News items that are manufactured .
This morning the BBC led their news program with a survey that they themselves had commisioned 
Is this a reasonable way to spend licence payers money ? They should be reporting what has happend not making news themselves .

Champagne corks that will not budge! I've got a special tool for removing them and every now and then I still get one that needs the old 'tea towel and sturdy door' trick!

Noooooo! What a waste.
Eddie Irvine used to be my favourite F1 driver, purely because he always made sure he drank as much
