BBC News last night on the Lord Sugar tweet that a press photo of the Senegal football team complete with a collection of sunglasses and handbags (?) in front of them, made them look like Spanish beach sellers. Incensed by this racial slur, the BBC sent a reporter to ring Lord Sugar's doorbell at his mansion with no reply. The reporter then made the comment that Lord Sugar was famous for his two word catchphrase before showing a clip from The Apprentice where "you are fired" was clearly uttered, (er, that's three words).
I vote Alan Sugar as a BBC governor. ;)

We were baling hay today, and we had a twister, spread hay, spiralling into the sky and being deposited into the freshly rowed up stuff. A very common sight when I was little, but probably because we made hay for weeks on end back then, not just an odd day.
Nipped off for the School run and returned with my 6 year old. First thing she wanted to do was hurdle jump the swaths. Oh to be that age again:rolleyes:
Memory lane well and truly visited today:)

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found
traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that
their anc...estors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the British, in the weeks that followed, an American
archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story
published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces of
250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an
advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the
British".

One week later, Australia's Northern Territory Times, reported the
following:

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tennant Creek, Northern
Territory, aboriginal Billi Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist, reported
that he found absolutely f**k-all.
Billi has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already
gone wireless..."

Makes me feel bloody proud to be Australian!

Oh, I'm just chasing the fairies

You have to use mummy's electric toothbrush to get them
"Oh right, where are the fairies?"
