Jonathan Ross didn't resign
Chris Evans didn't start a new show.

Good grief the news department must have had to leave the building to research their lead story.

There must have been something about all this snow being caused by Global Warming, or just something about Global Warming.

Nothing needs to happen at BBC news. They just need to talk about something for 38 seconds, show a looped bit of library footage, and move on before we notice they have no information about it. To CODA.

The dullest writing on any magazine is the text on a contents page. Neil Tennant used to work on Smash Hits, after he'd made it big with The Pet Shop Boys he guest-edited an issue of the magazine. One of his comments in the contents page was that he'd forgotten how dull it was writing the contens page.
