Gluten-Free Television
I don’t ever take my television with adverts, unless I actually really want to watch the program. So of the major programs on ITV like X-Factor, Downton Abbey and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, I’ve not seen a single episode.
Today my son came up the M11 and he was watching a channel showing endless repeats of Frazier, which is a series of which I’ve never watched a single minute. Nearly all of the adverts were for products that I couldn’t eat, except for one for the Halifax Bank, for which I have no need.
I actually wonder whether these adverts have any positive effect for the companies involved as many households would actually be turned off by them. There was one advert for Iceland, that really convinced never to go near the shop, if all their customers were like those shown.
Would You Like to be Rescued by a Chihuahua?
This seems to be a story that someone made up about a chihuahua being trained to be a police dog. But on reading it on the BBC, it appears that because of its size it can squeeze through small holes to find people trapped by earthquakes.
The only time I’ve seen small working dogs before, was in an airport in the United States, where the Beagle Brigade were sniffing passengers for illegal food imports.
The End of the Season Ends in One!
This football season ends in 01 and what does that mean?
Look at 1901, 1921, 1951, 1961, 1981 and 1991!
These were the years that ended in one, where Tottenham Hotspur won something.
So are they going to win something this season?
The way some of the other fancied teams are playing, I wouldn’t say that Spurs won’t win something this year!
