You've been very lucky not to see it. Usually it is on after News At Ten, but it's also on the "other" channels such as Dave. Please teach me your secret in how to avoid it -other than of course switching off the TV.

Buses were crazily busy and setting off even earlier than normal hasn't done much for my tiredness but hey, could be worse. I'll bounce back after a good night's sleep at the weekend and, as a bonus, my house isn't flooded.

It's only going to get worse. Bob Crow's determined to have a showdown as the clock ticks towards the next general election. All he'll end up doing is cementing Boris' rise to be next Tory leader/PM - that guy's very good at playing the buffoon to make sure his opponents always underestimate him.

The flooding down in the West Country looks horrifying.

By sacking a bunch of staff, not only those working on the current iteration of the franchise, but also those who were meant to be making the next version? Super! And what about the fans? Don't forget all the players who have enjoyed and, to put it in terms that you will understand, paid for the game for the last 14 years! Hmmmm, why not offer them a free stuff pack, perhaps one that many of them paid for ages ago so it's not a treat. Yes! And then for those who don't already own it, why not continue in fine Sims tradition and fudge up the download mechanism so they cannot claim their prize. Perfection!

If the cake is a lie you can screw the truth, that's what I always say.

I was at the dentist yesterday, & saw the stupidest programme in the world. It was called Born & Bred, & it involved the following.

This guy




dumped this girl




in order that he (in the middle of the picture below) could date the following girl on the left instead.




Yeah - can just see THAT happening! Although most of the locals were so weird on the show perhaps it wasn't as far fetched as I thought, they ought to have called the show Born & Inbred.
