I'm blowing the airport sky high

Actually, that was just one part of the tweet which landed Paul Chambers in the dock at Doncaster Magistrates Court.

“You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high.”

The Yorkshireman’s issue with the airport was the snow. Lets face it, after the last three [...]

So the man who ran Eurostar at the time it had problems with trains breaking down in the snow is to become the vice Chairman. ITV News caught up with the man.

Still a hypocrite…

Cameron again.

Jargon busting one step at a time

When I heard that Councillor Eaton, chairman of the Local Government Association, had drawn up a list of over 200 words which council employees shouldn’t use, I knew the list would be too long to be manageable.

Then I read some of the ‘translations’ of jargon into ‘plain English’.

Most of the words I would [...]

Newsreaders have a sex change…

Meanwhile, elsewhere on BBC News, Daniel Corbett says the weather in Kent is localised and cold…

The BBC axe Thatcher over goliwogs – Tebbit knows why

The article is from the Mail Online – with the laughable headline “BBC axed Carol Thatcher after golliwog joke ‘to take revenge on her mother’, claims Tebbit“.

“It seems very odd that Ross can be back broadcasting having made obscene, insulting remarks on the air, and Carol Thatcher, who said something which is allegedly highly [...]
