[Peter Pedant]

Chris people can be needlessly rude to us olds

[Mamyalynne]

I dip in and out of CIN, some good bits usually but not all.

[mallyh]

there are two replies to chris who is that ?

[margarettom]

I have no idea what CIN or MMBS is either and in 8 answers no one has explained.

[Neveracrossword]

CIN - Children In Need, the tv charity stuff/shows.

[margarettom]

Thanks Neveracrossword. That's half the mystery solved.

[JuniperEccles]

MMBS is a medical acronym for "Middle Mesophyll-Bundle Sheath". I thought everyone knew that.

[gingejbee]

I don't understand why this poster insists on telling us (in code) what TV programmes he/she will NOT be watching....because he/she dislikes 95% of TV output anyway!

[Buenchico]

^^^ MMBS isn't an acronym for anything, JE.

It's an abbreviation, yes.

It's an initialism, yes.

But (unless you can manage to pronounce it as one, which I certainly can't) it's definitely not an acronym!

[Ellipsis]

It's pronounced "Mmmm, BS".

[Ellipsis]

And I guess the programme is Michael McIntyre's Big Show ...

[kvalidir]

Just for the record it's not just old people who didn't understand this, I was completely flummoxed Wee :) x

[Buenchico]

Thanks for finally solving the mystery, Ellipsis!

//Chris people can be needlessly rude to us olds//
pp - i wasn't being rude - it was written tongue- n -cheek

I too had no idea was CIN and MMBS meant

[gness]

Well I haven't watched Middle Mesophyll-Bundle Sheath since they got rid of Miriam Margolyes.....:-(
