Well JP was wondering what it was that bugs ol' Buff, and let me tell you that's a long long list. But one thing spring to mind - having to memorise the phonetic alphabet.
I mean it's ok if you know Greek or read Shakespeare (and don't ask JP about that - he's been babbling about the BBC's Hamlet for weeks) - all that nonsense about delta romeos.
When the boats on fire or about to go down you don't want to have to battle to remember what N is. It's a bit like the ethos behind the history book "1066 and all that" which contains all the bits you remember - it should be the first thing that springs to mind.
And the most memorable N internationally is the trainer brand Nike, so why not use that?
From that simple principle here's my new revolutionary alphabet:
Apple
Britney
Coke
Disney
Elton
Facebook
Google
Hotmail
iPhone
Justin
Kylie
London
Madonna
Nike
Obama
Paris
QVC
Rolling
Stones
TV
U2
Virgin
Wiki
Xbox
Youtube
Zip
It's a piece of cake!
So this is Britney U2 Facebook Facebook saying over and out!
