    Jonathan King

    I agree, but I wouldn't even use the term "child-sex offender" in this context as it only serves to further the confusion.

    Horse Racing

    I should have put Roddy Armytage in here. Marcus reporting on his dad's funeral: A not so divine intervention at my father's funeral "The entire proceedings were brought to a standstill when an irate villager stormed into the church shouting "Stop, stop" ...."

    Queen Elizabeth II

    She's won Scotland but lost the Cup: http://www.abc.net.a...p-place/5770474 I think the cup would have been the better prize of the two.... The horse didn't win anyway, it came in second.

    Jimmy Savile

    Just an idea, like Why don't the BBC get to work CGIing some famous types (Freddie Starr, Jim Davidson, Jimmy Tarbuck etc.) to deliver the original announcements but replace the convicted pervs on old TOTP footage? Joking aside, it's bloody ridiculous that they haven't been showing the old TOTPs because of the presence of these blokes. (Personally I, along with all my friends, found Savile offensive back in the 60s and 70s, but they still showed him regardless.) Why this sudden compulsion to expunge all these people from history? I remember they even cast a convicted murderer in a lead role in one of their most popular soaps. What hypocrisy. At the very least they could just edit out the links from the affected programmes. TOTP2 was produced using captions only. Surely it would only be a couple of days work for some junior BBC editing assistant. The repeats of TOTP are usually edited anyway - the early evening one tends to have a couple of songs cut out to fit into a 30 minute slot. The late night repeat is complete. Not to mention Broadcasting House showcases the art of everyone's favourite incestuous dog-fucker Eric Gill. While I was trying to find out if he fucked any dogs that he was actually related to, I came across this old article, interestingly on the BBC site: Can the art of a paedophile be celebrated?

    Quiz Time

    I got 12, but with exactly the same comment. I said 'no' to the Made In Chelsea question, but besides having no idea what it is, I really don't know if I know anyone who knows someone in it. It's entirely possible. Who knows everybody that everybody they know knows? And punting isn't posh. Everybody who lives anywhere near Oxford or Cambridge must have had a go at that, surely. Anyone who can afford to live near Oxford or Cambridge automatically should proabably get a couple of posh points. Does that include the residents of Blackbird Leys? Or Didcot?

    Scottish Independence

    I was a bit late in taking any interest in this, and felt a bit confused yesterday because it took me a while to work out what "Yes" and "No" were referring to. That is, was it 'Yes, we want to remain in the UK' or 'No, we want independence' or ... - well, I needn't go further.
  13. Isn't there a bit in 'Pride and Prejudice' where it says "The girls had reached the age when they longed for balls." Or something like that.

    Life In Prison

    No, it's a show trial, an opportunity to demonstrate that South Africa can deliver justice after a fair trial, even if the defendant is white rich and famous no matter who the defendant may be. Will they throw the book at him, but allow his bail to continue before sentencing so that he can abscond to Mozambique where his mega-rich family owns property and which has no extradition treaty with South Africa put his affairs in order before going to jail.

    Ebola and Other Viruses

    R.A is meticulous in compiling data, anybody that has been to a DL con can testify to that. His stats may well come to pass. He is currently dribbling at the prospect, nowt like being proved correct, aye. Is that one of the symptoms?
  24. I agree, the voice commentary sounded like station announcements. Or the old Speaking Clock. All the words recorded separately and strung together as required.
  25. nothing to see here, move on
