Hmm, Vendor got this news from the NY times, and not the BBC

I wonder why

I mean who watches it's endless repeats of Rab C. Nesbitt?

I saw Rab C. with English subtitles once, the subtitles were certainly not the same as what was being said in english

This sucks. I use BBC as a primary news source, as they seem to keep up with the world and not the Kardashians like the US garbage news.

Oh well, as long as they keep the reruns of;
As Time Goes By
Waiting For God
on the air (the only Brit humor I've ever understood)

and Parkinson's interviews, the rest can go away.

Whereas if it's just going to be repeats of Eastenders then they can go take a flying...!

Vendor News is well worth watching (I'll not use your christian name) F

Not many famous people live there (S. Shields if a squillion people have posted recently) at all, there have been a few notable 'born theres' like Frank Williams, Cheryl Cole, Eric Idle, Ridley Scott, and the only two I can think that would possibly still live there are Joe McElderry (and he's not been given the right stuff to sing!) and the hilariously funny Sarah Milican.

Jim's not famous, Jim's infamous!

Joe is a personal friend of my bot...no further comment.

I that US news sucks @ss, hell Al Jezeera is better.

BBC America/Law & Order UK/BG/X-Files I'm suddenly interested in this new FIOS thing I got this week. Makes that pipe they hit drilling thru my wall easier to swallow. LOL BBC news too! Glad I happened upon this thread or I might have never noticed.

For twenty years on Saturday nights, the local PBS station in the Tacoma area has been running the original 1963-1989 run of Doctor Who in sequence, over and over again. Local aficionados keep sending them the money to keep it on the air somehow.

I imagine those Tardis key chains they get as a token gift must be piling pretty high in the drawers and cabinets.

That being said I wish they'd spring for some of the newer episodes.
