As I was saying on the other site, surely an actual rota spreadsheet would be a better system for this sort of chat? I mean its so inefficient on a forum given all the "can you tell me who was presenting during xx" as with a spreadsheet or a wiki you could see the gaps and fill it in nicely.

Actually when I return from my trip to the shops I shall make a wiki just to prove this point.

there is also a thread on graphics, but they don't meticulously note down what every single aston had written on them in it. it's called "writing about interesting things that aren't boring, even if they are related to the topic in hand"

And I am doing that wiki AS WE SPEAK btw. For anyone who doubts my desire to drive the megabores off the... er... serve the rota enjoying community better.

Not so much as a morsel of *meaningful* information or critique or observation beyond that which can be gleaned from a TV guide.

If contributions of such a flimsy and dry nature are sought by members I would refer them to a reference library.

More extracts from Kay Burley's steamy novel, if you can stomach it:

The Grauniad having fun with this one, and who can blame them?

Sarah Hughes just got first billing in "Sarah Hughes, Andrew Wilson and Jeremy Thompson". Shocked

And a review from regular Sky News contributor Zoe Williams, plus Chris Bryant MP who famously lambasted Kay in a recent Afternoon Live appearance:

Not too favourable. I would suggest she stick to the day job, but err... Well, you know.

Was Kay Burley in Tobruk for the launch of her book?
