The Beeb
Did anybody else cry when they heard the BBC Czech service (scheduled to be axed in March) had found an investor?
Not that I begrudge the reporters their jobs, just that I had been looking forward to the "all English all the time" format I figured would have to kick in once the Czech service ended.
I thought I'd be able to hear English news when I really want to listen to news -- at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now I'm wondering if we'll lose the World Service altogether.
And everything had been shaping up so nicely -- they'd even canceled Westway.*
*Westway, for those who don't know it, was a soap opera set in a health clinic. It followed the trials and tribulations of patients and doctors alike and was about as entertaining as having a boil lanced.

mary, in response to your desire for an 'all english, all the time' format, let me remind you of the content you would have to look forward to:
blackmoor prancers one, dickletown nil
middlesex half-queens one, dental dams nil
i thought you were going to say 'you can always go back where you came from.'
that's the response i usually get when i complain about anything czech.
and speaking of 'queen' did you notice the 'queen on ice' show that's coming? i thought freddy mercury was the only one of them on ice.
