Fans of The Word's silver-tongued Music Business Correspondent Eamonn Forde may have spied their hero appearing on Channel 4 News this lunchtime, providing expert witness as to how record companies are coping in the age of illegal downloads. For anyone who missed it, the clip is now online.

Those twiddling thumbs
suggest someone who reluctantly put his iPhone down, mid tweet, seconds before going on air.
Nice shirt...
silver-tongued and a snappy dresser.
Mmmmm....
...bet those glasses weren't cheap either.
Hair matches the tongue, I note, in silveryness - apart, strangely, from the sideburns, which look suspiciously stuck on.
Maybe he went to Specsavers?
Not sure on the shirt, myself. Short-sleeve shirts can look a little odd on me (white skinny arms, you see) - which is why I have long-sleeve ones, and roll up the sleeves in warmer weather. Gives me a better shape.
P.S.
Is The Word looking for a fashion correspondent?
Might I suggest you get one of these...
you'll end up with arms like Popeye.
I already have a girl-friend, thanks...
... and that's a rather unusual wine-rack she's stood next to.
Can I be the Word's business/economics correspondent, please?
I could make Robert Peston look like the lightweight he is.
He's from Northern Ireland you know
- we all dress like that - or actually is it Bristol, or New Zealand or ... all of the above?
Sounds like you are all just jealous.
Hmm?
*swoons*
May I second...
...that *swoon*?
Yes, me too.
*swoon*
Oh...
Balance
Don't preen too much. We're only trying to match the outbreak of sighing that occurs here whenever La Mossman makes an appearance...
What?
Oh. Yes. Balance. That's right. Nothing to see here. Nobody has a crush on anybody.
*whistles nonchalantly*
Nah
That's David Tennant's older brother.
David?
You sure you don't mean Neil?
He's a bit thin like.
Wish I was that thin actually, doesn't he drink or eat pies?
My pc just froze at this bit
Carl Dineen is obviously shocked by our EF
Probably read
one of Mr F's splendidly caustic tweets.
Sharp analysis as ever from
Sharp analysis as ever from Eamonn. Has to be one of the 'men of the year'!!
Please don't fall for the hype
This man is evil. He has a secret plan for domination of the media involving the bombardment of the Twitterverse and photos of public transport. He's already wheedled his way into most of this month's edition of the Word (oh, alright, he has a couple of articles) and he won't stop until it's his face on the introduction on page 1. If I were Mark Ellen I would be watching my back.
Busted.
My "Machiavellian Media-Manipulation Masterplan" (patent pending) is undone.
