"Blue sky thinking" and "Out of the box" are no longer politically correct. The former being atmospherist and the latter being storagist. Please could you refrain from using such phrases.

Sorry you can't use brainstorming anymore. It upsets epileptics. You need to use "thought shower".

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Sorry the word "though" and related terms like "think", "reason", "investigate" are now deemed dangerous by the "Reelect Our Beloved Gordon" committee.
Gordon is great and wise, please simply watch your television and leave the running of the country to him.

Murphy's Law dictates that this will be the week when all of the really exciting things happen on VM TV and you won't be around to report on them! 
We'll probably get five HD channels, widescreen on every channel, Demand Five on TVoD, two free Sky Movie channels etc. (Wishful thinking!)
Anyway, enjoy the time off and have a Creme Egg or two.
Thanks and looking forward to next Monday's bulletin (with all of the above announcements  ).

I wish you were on the love in training course I was on and you could have pointed out the errors of the PC brigade.
Happy to get back on topic hopefully with some news

This is a wind up? Yes? (Are you allowed to say "wind up" or is that being offensive to watches and clocks?
