“There could be another one all about sport, and another one all about weather. Then they could put them all on, one after the other, in quick succession, using the same presenters.”

I made contact with Sky about this idea, and they have commissioned me to make a news program following your format. I was down to my last penny, not even enough for a tin of cheap cider, so thank you Nelson. I have made one change, in that the presenters will have a specialism in the subject that they are to talk about, eg. A weather presenter is actually a meteorologist.

“ The term ‘anorak’ conjures up images of men who expose themselves in long trench coats and it is unfair to label people with train sets in this way.”

Thankfully I’d just finished drinking my tea when I read this.

For me the term ‘anorak’ conjures up images of people with train sets, still traumatised by past experiences with men in long trench coats, who phone up the BBC to complain instead of seeking therapy.

@Ann: I doubt there was any coffee cup trauma, she’s probably just a neurotic bitch and nagging her own husband to death about cups on tables just wasn’t enough.

Can I recommend a title for the murder-related programme? Perhaps something catchy, like “crimewatch”?

To me the term “bomber jackets” conjures images of swarthy-faced young gentlemen with bulging pockets climbing aboard public transports with ill deed in mind. I blame the immigrants.

If there’s one thing that Gordon Clown and Nu Liar-blair need to sort out it’s violent crime.

I mean, it’s just ruining my otherwise enjoyable news programmes.

So if Dr Who DOES have an episode featuring some old vinyl played on a record player in the Tardis will there be roysalties issued to this particular caller?

I’d prefer an episeode where Dr Who went back in time and corrected our measurements of temperature into groats or whatever they were before celcius.

Celsius is utter nonsense. Give us the good old British Kelvin.

Jennie Bond probably uses the term ‘anorak’ because seeing how cash in the attic is a daytime show she can’t call them, ’sad old cunts who are probably kiddie fiddlers that still live at home’

“Brilliant idea! There could be another one all about sport, and another one all about weather. Then they could put them all on, one after the other, in quick succession, using the same presenters.”

As usual Nelson, you’ve totally missed the entirely valid point being made by the gent (I said gent) in question.

We need an entirely seperate programme, one solely devoted to violent crime, so that it doesn’t impinge on the delicate sensibilities of those who don’t want to know about it. A kind of ‘watch’ over crime, or perhaps a ‘crime-watch’, if you will. This will naturally lead to all references to violent crime magically disappearing from our news broadcasts. And the world will seem safe again.
