Tits v T*ts

Of all the papers, The Sun goes all coy when it comes to the BBC3 program 'Tittybangbang'. It blushingly prints 'T*ttybanbang' in the TV schedules.

The Coast Road

I'm reading The Coast Road by Paul Gogarty. It's borrowed from the library and contains the scribbled thoughts of a fellow lender in the margins...

Page 5
- Gogarty says: "There are more castles in Kent than in any other country"
- Scribbler says: "Cumberland and Northumberland?"

Page 16
- Gogarty says: "A sliver of new moon is rising"
- Scribbler says: "The new moon sets"

... Why would someone do this?

Gareth Southgate = Freddy Mercury

Isn't Daniel Corbett great?

CorbettDaniel Corbett -- look at those teeth. He'd make a great Dracula. is one of the most unique weather forecasters on the telly. He has his own style of describing the weather, often remarking on what it is good for (eg, "having a picnic", "taking the doggie for a walk").

Verdict: Almost as good as Kaddy Lee-Preston.
