        Indeed the Bolshevik Bullshite Corporation is not usually regarded as a newspaper. Although I would point out that this tax payer funded, multi-media, agit-prop agency is not above stooping to practice of putting ink on paper, perhaps you're not familiar with the Radio Times. I'll grant, that in and of itself, the RT is not a newspaper, certainly not one of record. However it is not without its fellow travellers. At least one of its sister agencies engagees regularly, in fact daily, in that filthy business of chopping down the forests so as to condemn the entire universe to ruin by carbonation; whilst condemning everyone else for doing the same. I'm speaking, in hushed tones in case their listening, of that paragon of PC - The (formerly Manchester) Malevolency. But back to your comment, I was not aware that I made any reference, directly, indirectly or by association to the Bighorn Bugling Choir. And, to my uncertain knowledge, they don't peddle their misinformation, and mystical incantations in प्राकृत, or any other language of that ilk, such as पाणिनि . Please explain where I went wrong, at birth is not a valid answer :)

          Unfortunately, the Radio Times isn't published by Auntie; it's independent of the Beeb. And it's Milligan, by the way, not Mulligan. Misspelling the name of such a genius comes pretty close to being unforgivable. I think I'll go back in time and talk to you parents -- just let me finish my meeting with Mr & Mrs Hitler, first.

            Thanks for pointing out the misspelling of Milligans name, I confess to the fact that it was cut & pasted from somewhere, I think it was The Spectator or perhaps The Telegraph. Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall, is here somewhere. This is what appears at the bottom of the Radio Times home page

            Sure looks like the Beeb to me, I suppose it could be another BBC, the Billionaire Boys Club, or maybe Russian Air Force. Anyway, why did you feel compelled to inform me that the BBC didn't publish newspapers in the first place. I don't think they had newspapers when Ashoka was making his mark, that's why he did all them inscriptions on rocks and on pillars in Prakrit, he had no bloody newspapers back then, but he did have the good fortune not to have to share the planet with the Boringly Bilious Confederation.

              Hmm. A Millugan/Milligun/Muggilan fan, and you don't get progressive punchlining?

                Whats worse is there are people who speak it. Yes, that's right, people actually sound out the abbreviations to make words, then use said words in conversation. As soon as those words end up in the dictionary, I'm moving and refusing to speak English ever again...

                I heard this song on the radio while I was helping my friend move: Trey Songz ft. Gucci Mane & Soulja Boy - "LOL Smiley Face"[^] (possibly some NSFW language) I was pretty disturbed.
