Kardashians? Had to look that word up I'm afraid! Sounded like another central Asian civil war brewing somewhere but I see that it's something to do with an American TV programme. Google says the ...

Blimey, Alan! There has certainly been some tripe dished up in the tabloids & elsewhere lately, admittedly catering for a pretty cerebrally challenged readership, shall we say, but this one takes ...
