I wondered where you were. I passed the Private Eye offices the other day on the way to a movie screening and watched this woman on the phone. She looked ever so serious, the poppet.
I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

erm... well, welcome back! What's the best email address for you by the way?
my first name, a dot, my last name, @private-eye.co.uk
yes.
As a Private Eye anorak who recently discovered your blog, I echo Flora's sentiment with an "Aye!" (Or better yet, spelled "Eye!")
Hooray!
Crikey - I do have readers then. Promise I'll think of something clever to write as soon as this jetlag wears off...

Yes, belated missings from me too. Write some more stuff for your blog; you've been back a week ;o)
