Adrian Chiles is one of the few TV presenters I would happily leave my children with for the day. If I had children, that is.

Awp. Should probably not have said anything but.... what first took me aback with CT's original remark (APART FROM THE OBV)

oops tab enter

Awp. Should probably not have said anything but.... what first took me aback with CT's original remark (APART FROM THE OBV) was that apart from CT not yet having entered the post-colonial age apparently -- -- -- Tsonga? Wtf. It seems way unlikely. Dude is a BLOCK of a man, not at all ragdolly! Gael Force at least has spiky comicbook hair. Hence I found that story more credible.

Sprinter Dwain Chambers is to make a formal complaint to the BBC after he was the victim of an abusive prank call by the comedian Iain Lee during a phone-in on Radio 5 Live. Lee, who appears regularly on BBC1's One Show, rang a phone-in hosted by Victoria Derbyshire on Monday and, posing as a member of the public called 'Tony', accused Chambers, who served a two-year ban for taking performance-enhancing drugs, of being "whacked up to the eyeballs on goof balls".

Encouraged by Derbyshire to air his strident views, 'Tony' then subjected the sprinter to a vitriolic rant, referring to the "goof balls and whack balls" he put into his bloodstream and finishing with the statement: "I'm going to buy your book and I'm going to burn your book without reading it."

I do wonder on whose side the Daily Mail crew will be on that last one. Will they be able to pass up another chance to have a go at the Beeb's lax standards, or will they want to go for the throat of a notorious drug cheat who possesses the wrong colour of skin for their tastes?

That's what you'd call a real ethical dilemma for them. It would almost be entertaining to watch them wrestle with it.

Never mind that the tactics they used to destroy The One Show’s reporter Carol Thatcher were reminiscent of the old East German Stasi, under whose rule people who refused to do and say what they were told were destroyed.

Brilliance, just absolute brilliance.

six months pass...

An administrative blunder under the Thatcher government that has only just come to light has opened the door for retailers to sell unauthorised DVDs and video games, including banned films and pornography, to anyone, including under-age children without legal threat.

The Crown Prosecution Service has been told to drop cases relating to offences under the Video Recordings Act, which imposes statutory requirements for videos, DVDs and some video games to be classified and age-rated by the British Board of Film Classification.

The Conservative government’s apparent failure to notify the European Union of the existence of the VRA in 1984 means that the legislation is no longer enforceable in the UK.

We already have a perfectly workable system in place whereby 7 year-olds just tell their parents to buy GTA for them in Gamestation.

Wow, can't wait to hit Dixons or Woolworths and stock up on some banned VHS tapes now.

"This must be a massive embarrassment to the Tories, especially as David Cameron was the special adviser to the home secretary in 1993 when the law was amended."

Yeah right. Because Cameron has shown real signs of being electorally hindered by everything the Tories did in the 80s and 90s.
