Can we put the politicians on the roof of the Red Road flats for the blow down. That I would pay to see. Nice idea, but we're tallking Looney Tunes here. They'll stay there in mid air while the flats collapse underneath them. Dastardly and Mutley will happen along and give them a ride to a nearby a...

Octavias pull up outside my flat all day long. Disiesels. Rattle-chatter-rattle-chatter...

Toot toot!

The last time any broadcast had my full and undivided attention was the first episode of "Sherlock". Meades manages a whole episode and a half before uttering "unprecedented" - and then in its proper meaning. I couldn't tell you when I last had to watch anything with a dictionary...
