Default 6 Music débâcle

Reminds me a bit of the Heinz Salad Cream affair from a few years back when they announced it would be discontinued to public outcry and increased sales. The apparently now to be saved 6 Music's listening figures have gone up from around 600,000 a week to around a million. Another cunning stunt? Shaun Keaveny is a welcome antidote to Evans in the morning mind!

i'm just loving your accentage on 'debacle', although my favourite foreign looking word is 'Naïve' (note the 2 dots over the i).

Oh yes, and the two dots over the "i" is an "umlaut." Nothing wrong with an umlaut. I've always liked an umlaut. I always check when encountering a Chloë or a Zoë whether they are umlauted or perhaps incorporate the accute accent (Chloé or Zoé). Some people go completely mental and don't use either!

But at least they're getting rid of the Asian network. Rightly so too. It was racist. Only for Asian? Where was the White Network to equalize it up?
