Bless him. And the total disruption his cuteness has wrought on the office this week ;-)

"Daily Telegraph columnist and former editor Charles Moore is billed to appear on BBC Radio 4's Any Questions? tonight - despite his refusal to pay the licence fee". Let's hope he can avoid costing the BBC any more in libel damages whilst he's at it, eh?

"The ties are to be played over two legs on 20 and 27 August 2009, but as Shakhtar, as winners of the 2008/09 UEFA Cup, are due to play the UEFA Super Cup match in Monaco on 28 August against FC Barcelona, UEFA has decided the second leg of their UEFA Europa League play-off will take place on Tuesday 25 August (before 18.00 hours CET), irrespective of their opponents and of the match venue (home or away)". That *is* very kind and considerate of UEFA.

Bookmarked for the title alone.

"Perhaps Murdoch is simply quitting a game that he’s losing. The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Daily Mail have consistently dominated the UK ABCes. Why not play a different game altogether?"

Pure bookworms need not apply.

"Even the MediaGuardian seems a bit confused as to if the 6Music and BBC Radio 7 audience figures are terrible - which the three month drop suggests - or great, as the year-on-year growth would say. Really, it might just say that Rajar isn't any good at counting digital audiences."
