Today's issue that affects me: Our wheelie bin was emptied on time this morning without any fuss or mess. Are Gwynedd Council doing it wrong?
So, if you are struggling for news stories today, here
are some suggestions:

How the BBC drives down
costs... by spending £200,000 on chauffeurs
Mr Thompson,
who receives a salary of around £600,000 a year, has a VW Phaeton car on call,
according to the Daily Telegraph, at an annual cost of £67,000. A further
£65,000 was spent on providing a chauffeur-driven car for Mr Thompson’s deputy
Mark Byford, who received a pay-off worth almost £1milion after his redundancy
was announced last year. Sir Michael Lyons, outgoing chairman of the BBC
Trust, also had a Lexus on call at a cost of £65,000.
No? How about
this one?

BBC News gaffe as paedophile
picture is used during report on RBS boss Stephen
Hester
The BBC was left red-faced yesterday after a
picture of paedophile teacher Nigel Leat was mistakenly flashed up on screen
during a news bulletin report on RBS boss Stephen Hester.
The female newsreader was talking about the controversial decision to hand Hester almost £1million in bonuses when Leat's police mugshot appeared on screen with the headline 'RBS BOSS BONUS'.

Still not tempted? Well, there is always
this one...

BACKLASH AS BBC'S £500M MEDIA
CITY FAILS TO HELP NORTH
THE BBC faced a licence-fee
backlash last night from TV regions over its controversial £500million move to
MediaCity in Salford.
A Commons motion has been tabled calling for licence-fee cash to be used to save television jobs in the Midlands after it emerged that viewers there pay 19 per cent of the levy but receive just three per cent of the funds in return in the form of jobs.
Birmingham broadcasting has been been cut heavily in the past seven years, with more than 6,000 jobs disappearing. Insiders fear other jobs could go as more programmes leave for the BBC’s new MediaCity base.

But, as well know, the BBC can do no wrong
in your eyes, so we'll have to make do with the usual outrages du
jour...
1) BONUSES - Would you like a politician to decide how much your bonus is? When Stephen Hester heard there was to be a parliamentary debate on his bonus, he turned it down : So multi-millionaire Ed Miliband has complained about multi-millionaire Hester's bonus, but multi-millionaire George Osbourne says that multi-millionaire Miliband was in the Cabinet when multi-millionaire Hester's bonus was discussed and agreed. With reports of over £300million wiped off RBS shares today as a result of this, I am left to wonder how multi-millionaire Miliband justifies his intervention in relation to the zero growth figures announced last week. For completeness, what we need is a millionaire radio personality to discuss this. Any idea who might be available? (http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23755244-fear-and-loathing-inside-the-bbc.do - half way down). It is interesting to read that Bob Crow's RMT members have also decided to turn down their bonus for working during the Olympics (http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-24031862-tube-workers-reject-pound-500-olympics-pay-offer.do) but for rather different reasons. Unfortunately, I do not qualify for any kind of bonus, and if I did the only person who would decide its size would be me. Next...
2) GETTING CHILDREN READING - Chris Evans has today launched his 500-word story competition. But before you get your child writing you’ve got to get them reading. We ask: how do you get your reluctant child to read books? : Children? What children? This is just a promotion for another BBC programme. Next...
3) CRIMINAL INJURIES COMPENSATION - Criminal Injuries Compensation will no longer be paid out to people convicted of crimes themselves, but what if they’d changed and become a better person in the meantime? Don’t they deserve compensation as much as anyone else? : I am not a criminal, and I am fortunate that I have not been injured as the result of a crime, so this has no relevance to me. Next...
4) PARKING - Listen up, men — women park better than you! It’s official according to a survey, but we put it to the test with Christine and Neil Hamilton : Honestly, is this the best you can do? What's that noise I can hear...? Oh, it's only your Sony Radio Award galloping off in to the sunset.
The Jeremy Vine Show - completely made up, because Ken Bruce said so (11:31 30/01/12)
