Lovely stuff - although the Preview links don't work.
But "bored OF the football"? nws will be after you.

Even the Guardian and Radio 4 have succumbed to this evil in recent weeks. I fear the barbarians are already inside the walls.

Simon Heffer probably hates it which means it has to have some intrinsic merit. You're right about the links though, must unf*** them. (From the verb 'to unfuck').

Nay, and thrice nay. it's 'bored with'. I appreciate that the barbarians have taken it to their hearts and it will no doubt become standard soon, if it isn't already. But someone's got to have SOME standards!

Don't forget 'bored by, JDL. Sadly, we will eventually succumb, the divs will win the day and 'bored of' will become acceptable.
