being displayed more than once (in Martin’s case four times).

Following a hissy fit from my Secretary, and at her insistence, I write to ask if anything can be done to improve the operational efficiency of the website. It might also be useful if we Posters could be alerted to the days when it is going to be giving problems.

Mark, if the fault isn’t going to fixed soon I shall need a new Secretary.

RJ and Suzie thank you for your comments regarding the issue of this blog not always working. I posted my comment 7 times on the 27th February and only 4 of them showed up. In each case it displays "this page cannot be found" Will this be fixed Mark? As a suggestion before comments are approved if there are 2 or more comments that are the exact same just approve 1 and disregard the others.

IT’S THE WAY HE TELLS ‘EM

Gregory is a most talented mimic with a wide repertoire of impressions. Have you heard his Frank Carson while attempting to justify the payment of rent to his wife for a constituency office? Now, THAT’S A CRACKER!
