The news is about the only thing I watch on TV nowadays. :-Y

 

Oh and the odd bit of corrie should the wife be wanting to watch it on catch up. That's a terrible programme. Do you ever get subjugated to the British soaps over there? If you do, I really am sorry. :-[

How could one be subjugated to a soap?

If one is anything like my wife, she's submissive, almost enslaved, if you will, to the whims, trials and tribulations of the good people of <wherever Coronation Street's set>.

No British Soaps but the wife does watch "Days of our Lives". I've noticed that you can skip years and still know what's going on with that show. What rubbish!

I remember something similar happening with the Cosby show - the story lines stayed the same, the only way you could distinguish between the series was the age of the child actors.

Yes, well, one friend studied there and one grew up there (both British) and they say it that way.

I knew there was something slightly fishy about him. And by fishy I mean wooden. And by wooden I mean waxy.

 

Still, it's amazing the preservative quality a lacquer of wax can afford the waxee isn't it? What must he be now - 96? And doesn't look a day beyond 80.

I heard an American refer to Tunisia as "choo-nee-shah" the other day. It made me very angry.

If anyone's interested in going ons in Libya and Egypt as they happen Andy Carvin on Twitter is good to follow. Bare in mind he'll flood your feed and some of it is harrowing stuff but he's good.

What about those of us interested in the goings on, but in a literate and coherent form, preferably with some evidence of journalistic ability, instead of a bunch of uncontexted retweeted crud? :@
