As many members may have noticed, I'm a miserable old bugger. So, perhaps every week or less, I'm going to make a Topical Barometer aimed at various little annoyances and pleasures that cross my path

The majority of these will be aimed at the media. Edit - I'm also going to use all of my strength to find the little things that please me; be it a new television programme, song, advertising campaign or random little fact of life.
[Note - Wasn't sure where to put this, so settled on the Interactive Archive. Also, feel free to comment on these on whether they annoy/please you too, or if you disagree!
Note#2 - There is a stronger focus on the negative here, as the original intention of this was to have a Weekly Rant.]
