I can remember the one Richard & Judy did a few years ago where they had a guy on who had invented a dictaphone that you talk into in English and it translates what you said into any language and plays it back to you! Lol!

Some breaking news for you now on TV Forum, MySpace TV are reporting that Osama Bin Laden has been found. We'll bring you more on that story as it unfolds.

Someone please tell me Metropol newly emerged secret forum is a fool. I sure it is, but it just worries me that new posts are appearing inside.

For part of this morning a sub-forum entitled Secret Forum was visible, with the last post date & name present on the right (no thread titles). Upon clicking to enter the forum a PHPBB screen informed you that you didn't have permission to view the forum. It wasn't there first thing this morning (or at least I don't think so), and it is no longer visible now. The URL was f=10 and whereas the page was saying "The Secret Forum" as the header it's reverted to a more default 'Information' header.

Yeah, haha, not been that many online this morning, but some else must have seen it. It had 26 topics, 1600+ replys, last post was by Square Eyes yesterday, there was another today can remember by who though.

Not a TV news item I'm sorry - but worth a mention perhaps.

This email came out from Pizza Hut today:

The American Pizza Hut is now "Pasta Hut".

And I don't know if this has been mentioned, but The Daily Express ran a story in todays paper saying that Big Ben was going under repair again, and for the meantime a digital clock would stay in its place.
