I've long been of the opinion that the BBC are a bunch of self-serving, well-heeled pinko farts.
Regrettablly, Paxman emdodies my views and has become a parody of himself, but since he trousers £1m a year, why should he care?

I watched an episode of Newsnight the other evening which was so obviously biased in favour of a studio guest (Caroline Lucas, M.P. Green Party) that I almost threw my cocoa at the box. Have a read of the link if you're remotely interested in the 'renewable-energy' debate.

Get in their Bob! Something else for me to join a rant about!

Jeremy Bloody Paxman has become a sad caricature of himself... it's really quite incredible to see how far his journalistic standards have slipped in recent years! He makes me swear at the telly (and that terrifies it!).

Why? Are you an orignal series fanatic who didn't like the new version.
I agree some of the storylines dragged on a bit, but the effects we excellent, characters had good depth and the ending was very good
Especially the spin off from the Cylons point of view.
I was very disappointed with Caprica though, it had so much potential and ended up just wandering around in someones head.

I though we were opening the old 'ban fracking' chestnut.

Since you don't actually appear to live there, you don't need to fret about it, now. Don't forget to use sun lotion, SP50 preferably.

With a comment like that, you could pass for a 'Newfie.'
(Newfies=Newfoundlanders. The Canadian mainlanders give 'em stick in much the same way as we do the Irish).
