ITV. We take a break from hammering The BBC today and turn our faces to their commercial competition - we always knew they were cranking it up! This in the Daily Mail:

'It is a phenomenon that has annoyed television audiences for years - the advert break begins and suddenly the volume is cranked up.

Despite numerous complaints, broadcasters have previously tried to suggest that the jump in noise is a figment of viewers' imaginations.

But now the Advertising Standards Authority has proven it exists and is taking action against ITV.'

Kraft. How Krafty are these people? Well, liars rather than Krafty allegedly. Around 400 workers will lose their jobs after the American food group announced it will shut the Somerdale plant in Somerset. Having assured us all, just a week ago that it wouldn't.

Welcome to Shoeing Of The Day. It's a simple concept, who would you most like to throw your shoes at? Here are my nominations for today, please add your own, and maybe we can make your dream come true.

So whos' up for a shoeing today? So many candidates - where to start?

Let's start here: The Guardian Music Blog. I used to love it, especially the comments, lively, controversial, informed. Now it's dull as ditch-water and full of NME cast-offs who talked crap at IPC and continue to do so at The Grauny - and be careful not to disagree with them, you WILL be barred. Note to bloggers: If you haven't got anything to say shut-up...please!

Twitter. I have nothing good to say about Twitter, but Twitter says a lot about you, principally: "I am a sad sack twat with too much time on my plate and a strange belief that others might be intersted to find out that I'm a sad sack twat" Playing Twitter is the definition, should you need one, of 'un-cool'. I'm seriously considering going back to snail-mail for my correspondence, thousands of e-mails and similar fly into my in-box every day...and are deleted. But a letter in the post remains special.

Cameron and Osborne. Just when we need a break from Gordon etal these two public school ponces wave goodbye to potential voters by simply having no idea. Every time these jokers screw up you can hear thousands saying: "That's it - I'm voting BNP!" I don't know what they stand for - do you? Do They? The time is now for strong leadership, but The Tories fluffed it when they made this toff leader rather than David Davis. The price will be a hung parliament.
