Funny Program of the Night
Watching a program called Traffic Cops. The Police nicked this guy, who had eaten a crushed up dog biscuit thinking it was drugs, for which he’d been arrested. The officer said they were barking up the wrong tree.
The Last Match on ITV
Tonight’s match is last one, that I’ll have to watch on ITV. Yippee!
But I’ll be listening to the match commentary on my laptop.
It’s certainly the best way to watch football with adverts.
I wonder what percentage do it this way or listen to a radio for the commentary?
Pointless Celebrities
They have a program on BBC1 with this name at the moment.
It probably sums the program up too!
Adverts On Television
They were discussing this on BBC Breakfast this morning, so I gave them my four-pennyworth.
I must be the only person, who’s not seen any of Downton Abbey.
The reason, is I don’t watch adverts. So when football is on ITV and BBC Radio 5 Live, I listen to the radio.
When I moved to London, I had to cancel my old Sky subscription. They asked, if there was anything would make me resubscribe in my new house. I said, jokingly, a subscription without ads at an extra cost. They said I wasn’t the first to say that.
Shoot the meerkats!
Until I get the no-advert Sky option, I’ll continue to watch and listen to the BBC.
I’d Forgotten Richmal Crompton Was a Woman
They just had a pece on the BBC about the children’s author, Richmal Crompton, who wrote the Just William books.
I’d forgotten that she was actually a woman, but Richmal is a rather unusual first name.
It’s a Rotten Job, But Someone Has To Do It
They’ve just had a lady called Ella Slack on the television. She is the official stand-in for the Queen at rehearsals, so that broadcasters can set up their cameras correctly. Apparently, she got the job because she was the right height and worked for BBC Outside Broadcasts at the time. There’s more here in the Telegraph.
However, she’s never met the Queen.
I wonder if Her Majesty was watching the broadcast!
More Sherlocks Than Hamlet
According to the Guinness Book of Records, there have been 254 film and television versions of Sherlock Holmes, but only 206 of Hamlet.
Obesity
They’ve just given a forum on BBC Breakfast for a very large lady, who calls herself a Size Awareness Campaigner. She objects to being called obese and wants doctors to use other words.
I would just use fat!
After all because of their overeating, they are pushing the NHS down the toilet.
Why should I pay my taxes to fund other clear up the mess causes by the bad habits of others. And of course that includes smoking and excessive drinking!
That item would never have been shown, whilst the program was based in London.
The United States Censors The Thick of It.
According to this report, the American version of The Thick of It has been censored for bad language.
What does it say for a country, where you can’t say “Fuck” on television, but you keep the death penalty?
A Fiesty Debate In Paris
It would appear that it was a feisty debate in Paris between President Sarkozy and his challenger, Francois Hollande. But no one got in a knock out blow.
Now there’s an idea!
Perhaps the two of them, should meet in the boxing ring!
It would be a world-wide TV hit!
