It pissed me off that the BBC tech correspondant
used the phrase "Ironically, the new head of Apple was launching the new Iphone just a couple of days ago".

If a professional journalist doesn't know what "ironically" means, we might as well all give up now and admit that teachers the standard of fat bobbypires are the future.

Aaah, Rodean, where, as legend would have it, all the door handles had to be moved to a higher level
to stop girls using them as masturbatory aids, and workmen had to walk around in pairs, in case they got ambushed by groups of horny schoolchildren.

I find the idea of a group of sexually predatory teenage girls extremely scary.
Particularly teenage girls with a public school accent.

Sexually predatory girls of any age are quite scary.

it would only be ironic if the new model was called

Or if it was discovered that presenting new Apple products actually cured cancer.

The irony is that there is an app on the new iphone to cure cancer
Jobs was apparently waiting for his contract to expire before upgrading.
