It was pitch black
outside when I got up this morning. i watched a bit of Bob Ross over
breakfast - an episode I'd not seen before. For all that Bob made
over thirty seasons of "The Joy of Painting", there
only ever seems to be the same dozen episodes ever shown on the
telly. It was good to see something different.
And then I wasted ten
minutes watching re-runs of "Treacle People".
Quality!
The news boiled my piss
this morning. Apparently the chocolate giant Cadbury's have claimed
dibs on the colour purple. Having successfully won a legal battle to
prevent other chocolate manufacturers from using the colour purple in
their product wrappings there was an article on the morning's news
about religious
types being scared to wrap their advent choccies in purple paper
in case they fall foul of the legalities.
How on Earth can anyone copyright a colour?
How on Earth can anyone copyright a colour?
And so t work where I did
my bit and then came home. And again my piss boiled as I listened to
the radio. There was a rather self-congratulatory program on radio 4
about how frankly marvellous the BBC was because of it's being a
public broadcast service. The presenter tried to big up how wonderful
the Beeb was, and tried to play down the systemic biases that the BBC
so obviously has. And if anyone honestly believes that the BBC gives
the news impartially I challenge them to listen to radio four and see
how long it is until they imply that Muslims are to blame for all the
ills of the world.
And so home where we had
a bottle of plonk (and some port) over a rather nice
spot of tea and an episode of the Spoke and Jim show. Hic....
