Hunch

Call me a fool, but I've got a hunch.

The bods at AQA were compiling the exam paper during Feb and march - when the big Big Brother row was boiling over.
I don't think they'll be able to resist setting a question on Reality TV, or Celebrities, or the responsibilities of broadcasters. Or something.
Make sure you know what OFCOM said about Big Brother.
Take a look at the current series of BB - if you can bear those bloody twins...

Click on the information fragment to find out more about it.

"Only whores of Babylon wear heels!"

The Onion, a satirical webzine that can be very funny, has an article about Muslim dress codes.
Certain shameless hussies in the class,who brazenly flaunt their elbows should take note of it!
(Warning: Don't quote this article in the exam - it's a fake.)
