    Default TWG fame spreads on the BBC!

    I was watching "Have I Got News For You" last night which is a satirical newsquiz (it's funnier than it sounds!!!)

    Anyway, they have a section where there are headlines from a chosen publication with words blank out so you have to fill the blank etc etc. They always choose something that's meant to be a little wacky and specialist - this week it was the Tightwad Gazette.

    It was so weird to hear mention of it in this context and I must admit when everyone was ridiculing it it did seem pretty odd. But it cheered me up anyway! (yes I did guess what the blanked out words were, much to DH's amusement!)
