The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

This is massively geeky and I'm *not* complaining about it, I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who keeps noticing bings and bongs during the news, I'm sure I've heard the skype new message alert a few times to the point where I've checked my own skype window to see if I'd received anything. Anyway on wednesdays show at

3:04:58 sounds like a new skype message
3:05:25 bing sound, don't know what that is probably some kind of messenger

Can anyone else hear that or am I going mad?

Similar sounds have been heard before. What I remember previously were messenger "dings".

It was probably someone who had left the volume up on their computer.

Brilliant EB, sat transfixed for past 5 mins watching that. Still grin each time he pops his head back in... (said the actress to the bishop)

You should try listening to radio 5 in the afternoon, Aasmah's typing and 'system alerts' are a regular a feature of interviews and news updates....
