Tonight on the only show on British TV that measures what’s hot and what’s not online… the web chat about the record breaking 95 million pound Euro lottery draw – have you bought a ticket when you wouldn’t normally bother?
Inevitably any conversation turns to what you would do with such a sum, if it came your way.
Come straight back to work on Monday morning? You know, I think I might – it would be fun to keep the secret. But I guess any winner could risk being cheeky (or worse) to the boss, in the full knowledge that he or she had lost any sense of fear of the sack!
With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, we feature some of the best chat up lines from around the world – and note the change of emphasis from country to country.
German predatory males like phrases like: “Your eyes are the same colour as my Porsche” - apparently. It doesn’t say how effective that is!
Also on the show – the top topics for debate online: such as the latest report from the British police into the death of Benazir Bhutto has generated pages and pages of comment, with opinion divided.
Some support the UK officers, and their conclusion that it was the force of the explosion rather than a bullet that killed Ms Bhutto. But other theories – conspiracy or not – abound. We’ll talk about that tonight.
And we look ahead to the lovey doveyness of the BAFTA’s on Sunday evening. Great that this is now established in the A-lister’s calendar – but does the academy accurately reflect public opinion? Many film fans disgree with the nominations let alone the prize winners. We debate the merits of a BAFTA.
See you online or on TV – Sky News 501 or Freeview 82 at 7.30pm.

Sir
The many a vanilla moments provided by the lottery of such sums, if entered, which I don't as a habit, would indeed as you say bring about much [Enigma]. Perhaps the joys of [Mea Culpa] will provide me with ample time to consider any Monday morning pleasures.
