U folks shld speak proper like i do

Is the English langauge evolving into SMS speak, with all words abbreviated to list of consonants and phonetic spellings? As the Telegraph explains, apparently so. Brit kids find spelling and English grammar too difficult so we should encourage dumbing things down. This is the opinion of John Wells, Emeritus Professor of Phonetics at University College London. We need to free kids from the “burden” or learning!!! American-isms should be encourgaed….oh boy, that really is dumbing things down. Just look at who Americans vote for….to represent and speak for them on the world stage 
And for something completely different -
Finally, a voice a reason amongst all the Google sycophants proclaiming Chrome as the second coming. With a healthy dose of humour, sense, and fuckin shit bollox langauge….El Reg does it again
PS. will post some more stuff about my recent travels to Cracow, Warsaw and Berlin real soon…..promise Just waiting until i get round to uploading all the pics to flickr.

Most of the time.

I dont think there is any easy way. First you would need a Sky decoder box with a valid subscription (which technically, Sky don’t allow outside of the UK). Even then you probably wouldn’t be able to receive any of the UK terrestrial channels available on Sky – the foorptint for that specific satellite is only big enought to cover the UK. Another option might be to see if you can get them over the internet, if u have a good broadband connection. Me, I just make do with local cable TV.
