Iraq and Ozymandias 01:47am on 03 Mar 2009 The modern "works" at which any reasonable person might "despair" are not wasteland, sad to say. They are too visible as shattered buildings, shattered lives, shattered economies ...

Magazine on Twitter 06:20am on 03 Dec 2008 Chaps and chapettes:
If the Beeb can invent words like "magazineyness" it certainly can invent its own grammar.

Anyway, here in America we haven't spoken it for years. :-)

Science and Entertainment changes 09:00am on 15 Oct 2008 4, jon:
Good point, except to carry it to the end we would have one "Everything" section. (Or perhaps, "Life, The Universe ..." ?)
The current controversy, as I watch it, involves politicos and scientists, so making a story an "Environment" item makes sense either way. And the collider isn't without its own political aspect: Big Science involves Big Costs, to be paid by Little Taxpayers, who often object. (Luddites! Off with their heads!)
Also, I've noticed that a science story will often appear in a regional section where applicable, but linking to it takes one to the science section. Good website design; problem solved (usually).

First anniversary 06:16am on 12 Oct 2008 Ahhh ... Katty Kay ... Yes ...

The last I saw of her she had been hitched to the McCain circus during the primaries. Given his predilection for younger blondes, have you thought of checking in on her?

P.S. I like the show; much better than anything on TV except some of the PBS stuff.
The calm after the storm 08:51am on 10 Oct 2008 Declan Curry! I thought I recognized the name!
We used to see your business reporting from London on one of our network news programs in the US. (CBS late-night, I believe.)
Wherever did you go? Oh, of course- to Working Lunch. :-)
Is there still an omnibus count under your broadcasts?

Something new 08:45am on 10 Oct 2008 Very nice! Here in the US, with Internet available, I get my US news from BBC and CNN, my local news from the newspaper, and my world news from the BBC, mainly.
I hardly watch TV news any more, and was happy to discover BBC World News on my local PBS station some time ago.
I wasn't aware of the increased coverage. Are all PBS stations picking it up?

I notice references to "censoring" of news before it gets to the US. Is that really a concern? I've seen, for example, documentaries on the oppression [the correct word] of Palestinians by the Israeli government. And it's all available on the 'Net. Trust me, cousins- I'm all right. :-)
