Thought for the day

This year is the fiftieth year of television in Australia, and we've been blessed with several self-congratulatory programs celebrating this milestone. I was horrified to discover yesterday that Channel 7 also seems to be marking the occasion by a weekly dose of "comedy classics" - two and a half hours of "George and Mildred", "The Benny Hill Show", "On The Buses" and "Are You Being Served" in prime time. After fifty years, I think they've stopped trying.

Today I received spam from Alerts Bison, who wanted to tell me that "A word spoken is past recalling. Possible Interpretation: Do not look for faults in a something received as a gift." Thanks for that, Alerts Bison!
