"Readers.. this is a fundamental issue about the disgraceful treatment of a pensioner" "Ring this number to complain" Bugger.. the old fool won't play ball. What now? "Readers.. this is fundamental issue about how the BBC is run" "Ring this number to complain" "Ring this number if you're largely incapable of making you're own mind up about anything any need to be told what to get angry about (and why) on a daily basis by a self-serving press which is only too happy to oblige."

Boom titty boom titty That's all the young 'uns are interested in these days. I remember when this all used to be fields.

But Simon, it doesn't matter what that senile, incapable coffin-dodging pensioner thinks. He can't make his own mind up anyway, being old and all. Thank God we have a flock of forty thousand sheep on hand to set the idiot right. Baaaa...

.. and grateful

Should coincide nicely with the Satanic Sluts bid for a Christmas number one

Join us. You'll fit right in.

A bit like Harry Hill really.. his stand-up shows are blisteringly good (especially the small-gig 'material tryouts' he does) but TV peeps seem intent on shoehorning them both into a format supported by tv clip funnies. In the last-but-one Secret Policemen affair, Russ Brand (and The Boosh) were largely the only acts that made me laugh 'properly' at all.

"English comedian Russell Brand is said to have yelled 'Que' while he was in bed with Andrew Sachs' granddaughter Georgina Baillie. Baillie, 23, said that though he has a ladies' man reputation, he was a 'disappointment' in bed, the Sun reported"

Barbara Dickson

How about David Dickinson?

Russell Brand

The inquiry will probably cost the licencepayer half a million. That sort of money could pay for another six series of 'My Family'.

Basically, Messrs Ross and Brand screwed-up. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that. But surely it's up to the offended party to decide to what degree he's offended. Maybe Sachs finds all the '78 year old man' stuff more offensive than the event itself. I would.

I'm only 35 - so that would be fine. But a poor or crumbly pensioner? No - you're right! Send me the link from The Mail so I know how to complain.

Hmmm... Do the radio and television shows with a combined weekly audience in excess of twenty-five million feature in your somewhat one-sided value-for-money equation?

I can only assume that the bulk of the feeble-minded 18000+ drones who had nothing better to do than complain (on somebody else's behalf who seems only mildly irritated) are also the reason why 'My Family' is going to a ninth series. Sure, it was in poor taste and maybe it wasn't particularly funny, but if you remove all the people who potentially 'might' cause offence, all you're left with are the ten-bob Banana Cabaret jobbing comedians re-telling the same old men-and-women yawn-fests, week after week up and down the land. And no doubt 'Manuel' is delighted that the whole country knows his grand-daughter fronts-up the 'Satanic Sluts' instead of the handful of people who knew before (cringe).

Here you go, Jeremy

I'm loving it. I especially loved The Sun's contribution to the debate, up in arms at disrespectful treatment of 'Manuel' (ha ha) and then splashing a pic of the girl in question with her boobs half out and a call for the boys to resign.

The 'tarragon' swatch is not to my particular taste. At home, we have opted for a more subtle range of colours. The hallway is bottled quim 4, with rice pudding on the ceiling (from the 'Edwardian Desserts' selection). The lounge is angry mouse 2, except for the chimney breast wall (cleft palate 4). Upstairs is mostly shades from the bloater swatch - complimented by rancid wax (eggshell) on the half-panelling.

Personally, I think LuvPeckham would be wise to opt for 'night jewels 5' on all the walls except for the far wall - which we can accent with 'volcanic splash 3'. As for Jimbob, we might as well do all his walls black and the ceiling lime green - it seems he's not fussy.

Three and five, you say..?

eh voila

How about this one? Also a mere two shades out.
