going off-topic here, but you'll be laughed out of any web design job if you turn up saying you can use FrontPage and Powerpoint


You'd be surprised, it is actually used by some parts of the Beeb on websites, mostly internal intranet sites though...

BREAKING NEWS: According to Harry, who presented the 3.22pm update, Penny Bustin is presenting tonight's Look North at 6.25pm!

Anyone know if this is true? I really hope it is....

Something tells me this has probably been discussed before, but where did she disappear to?

Studying IIRC, and returned via one of those regions down south that we don't talk about*

Didn't she work for one of the health trusts - South Yorkshire or something?

Sad to say, but you wouldn't last five minutes in the workplace. Shape up girl and stop running to teacher.

I wouldn't be so quick and eager to judge my hardiness huddy; given all my difficulties, epilepsy and all, I am as tenacious as a bit of chewing gum on a town centre paving slab, or the dry bits of Weetabix that affix themselves onto the side of the cereal bowl when dried!

I suggest a dishwasher or different cleaning standards in the Kat house.

If you are so hardy, why do you ask the mods to ban everybody and not fight for yourself?

Oh, by the way, Penny Bustin use to work for YTV circa 1987/8.

Some Radio Leeds updates for those that care...

There's generic Weather and Sport stings used at the weekend that just say 'BBC Radio Leeds Satellite Weather' with no names and then some random bloke reads the weather out.

With the weather no doubt coming from outside the BBC and the travel probably coming from Trafficlink or someone its still very much mind the gap-ish at weekends, the entire travel bulletin in the headlines seems even worse.

And interestingly the jingle for 'Flashback with Georgey Spanswick' says 'Yesterday's West Yorkshire - BBC Radio Leeds'!

Oh and yes as someone said, playing music during Drivetime with Darragh Corcoran does seem strange. There seems to be a rule now on Radio Leeds that a record is played at the start of every programme, so its 10 past by the time the presenter starts their show proper.

I agree. Jesus is a ludicrous name.

I believe it comes from whatever passes for the regional weather centre these days
