Have copied it all down in my new note-book (not my ACER!).
Being an old-fashioned sort of girl I find I memorise things better when I write them by hand. Have divided it into categories: Gossip, Soaps, Girl/Boy bands, Politics, Media, TV commedies, Slang etc...you know how much I like to make lists.
I am using my 37yr old Waterman cartridge pen with Royal blue ink which has never let me down in exams.
Blooper and Chav are my first slang entries...
Just to give back a little -Borde is a spanish word with many different meanings among them: Edgy, Illegitimate and Border. In Italian the word is Bordo -it doesn't take a massive leap of the imagination to get to Bordello which somehow seems appropriate for Pamella
What is Channel 4 by the way?
