Great, this means even more expensive license fee for my colour HD telly I have at home....

I thought Broadband was only thing that was causing an expensive license....

What are they thinking of doing next? An ident that Smells for my Telly?

(although, I have been thinking about inventing HD smell-o-vision...)

Okay, tried smelling the screen, just watched the Coffee Ident on BBC Two site, and it does smell like a local coffee shop......

On BBC One, the hippo ident smells like deep lake in middle of Africa....

Life on Mars clips, it smells like 1970's Manchester filled with Cigarettes, feels like being in the Smoke Room....

Doctor Who site, boy I do not want to smell the Daleks again...

Great, the only day where I trust nothing on the news or what anyone says. Lucky it's fallen on a Sunday, fairly unlucky this month contains a Friday the 13th.

I thought the TISP pages were really good. They've even populated the forum on Google site for it. Whether these posts are genuine or not is anybody's guess.

Also from Google this year:

In Celebs on Sunday (Free in The People) it says when Tony Blair leaves being prime minister he will take up full time acting. Smile

It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "hook, line and sinker"! Laughing
