This is possibly the greatest event ever to occur in broadcasting history.

I shall now go out and buy knitwear based on hers and then stare into people's windows before totally overreacting when asked to move.

Who did the Breakfast bulletin just before 8.30 this morning? I turned on and am sure I saw someone different but then at 8.55 it was Kay with just weather and travel. Razz

Ah well that's OK then.

I shall also rate it fab *HOWEVER*. I am most upset at the random knitwear woman section not including her funny walk at the end.

I expect massive internal review leading to huge job cuts and the relocation of large parts of Birmingham to Manchester after this outrage.

i have to say ashley was wearing a TRAGIC outfit tonight on the 23:10. a black jacket and tie with a brown shirt. what was he thinking. he looked like he had been dressed in one of those christmas time soup kitchens which get donated all the stuff that primark couldn't off load onto tk maxx. i'm sorry, but i do not want my regional news delivered to me by someone who looks like he should be sat on a park bench with a bottle of white lightening.

i am going to tell raymond snoddy about this.

ROFL well they are the most awkward doors i have ever seen. swiping a pass, then getting into the compartment, and then shuffling your feet because it goes so slowly is quite difficult. why cant they just have normal doors Confused
