I liked the recent headline on Tiscali news "Guardian journalist believed..."
I was quite tickled at the idea that the Grauniad might be thought so unreliable that it was news if someone believed it.
What they meant, I think, was "Guardian journo believed missing "

How surprised was Karen when, after her successful treatment for cancer, she discovered she had become a father. Tragedy struck again when her husband, John, threatened to leave unless she told him who was the baby's mother.

Day three as it happened
I knew the BBC had a large network of reporters, but I am surprised to learn they were doing coverage even before God got around to creating humankind.
(This surely has to qualify as one of the most self-defeating headlines ever in terms of clarity?)

NHS patients tracked by satellite ![[Confused]](confused.gif) ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Big brother? Electronic tagging? - "Ah, he's gone to the pub now, though he shouldn't be drinking! And he should stay in bed anyway!"
The follow-up isn't helping either: quote:
The movement of patients in Coventry and Warwickshire is being tracked to streamline NHS ambulance services.
Aha! - The report then says: "The control room can then see exactly where any given vehicle in their fleet is and arrange patient transfer minute by minute."

Man Utd linked with French pair
[rant][pedant mode]
I suspected this might be about football, and going to the article, found it was indeed, about two prospective players. But surely it should be the pair linked with Man Utd and not the other way round? I know soccer stars' egos are huge, but quand même..., is this what BBC English has come to?

obviously instead of passing the money on to the Universities - perhaps to avoid raising taxes.
this inevitably leads (furter down the RSS list) to
