For example, a discussion concerning our elected representatives such as Eric Pickles (4.3) or Jeremy Hunt (6.6) or indeed members of the House of Lords (2.3) such as Conrad Black (7.9) or Jeffrey Archer (9.2) can be much simplified by using saviles. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50861#post-146493 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:13:54 +0000 arthurminnit 146493@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>mike turbine hamilton is an anagram of arthurminnit. </p> <p>apart from having not enough "r"s. and having an extra "bike ome".</p> <p>so , not really an anagram at all.</p> <p>sorry. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50861#post-146477 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:25:50 +0000 button 146477@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>5.0 stars </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50861#post-146463 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:15:43 +0000 dvo4fun 146463@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>yep </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50861#post-146433 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:39:44 +0000 Golgo13 146433@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <br /> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50861#post-146421 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:13:12 +0000 Squudge 146421@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>yup - though I'd have slipped Noel Edmonds in at 8.9 as the 'scotch bonnet' of the bunch </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=50861#post-146418 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:10:22 +0000 custard cream 146418@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A winner!

The new unit is the "savile" and is logarithmically scaled from 1 to 10. Some early ratings include Piers Morgan (8.3 saviles), Ed Balls (4.6), John Terry (5.1) and Adolf Hitler (4.9). Negative ratings are also calculated, with Kate Middleton rated at -7.3 saviles, Clare Balding at -6.8 and Stephen Fry at -0.3.</p> <p>M Bouillon (1.4) was unable to enlighten journalists (6.2) at the press conference as to the source of the new unit's name but further details should emerge when the EU (4.7) debates the introduction of the savile next month. </p>
