and my favourites,

'so and so meet some foreign guy and they discussed issues of mutual interest'

or

'the cabinet met and discussed stuff and made the appropriate decisions'

If you are not going to tell me what went on or what was discussed then don't tell me at all!

[quote]Then they haven't learnt anything in 44 years![/quote]Seconded.

When will they realise that sending people telegrams on the occasion of their country's national day is NOT news.

But Happy Birthday QBS, anyway.
