Champion chat-up line; RESULT!


Byline: DEREK McGOVERN; JOHN SHAW John Shaw may refer to any of the following people:
  • Captain John Shaw (navy) (1773 - 1823 Sep. 17), Captain in the United States Navy during First Barbary War and the War of 1812.

 in full British Broadcasting Corp.

Publicly financed broadcasting system in Britain. A private company at its founding in 1922, it was replaced by a public corporation under royal charter in 1927.

1. A protective covering for the head.

2. A set of headphones; a headset.

 on Sunday, I halfexpected his mum to interrupt and order him home for his tea.

The Brit is now 4-7 with Hills to pick up the Beeb award. Jessica Ennis (inset) is the 5-2 second-favourite, which gives you some idea what this year has been like.

My money's on the Sunderland beach ball.
