The BBC have just phoned, confirming what they want from me for this ‘Imagine’ programme about blogging.<\/p>\n
I am required to turn up at TV Centre on Wednesday morning and read out a paragraph or so from my diary, on camera. The choice of the excerpt is mine. <\/p>\n
Question is, which bit to read? <\/p>\n
I’ve just been looking through the archives, and am tempted to read something that dates it to 1998 or 1999, just by way of showing off that I’ve been at this so-called blogging business a lot longer than most people. <\/p>\n
For example, “the real tragedy of the Paddington rail crash is Jilly Cooper surviving unscathed.” <\/p>\n
I’d quite like to see someone say that on TV. But I suspect someone else has beaten me to it. That’s always the danger with trying to be funny about stories in the news. <\/p>\n
But it doesn’t have to be an old entry so much as a readable, entertaining one. Which narrows it down somewhat. So, Dear Reader, if you have a favourite DE diary entry or excerpt that you think would benefit from an airing on BBC1, now is the time to email me at once. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
