Yeah, it's very annoying and surely now after three months or so anyone who wants titles would have got them.


They even get the spot when there aren't any other ads scheduled, so we get a 20-second break with just the one ad.


That's a TV pres fan typo if ever I saw one! I find I do the same thing with 'form' - I always end up typing 'forum' because I spend so much time on here!

On the subject of that advert, surely the official sponsor of ITV National Weather must be a bit annoyed that Topps Tiles are getting a regular spot despite not being the official sponsor?


Am I the only one who remembers the topps tiles one more than the esure, especially as not only do they have a jingle, but because it comes after the esure, the topps tiles rounds up the weather in a way. But the tiles do have the better design for an advert set, it sells the product, it uses the product, and has a catchy tune. In a way sheila's wheels was better than the current esure ones.

Is there a part of the weather sponsership contract that says that the sponsership bumpers must represent the weather in some form, or is it just the personal choice of the company?

I like the Points of View style of reporting the judge's verdict on the Heather Mills McCartney case - all the more dramatic.

That said, she's a deluded sour ****** beep beep beep ** Evil or Very Mad

They didn't have that as the top story did they?

I think it was top story yes. Typically.

I wish, like many others, she'd just leave the country and bury her head in the sand (or leg..).

As much as I hate the "story", the BBC did also lead with it at 6.00pm.

why shouldn't it be top story?

Because it leaves nothing for Heat magazine to cover.

The world in a financial crisis is a far more important issue than Heather Bills imo.

In todays Telegraph:

"While Prince Harry returned from Afghanistan none the worse for wear, the ITN anchorman Mark Austin hasn't been so lucky.

The affable journalist's two-week tour of duty in the troubled region - hot during the day and cold during the night - resulted in him contracting pneumonia.

"I had tests in hospital and that is the diagnosis, but I will be back soon," wheezes Austin from his sick bed. He adds dolefully that he has had "no sympathy at all" from his wife, Catherine, an A&E doctor."

Thought he sounded rough when he did NaT when he first came back, he sniffed all the way through it!

Well, he is back on NaT tonight with Mary.

I had the great misfortune to watch today's Lunchtime news on ITV1; I never watch ITV News nowadays. Producers must have known that even the largest cretins out of the pile of losers and human waste that is their target audience might have been a little confused when their report into Britain's newest Planetarium wasn't even named...the ugly presenters and the bizarre reporter failed to give the name of the new museum and its location; key faacts in any report, surely?

There were other little niggles during the ''bulletin'' but, as I allude to, most of the benefit-stealing, broken men and women without a qualification to even wipe their arses with, wouldn't have noticed these.

An utterly unimpressive network. I actually felt my IQ dropping ten points for every minute I sat through ITV's adult-newsround.
