I tried telling them I stopped my TV from receiving BBC channels, and it was in black and white.....I painted it..

Can't understand why they didn't believe me..............................................

Just saw this on Sniffpetrol: http://www.sniffpetrol.com/2008/03/25/back-with-another-one-of-those-cock-stoppin-beebs/

SniffPetrol is a website that has had a long-running campaign to try to stop James Allen ruining F1. It is called the 'Stop The Cock' campaign:

Yes, its the best news since some bloke took his new slicing machine round to Mr Hoviss house: As of next year Formula 1 will be back on the BBC.

Now, aside from celebrating an end to irksome ad breaks and the repetitive sponsorship bumpers therein, lots of people have e-mailed since last weeks announcement to point out that perhaps we have, at last, Stopped The Cock.

Obviously Sniff Petrol would like to take all the credit for this, even though its patently not true and might make us look self-aggrandising to the point of mentalness. Besides which, were not out of the wet voiced woods yet and theres always a small chance some buffoon at Television Centre will accidentally phone the weak milky stats bore and invite him to jump channels. But lets hope it doesnt come to that.

If youre listening, slightly victorious and smug BBC Sport people, here are some pointers for your F1 coverage:

1. Do NOT hire James Allen.

2. Bring back The Chain as the theme tune. This is what the people want from F1. Not flashy graphics, not seamless punditry, just turning on the telly of a Sunday afternoon to hear bumm bu-bu-bumm bu-bu-bububu-bummm and then that ace bit where it gets all exciting and the guitar goes nangnangnangnangnangnangah! NB: This MUST coincide with a shot of an F1 car bottoming out and sparks coming off the bottom. Its THE LAW.

3. Do NOT hire James Allen.

That is all.

Let's hope that someone at the BBC takes notice.
