How good was the section on packed lunches today? I was near self-asphyxiation, I couldn't breathe for laughing. What made it worse: was, as I was clinging onto the kitchen worktop in an effort to stay upright, I looked at my new radio ( did I tell you it has an egg timer?) and the little scrolling message said " Having problems? Phone the Radio 2 Helpline... 0800....... Smile

LOL Rachel.

I wonder if that email has appeared on the website yet?

I hope they do put it on the website. It was such a perfect e-mail, like a Ronnie Corbett joke, but the chap did make his point, and I think won the debate. Packed lunches are bad for your career.

Jezza did have a big lump of cheese between some bread a few weeks ago, so Sally pointed out. I like a good old Packed Lunch. You don't always need a sandwich in it. Chicken, Salad, cheese and biscuits etc.

What do you like in your packed lunch?

I'm looking forward to the comments from STW and listeners on Jezzas "packed Lunch", his bit of cheese was too much for his wife?

(to borrow Jerzy Balowski's comment in The Young Ones)

Laugh? I nearly went to Kosovo (second class, of course) Laughing

Who was the idiot in the studio who thought packed lunches disgusting?

I think he objected more to people eating their packed lunches at their desks.

Spoils the concentration if you're still working but can see, hear and smell someone's consumption of tuna, egg and banana doorstep, kettle-crisps and yogurt.

Even worse in the staffroom - like pigs in a trough! I was as guilty as JV in the winter, but went out at the first hint of warmth - even in the concrete jungle there was a fairly quiet, green clearing (though the council have since decided to charge for going there, so it's not as popular as it was Evil or Very Mad )

The whole segment was really very funny ( to me anyway) but the long e-mail linking a career in the regeneration of Kosovo, to fatherly advice about packed lunches, turning out to have been poor advice, in the face of the evidence of is son's career, was "off the scale", brilliant. Smile I am just a housewife ( retired high flying exective) you know, there's very little going on in my life- so maybe I'm easily pleased. Smile

There was almost the intimation that it was the packed lunch that steadied the country after the war. Genius.
