    I hate slow news days. Nothing seems to make a day go slower than reading stuff like http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-11148527.

    "The sign for Cotswold Airport on the A429 near Cirencester gets the "s" and the "w" the wrong way round."

    ""We are grateful for the signs but we're hoping this one will be put right as soon as possible.""

    I mean, WOW.

    I think the first and last letters have to be in the right place. The ones in the middle can be jumbled up. I "think" this as i cant read your comment....

    NEWS ALERT!!

    THERE IS NO NEWS. Tiaoseach, Brian Cowen had this to say.

    Brian Cowen: "Well Its a great tradegy, but I'm confident the Irish people will rise above this and prosper from what we have lost."
    Reporter: but whats your opinion on the slow news day?
    Brian Cowen:...................I'm sorry whats the question?

    The Tiaoseach went on to say: "eh..oh its just *pant* we....er uh economy oh uh neh feh."
    We don't know what the concequences of this slow news day will be, but rest assured, the government will make sure it effects the public sector"


    Some eejit with a terrible haircut,
    RTE News
    Dublin Castle...
