In case you hadn't noticed Stephanie Flanders is back.
Robert Peston had it too good for too long while Stephanie was dropping her sprog.
Now she is popping up all over the place, and I haven't seen him for days.
She's even got a blog called 'Stephanomics" - geddit?
Be afraid Robert. Be very afraid.
You may be able to bring down a bank or two, but Stephanie is the thinking man's credit cruncher, and she's gonna skin you alive.
Peston, you were good. But the lack of Stephanie made you look a whole lot better.
Let's see what you're made of now. Or does that PR job at Barclays on 500,00K look that little bit more attractive now?
OK that's not fair. It's just good to see her back. Go Stephanie! Nail the bankers.
Notes: Flanders is the BBC hackette who rose to fame on Newsnight, where even the wisened Paxman fell under her spell. Now she has transferred to the mainstream news and the sky is the limit. Hopefully she won't get headhunted by Al Jezeera or the likes.
