They're talking about Manchester United, as someone only vaguely 
familiar with British culture might expect people over there to 
be doing at any given time.  dpkg tells me:

Kubuntu 6.06 here, so I'm not exactly bleeding-edge.  Obviously 
I'd rather they were broadcasting in Ogg or MP3, but I don't 
actually listen to the BBC so at least they're more 
Linux-friendly than, say, XM/AOL Radio.
