Anywaaaaayyyyy

The BBC News Magazine used to include images of the front pages of many of the dailies. Lawyers put an end to that, but they continue to have Paper Monitor, which occasionally gives us such a gem as this:

The [Telegraph] does today have the privilege of having a column by the man of the moment, Sebastian Faulks, who has written the new Bond novel. After a few observations about how remarkable Ian Fleming’s family are, he tells an awfully amusing tale about how he was watching his barrister brother appearing in court last week but then realised that he didn’t know if his phone was switched off and because it was a new phone (a device, you might say), he didn’t know how to check if it was on or not without making it beep or buzz. Anywaaaaayyyyy, as it turns out, the phone didn’t actually go off, but boy was that a close thing. That’s some anecdote.
