    The Jump... C4 winter sports/reality competition.

    just watching "The Jump" on Channel 4. Any other goaters watching it? I think it's alright as a program (OK, it's full of Z listers, but much better than Big Brother)... However there's one question that keeps coming up in regards to one of the competitors. John-Allen Butterworth, former RAF...

    Breaking the political cycle...?

    During the thread about the French ban of the Niqab being upheld by the ECHR, someone brought up a point that I thought was worthy of a separate thread. They stated that "No political party cares about doing anything other than getting another term in office" and that there are people who...

If I had stayed until the very last day, my last day of...

    Was John Peel at it as well?

    According to this linky, John Peel had an affair with a 15 year old in the 1960's. I know the 60's were meant to be about 'Free Love' and all that... but the way it's going, you'd think that the BBC HQ in the 60's was a den of iniquity! Following the revelations about Savile and now John Peel...
