The BBC today apologised for keeping £106,000 made from premium-rate phone calls on about two dozen shows that should have been given to charity.In the latest scandal to hit the television industry over phone-ins, the BBC also admitted that viewers of Making Your Mind Up, the BBC1 show that chose last year's UK entry for the Eurovision song contest, Scooch, were misled into voting before phone lines had opened. In that case, the BBC made £6,000 from ineligible calls. The BBC Trust has also ordered the BBC to make an onscreen apology - the first time the corporation's governance and regulatory body has imposed such a sanction. Lyons said the issue involved the BBC Worldwide subsidiary Audiocall, which provides premium-rate phone lines to many BBC shows. He added that about two dozen shows had been affected between October 2005 and September 2007, although he refused to name them.
I detest BT
I detest Apple
I detest Call Centres
I detest automated customer service lines
I detest the automated 'please choose from the following options' recorded message
I detest the useless BT Home Hub which insists the handset is out of range when it is attached to the Hub
I detest companies that think on-line email forms are customer service
I detest companies that HANG UP on you rather than deal with ISSUES
I detest companies that deny their own existence
I detest banks who only have one phone that they leave off the hook so they can avoid dealing with the public
I love the fact that Madonna is about the fly over my home in her Helicopter ; ]

730 million are suffering
There is no need for it. None. So why do we all accept it?
In the beginning, there was paradise. BUT man, foolish man, wanted more out of life. SO, he bit the apple to become wise and there he stood naked and realized, that when he opened his eyes, he was still, REALLY blind.

This evening I began to feel really ill, my whole body started to tremble, no major convulsions to freak out over but enough to notice something was wrong. I remember being in the doctors surgery once as a child sitting on my mothers lap patiently waiting to see the G.P. I recall feeling the same warning signals. Shaking, blurred vision. dizziness and loss of balance. On that occasion I blacked out and fell to the floor straight out for the count. This time my legs started to buckle and I knew what was coming if I did not react fast. So I went to ground whilst I was still conscious and was thankful I had company just in case I did black-out. A similar thing happens if body sugar levels fall too much and I am guessing this was probably a mixture of the bread and water diet and a lack of sugar in my system. It seems that after 2 weeks the bodies reserves run low and so I guess this is the start of serious decline. Bread and water keeps you going for a few weeks but the body starts to suffer physically and mentally.
