"Hey Ernie, something is weird here."
"Well, with you Eric, is anything normal?"
"No, you numskull, look at this"
The first Morecambe and Wise Show to air on BBC One - feared lost for ever - has been unearthed after 50 years.
The Mirror reports that Eric Morecambe's son, Gary, found a film of the episode in the attic.
Despite getting 14 million viewers, the half-hour show - broadcast in October 1970 - has never been repeated. ITV will show the footage as part of its Lost Tapes series.
"Hey Eric, why is ITV showing a BBC episode?"
"Good question Ernie"

Yep, we need to allow people to have a chance to grow and to grow up without intrusive scrutiny...
And instead, we now have the lifelong embarrassment and ever more misused source that is: Social Media...
All for a whole new culture?
WTF is wrong with people?
Several papers report on the appointment of a "naughty school boy" to one of the most senior positions in education.
Owen Evans is Wales' new chief inspector for schools.
The Daily Mirror explains that he may seem an unlikely candidate, having been expelled from school as a 16-year-old for giving his teachers cornflake cakes laced with laxatives.
Most of the teachers were so badly affected they were unable to attend lessons the next day.
Mr Evans recalls that it was the "look of disappointment" in his mother's eyes that made him turn his life around.

Perhaps they want to use Roman, or (ancient) Chinese, or (ancient) Japanese, or one of the other character sets representing digits....
(not forgetting that some of those sets do not contain a zero character, cope with fractions etc.)
I hope such people realise what "fun" they would impose on themselves as they moved back in time and have to re-invent their system of arithmetic and mathematics. All the while most of the rest of the world looks on bemused.

Better not tell them that algebra and many other parts of maths were discovered by Arabs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_in_medieval_Islam

Algebra itself is an Arabic term (al-jabr). As is algorithm, alcohol, alembic, alkali(ne), anil(ine), azimuth... and that's just the a's.

I'm dirty - haven't taken a Shower in 3 Years. I'm Old.

Those BBs seem to be terribly Uncomfortable and Look Horrid on Every One of them

Why do they Wear Them?

When I was a teenager seeing a Beautifully Shaped female Behind was a treat. Not so with these players. And I have Same Mind/Feelings
'bout this region as I ever had.


BBs are an Ugly Distraction. So Out of Place.


Weird.

Yep

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

Recent reports also show that the repeal of a Florida law in 2010 that required condominium buildings to plan for repairs may have also contributed to the collapse.

And what happened to all those British drivers?

There are stories that some international hauliers have set up a second base on the mainland, and re-trained (and re-certified) their drivers as Irish drivers. That gives them direct access to the whole 27.
