The problem with being a news junkie is that sometimes the news is the same story repeated. Ad nauseum.

Charles and the horse have gone to Balmoral. I care because? This displaces every other news story in the country and the world because? It even took over the whole of Radio 4 FM this afternoon, they 'split' the service, the regular schedule was long wave only.

I don't have a long wave radio; why not let the minority interest wedding be on the hard to receive frequency so I can listn to what I want to in peace?

it's 0012. It's still the only story the Beeb has covered int he midnight news. y'know,t he main news brodcast of the day.

I don't care! Leave me alone!

In other news, service in the local Orange store is tops; my new Motorola is charging as I type. New contract too; free texts might mean I try to keep in touch with people...

p.s. as 0012 finishes, it goes on to the news about Longbridge; I don't care, but at least it'e real news.
