| 356401 | 2005-05-19 10:46:00 | Actually I was quite surprised when I first heard that the Pongolians were going to purchase the same graphics as TV3 - whilst we watch TV3 News rather than be subjected to the manipulative delivery of the so-called "Mother of the Nation" (and get constantly reminded about her obscene salary), I think the TV1 weather is far better . So are the weather presenters . TV3 Toni's high uplift warm front (courtesy of Wonderbra?) sometimes obscures the weather information I am interested in! :stare: Pongolians?? :lol: Mother Judy - since I heard about her $800k, she doesn't seem as good to me anymore . :rolleyes: Toni - wins the best fashion on TV, imho, but yep, we guys can miss the weather that she is presenting! :D To be honest, I am a channel changer, much to my wife's annoyance, so (if I can get away with it) I will watch both TV1 and TV3 news, after Prime 5 . 30 News that I tape and FFWD-view . :nerd: |

| 356405 | 2005-05-20 04:57:00 | Here is a link news.bbc.co.uk The view has England in the foreground with Scotland tapering away towards the North Pole. I'm in full agreement with the Scots. :thumbs: |

Watch the video linked on that page where an Aunty BBC presenter "showcases" the new system, and catch the irony - she is Scottish, with a delightful accent! |

| 356407 | 2005-05-20 07:08:00 | As Flanders and Swan so succinctly put it,I think they have it right. The Scotsman is mean as we're all well aware He's boney and blotchy and covered with hair He eats salty porridge, he works all the day And hasn't got bishops to show him the way. |

I wonder if Galloway will rip into the BBC over this matter, like he did with the Yanks? :eek: :) George Galloway had vowed to give US senators "both barrels" and after sitting - coiled - through an hour-and-half of testimony against him, he unloaded all his ammunition.

Read more here ( . bbc . co . uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4553601 . stm" target="_blank">news . bbc . co . uk) I thought Galloway was great, about time the Republicans were told what is what without any pussyfooting around :thumbs: The BBC can alter and customise the weather graphics in many ways as I read it . The video clip showed a bit of fly-over Ireland, surely they do a fly over Scotland when talking about the weather there? If not, the Scots have a point, if yes, then el tougho, after all if they choose to live up near the North Pole what else can they expect? ;) I'm also sure that the BBC could split the graphics up to show the south upto a line Birmingham to the Wash, or preferably the Scottish border, and then Scotland separately , as TV3 does with the north and south islands . Edit: Let's have a tune, Jack Hylton Singing in the Rain ( . petefaint . co . uk/jackhylton/singinintherain . ram" target="_blank">www . petefaint . co . uk), 1929 . Edit again: That's an idea for a Hot Tunes Of The Month, weather related tunes from the 1920s/30s :cool: |
