When No News Is Too Much News
"Sydney's coldest morning in a year!"
D'oh...
Really?
You mean it was just as cold this time last year?
Is that Gina Rinehart's idea of news?
The keyboard is mightier than the machine gun... The political, philosophical and general outpourings of a troubled soul living in Australia and blogging his Vietnam veteran's head off.
Nothing in this blog can be believed. If you think that anything in this blog is true or factual, you'll need to verify it from another source. Do you understand? No? Then read it again, and repeat this process, until you understand that you cannot sue me for anything you read here. Also, having been sucked into taking part in the mass-murder of more than 3 million Vietnamese people on behalf of U.S. Big Business "interests", I'm as mad as a cut snake (and broke) so it might be a bit silly to try to sue me anyway...

Is it really necessary to be told how more cold it is than last year.
Should we have a rebate next year to compensate so it can be a little warmer? but it would still be cold and the little difference would hardly be noticeable.
Over! the sweet summer roses,
And never a flower at the close;
Over and gone with the roses,And winter again with the snows.

'Cold as the snow on an eskimq's testes
Cold as charity and that's bloody chilly - but not so cold as our my poor willy and so on.
Well, Vesty, they were not saying that it was colder than last year.
They were actually saying "this time last year we had a day which was even colder."
In other words, what they're really saying is "today was not quite as cold as this time last year", but the way they said it made it sound like the exact opposite.
But either way, it was a non-event. It was non-news. Thank the probably non-existent gods of your choice for the blessing that it was free-to-air TV and we didn't have to pay for that bullshit. :-)
Thanks for the poetry, Rosemary and Sidney. :-)
Given that you were watching the network that thought Being Lara Bingle was worth making and broadcasting, you deserve all you get.
Andrew, if we stopped watching a TV channel on the basis that they air a dodgy program, we'd very quickly end up watching no TV at all. Not that that would be a bad thing, mind. :-)
You know, there was a really thick mist this morning in the Berra. I'll bet it was the thickest for ages, maybe 12 months.
Oh. Right. Move along, nothing to see here.
