What's a Milf

I read today that the BBC's over-paid Jonathon Ross has been cleared by a committee of his own BBC bosses for calling Nigella Lawson a 'Milf' on his show. What can this mean. My spellchecker doesn't recognise it. 'Member of the Institute of Low-fat Food perhaps. He was cleared of saying a few other things as well, which I could understand all too well - language I thought more appropriate to a porn channel. What really struck me though was the reason that this committee gave when proclaiming the 'not guilty' verdict. It seems that seriously foul language is ok because Jonathon Ross "has a well established reputation for robust humour and language". What can Lord Reith be thinking?

Perhaps the BBC, now that she has decided to send all of her staff on 'honesty courses' will ask that an additional module be slipped in on 'appropriate language'. But this brings me back to the word 'Milf'. Its a word with a rather nice ring to it. Don't think I'll use it in a public speech until I know exactly what it means.

If you really want to know what it means, then do a Google search.

Jonathan Ross's contract should be terminated at the first opportunity - if it can be done without bankrupting the BBC

Well Glyn, MILF means "mothers I'd like to f**k!" So you can see why there was a bit of a fuss made! Congrats by the way, I think you've got a good chance against Lembit Opik as he has lost a lot of support especially amongst us women folk over his nonsense with the "Cheeky Girls". He really can't be taken seriously anymore. His other love affair with the media is a bit hard to take too. Best wishes. F

Thanks for letting us know. How low can the BBC sink if this is deemed an acceptable comment for their highest paid employee to make on air. The BBC is in trouble.

I was hoping to be able to translate this acronym for you and then ask for a link to my blog - but someone got in first with the reply.Any chance of the second bit?

Good luck with the 7173! it's only about 10 a day if the elections is 2 years off, so one bight at a time.

A lot being made of the "magic" 7173 number.

Remember that Glyn only needs a direct swing of 3587 votes to win by a majority of 1.
