I really thought when I woke up on Thursday that it was Friday. But we'll get there in the end. And of course we've got pancake day to look forward to next week. (Lemon and sugar for me, by the way - forget the honey and Maple syrup!)

Talking food - it's this week that John Foster is living on a pound a day. He tells me that cycling in to work 6 miles at 4.30am on day one didn't set him up that well for the week. Must have been funny with the film crew following him. However, he did cheat as we had suggested by going on the scrounge for food. I had suggested going to any free function where they were giving away nibbles, he went one better and befriended a farmer's wife who, no doubt keen to get on TV, kindly donated some produce.

How did he get the pig on his bike?

Anyway, we are at a Chinese restaurant for his last night, a get together of broadcasters was arranged some time ago. He's not allowed to spend more than a pound a day, so half a portion of boiled rice should suffice and the rest he'll be scrounging off us. You can see what happened on the BBC show Inside Out on March 4 at 7.30pm. I think he should have been doing it "raising money by doing something funny" and you should have see it all on Comic Relief. He won't be laughing when we only give him the skin off the duck and a few bits of old spare rib bones.

I'm twittering...
Great story in the news this week which reminded me of something which happened, my goodness, 17 years ago. Lance Armstrong had his race bike stolen and when you consider that it is worth $10,000 and probably likely to have been seen on TV by millions, it's probably not something you'd be able to sell on easily. Armstrong had posted a picture of his stolen bike on the social networking site Twitter, (I'm tiggercolman on there by the way) and more than 900 people had enlisted in a search for the bike through a Facebook group "1 Million Citizens Looking for Lance Armstrong's Stolen Bike". It's no surprise it was handed in.

Sergeant Norm Leong of the Sacramento police force had said: "All the technology involved really kept the story alive and moving. "It was clear that most of the people in the community were looking for this bike. It makes it hard to transport the thing; you can't ride it or sell it, it is that hot of an item."

Hmmm it reminded me of the time my car was broken into and a box full of T-shirts which I had paid for myself and had embroidered with the "Steve Colman Breakfast Show" and with a Roman numeral clock set at 7pm, were stolen. Subsequently the police contacted me and said that they had found a load of T-shirts in someone's wardrobe. I never got them back even though they found them. Probably used as prizes at The Policeman's Ball. I was then reminded a bit earlier today whilst watching the cricket from Antigua that there was something also taken from my car - Richie Richardsons' West Indies Cricket cap signed by him – although the loss of the T-shirts dented by pocket, osing that really hurt. I, as Lance did, obviously used the technology of the time and mentioned it on the radio so it was probably binned somewhere. Unless you know otherwise...
