What will happen if, instead of downloading an upgrade, they upload a downgrade? 
Or sideload a lateralgrade.
Or futureload a pastgrade?

It's all a fix isn't it? The only reason this new chap is now top 
at the beeb is 'cos he's got a beard isn't it?
"badgers versus brushes" & all that.

Well, absolutely. We don't want people who shave.
I can't speak for new-boy Paully, but Jimster had a good goatee last I saw him, and I'm told that Natalie waxes.
