NuBo vs High Energy?



A 98 year old from a group calling itself "High Energy" is hoping to appear on Britain's Got Talent. Winnifred Shaw from Ilford was inspired by granny singing sensation, Janey Cutler (80) Winnifred hopes to wow audiences with an Elvis Presley number it seems. The old lady has already been given the all clear by her local hospital. She says she wants to do it "my family and my country" Well, good luck to her!

Grandma we love you, grandma we do... geriatric opponent Janey Cutler is now known as NuBo. The higher NuBo stock rises the more money for the promoters behind the scream factory.

Over in China BBC Worldwide are having a bit of bother with their pepper-pot Tombliboos. The TV characters speak jibberish, which is apparently a good thing in this day and age, translations of the jibberish to Mandarin have caused the character to swear in a very offensive fashion. Bill & Ben The Flowerpot Men never swore, although Pink and Perky were rumoured to use fruity langauge after a night on the cider.

"Obviously we can't have a character on one of the most successful kids shows going around the world uttering profanities." is the wry comment from the BBC.
