 Very cleverly done indeed! It's almost believable

They also said greyhound racing on ice, which had been trialled in Aviemore, was coming to London
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

and that the RSPB were planning to capture finches because there were too manyof them in the UK and transport them to Denmark via terminal 5 and they would be okay becasuse they don't have any hand luggage.
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.

I did actually see a plane taking off from T5 the other day when I was at Datchet.  I should have got a photo as proof!

Eh? Planes using T5 use the existing pair of runways at Heathrow.

Didn't you know the reason the roof was built so large was to allow short haul aircraft to use it as an alternate runway, thereby getting round all the silly green types!!

Getting back to the penguins , as seen on TV, I dispair at this new 'Photoshop' type toy the BBC technicians have to play with. Previously it was hippos synchronised underwater swimming. Kids will grow up thinking this is real. With a bit more imagination the technicians could make it distinguishable from reality without detracting from the content.
