I'll probably get all embarrassed and take it down after 5 mins but here you go:

Oh that's a nice voice.
And I've just learned your name is NET-I-ZEN as opposed to NIGHT-ZEN - which I've been reading incorrectly since you started, it seems.

I wasn't going to be so self indulgent, but here goes... I'm sure many of you already know what I sound like anyway.

I may try and dig out my microphone, not sure where it is though. Otherwise you may have to rely on descriptions from the few of you who have heard my voice.

How odd - on both counts! Nice of you to say though, I always thought I sound particularly dorky.

What a lush voice, James.

on the adblock thing, i don't tend to click on any ads i'm just not interested and so i might as well save myself and the banner company bandwidth by not downloading them in the first place.
i also don't get any of the page errors described by some users, in fact, the great thing about adblock is that it is able to collapse the space used by these banners and make the page look a bit nicer.
i do accept that for smaller sites blocking adverts probably is a bit mean, but we're blasted with crap and adverts pretty much everywhere we go (you can't even have a slash in a pub without a big advert staring you in the face), and so i decide to limit my exposure to them as much as possible.

Personally it always takes my entire attention to be on-target so I never notice those.

I hate the one that start taking at you, also the ones where the batteries have run low or something and so they start slurring like they're drunk.
Or perhaps it's just me that's drunk and I'm imagining it all, as I can't say I've seen one when sober...

I've got a stinking cold at the moment so sound even more of a ponce than usual.
I have had the pleasure of a phone conversation with James Martin, and I must confess that no racist/homophobic remark passed his lips!
And I think Lee got a pissed voicemail from me whilst in Crete for a years ago. He begged me to do it. He also got a very nice mug, which I hope he enjoys....

It's packed up somewhere. Sadly, if someone other than me unpacks it in the new house they will be in no doubt as to who it belongs to
Mother remains unbeaten in the rudest gift competition, though. She bought me a lovely black cock rock from her holidays once, so you still have a way to go, Row. Even the camp voicemail is rather tame compared to Bail's sparkly Christmas card with love and kisses
