Better nothing bad happen to BBC. If I don't get my Doctor Who fix, I might torch some wood.

Well, I've just paid my £145 licence fee, so I'm pretty miffed! Have to get the short-wave out and back to Radio Luxembourg.

Didn't they want to license computers and the Internet back in the '90s? So when is the good people of the UK revolt against this? I knew there was a license fee, but 145 GBP a YEAR! WTF! This is more than a brand new 20" LCD every year!
