Ekmek var mı?

Posted by: Sally on: February 8, 2009

There’s a programme on about Turkey this evening.  Very excited about watching it as I have become quite obsessed with Turkey recently, and have a growing desire to live there one day.

I heard that Christian Bale’s rant at a crew member on the film set of Terminator Salvation was accidentally shown in full on BBC Breakfast on Friday morning.  (BTW, what a rude tosser he is!).  The offending words were supposed to have been bleeped out but were accidentally left in, I had heard.

… John Sergeant has quit Strictly Come Dancing! 

Actually, I’m sure you don’t need to be told, because the BBC has been banging on about it all day.
Five whole minutes on the the Six O’Clock News, and about five or ten minutes every hour or so on News 24.  And at the moment, it’s news [...]
