        You will be missed. An authoritative voice and much needed when @bbc5live output at weekends is becoming more fluffy.

        I’m a bit late to this, babysitting duties took our life over for a couple of days. You were the first person I thought of when I heard this. I wonder who will fill that slot, are Dick and Dom available?
