Ipswich Ripper - Subliminal messages on Watchdog

So, although admittedly, the police haven't released all the details, from what I have read at least *one* of the (now 5) victims was suffocated in some fashion, so why on earth is the press calling the killer "The Ipswich Ripper" (apart from the obvious prostitute connection)?

Surely, if the press had thought about it, it would have been "The Suffolk Strangler"? Much more catchy and appropriate! Someone in the press has really dropped the ball...*unless*, as I said, we have some more details to be presented with by the detectives in question and the press are keeping their muzzles on, for some reason...wouldn't be the first time...

On the same note, and on the more "interesting" side, I was sat watching "Watchdog" on the BBC this evening, and the female presenter was wearing a white shirt with the word "NO" clearly emblazoned in massive black letters across her breasts...I can't help but wonder if this is anything to do with it...and I'm sorry, but there is no way that wasn't deliberate *and* for some very good reason (even if I am a little off the mark as to exactly why) -

Update - As of the 14th December issue of the Metro, they are now calling him, lo and behold, the Suffolk Strangler... ;)

Stop cold calling - TPS call screening

Well, it works. Flyingpops signed us up for the TPS (Telephone Preference Service) for all our phone numbers, and you know what? No nuisance calls since. Worked like a charm. I think she said she did have one cold call on her mobile shortly after doing so (it takes them a little while to update all the lists apparently), but the very mention of the TPS sent them packing like the devil himself was ministering to their bottoms with a glowing poker!

So, it's free, it works, and you can register online now.

Do it.
