    Dear BT, As you've been using my bill money to advertise how good BT Infinity is and to get customers to join BT, when can I have a better broadband connection than soggy rope?

    Every weekday morning an idiot sits in a library in Gateshead casting bizarre biased votes in the MotY poll. They will be sadly deflated when the results are announced to find they're not as clever as they thought they were.

      and to paraphrase/steal from Peter Kay, we'll no longer be able to get a bargain holiday "t'Egypt".... "booked it, packed it, f**ked off". Tbh though I didn't realise it was still on the go.
