Well its not like when Jade Goody died is it? Get a sense of perspective! Link to the appropriate post note who it is by, another rota cretin.

That's a dreadful post. It should have been more along the lines of.

Well Annita McNaught wore her fetching yellow number on Wednesday the 5th, so the news could have started on the 3rd, however Alistair (for it is he, and he needs no second name as I'm such good chums with him) was "pregnant" at the time. I know this because I raked through his bin that night, so maybe it wasn't until after that...

Good to see the homework thread it closed. Although apparently because it had become a discussion about its worth on the board rather than the subject in hand. It's times like that I wish I'd not turned off the rolling eye emoticon.

Just tact really, isn't it?

Pardon my, now regular, iPub rant last night.

Last week it was, "apple customer service hell", this week it's, "tv forum fail - off with their heads". It could so easily have been about anything else.

I've withdrawn the particularly belligerent closing paragraph, and I apologise to all for any unpleasantness. Its only a forum for gawdsake.

Good evening.

I hope someone recorded it! That has to be the first time they've ever done a standing TOTH and my goodness it looked so much better!

That has to be the strangest thing I've read in a long time. Somebody nearly passing out because BBC News did a standing TOTH.

I wouldn't like to see him when they start walking around the studio.

tsk at you beating me to it, was just about to post about Worzel's insanity.

I wonder if he's Tumble Dryer's brother.

At the post or at Maxine standing?

btw if anyone could please tell me what Worzel has brought to the forum except for comments about standing up and the screens I'd be very interested.

The post of course

Maybe it's because Emily Maitlis was sitting down for the BBC1 bulletin a few minutes before and they didn't have the time to put Maxine back into the chair?

Normally though they'd frame the presenter so it looks like they're not standing up, but it was a full body shot.

I feel this level of drivel needs kept for posterity. My favourite part is the idea that BBC News presenters have to have their legs attached and removed according to whether or not they are seated. It would certainly explain the reason they don't stand up as often.

Don't forget the immortal hippy shakes!

He's edited his post now to include the ":P"/"Razz" smiley to make people think he is just joking.
