Are there signs of panic in the newsrooms? I do sense a certain desperation at Sky News, my favorite newsroom, as they scratch about trying to find, er, well, some news, actually! I mentioned a few weeks back how deadly quiet this battered old globe of ours has become which is "A Good Thing", of course, but leaves the imagination free to worry about what might be approaching from a direction none of the so-called experts ever told us about. Ah well, fingers crossed!
The end of a beautiful friendship: I have mentioned before, 'many a time and oft', 'my mate Rupe' with whom hitherto I have enjoyed an excellent friendship mainly on account of him sending me - free of charge! - a satellite dish and a dead-clever recording-thingie. Alas, I should have known that there is no such thing as a freebie from an Aussie and when I realised that I was paying £63 a month for the pleasure of not watching almost total 24-hour crap I'm afraid our friendship ended. The only thing I shall really miss will be Fox News which I rather enjoyed - on an occasional basis - although no doubt some comms swot will tell me that you can watch it live via computer. Perhaps when the 'Memsahib' runs off with the milkman I might just dispense with TV for ever.
