Pointing the finger

You have to be careful when pointing an accusing finger - because you point three at yourself at the same time.
Jeremy Paxman had a moan about the BBC over its poor green credentials. His colleague, Gavin Esler, made this comment in his Newsnight daily email this afternoon:

Imagine my surprise this morning opening my copy of The Times to read that my esteemed colleague Jeremy Paxman has offered a devastating critique of the BBC's failures to be Green enough, failures on recycling, failures to cut power consumption, failures to help save the planet.

Great stuff, I thought. Then imagine my surprise because in the BBC office Jeremy and I share with Kirsty and Emily, the computer and monitor (which we also share) were left switched on all night. The culprit? Hmmm. Who could it possibly be wasting all that electricity? Well, the last log-in that I could discover was "Paxmanj." Any ideas?

Never mind Jeremy - at least you can save on one Christmas Card next year - an environmentally friendly gesture of course.
