There is a strong sense of deja vu about this. I recall during the previous spat in the Gulf, waking up hungover and being left with nothing to do but watch Channel 4's early morning coverage of the events. Very sad that, in spite of the seriousness of all that was happening (not to mention the baby-faced "experts" on all things military that were pushed in front of the camera), all I can recall is staring for ages at the anchor-woman's fine balcony. Sarah something or other.

must get very boring on that R:ise.

[Caractacus]

These were in the good old days, JJ, before all night-telly, before even The Big Breakfast and that red-headed twat Evans. What is this R:ise of which people speak??

Whomsoever he be, I fear he must needs control his cholesterol intake if he wishes still to be with us come the Feast of Stephen.......

I don't watch it as some weeks I'm at when its on, other weeks I'm in bed when its on. I just read the NGs where viewers cap the totty - used to be a lot of Kirsty in the 'cold' studio )

Has Lizard been doctoring your tea again??

[jj]

Alas, Good Sir the King, I fear Milord Reptile has other fishes a-frying presently....and may I humbly ask how goes it with the caitiff Romans?
Trust not the Brigant queen.........I fear She plans to use you treacherously this day......

[Caractacus]

Just as long as I end up with a pension and a fine Roman villa, that's fine with me, ii

Going slightly back on topic on this off topic forum, what's going on with ITN? Angela Rippon, Anne Leuchars---they'll be dragging Alistair Burnett out of retirement next, or digging up Reggie Bosanquet.

Perfered The Big Breakfast when Gabby Roslin was on it. Missed the spell of Denise Van Outen though (shame).
