I remember going on a boat trip around Sydney Harbour in 1999. Most of the commentary seemed to consist of telling us how much each house cost and who owned it. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

An April first joke:

A couple of decades ago ABC radio (a BBC Radio equivalent) had a panel of experts discussing Sydney's housing shortage. The solution was to lower Sydney Harbour and build new housing around the newly created foreshore. ABCs phones had a meltdown with all the previous waterfront owners loosing their views! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

The BBC are now using a reality check, who is checking the news for reality as we need to find him / her and make them PM, or ignore them... Not sure
Who reality checks the reality checkers?


When i were a lad the BBC wss the reality check, if it wasnt gospel it wasnt reported At work

Sounds a bit like Sandbanks on Poole Harbour in Dorset which is supposed to be one of the most expensive places to live in the world. A local builder told me that the average age of a property there is about 9 years since it's quite common for some millionaire type to buy a place and trash it and rebuild it. He claimed to have worked on one site three times over the years. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Never mind the facts. The problem with BBC (and ITV) news is that they can only deal with one topic at a time. It used to be Brexit and now its Covid19 and PPE and who said what to who about what and going over the same material endlessly. I am sure that there are other things going on in the world. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

The BBC Live Stream on their web-site seems to be a booking system for Twitter. The spelling and grammar, of course, match! Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Can anybody help me with this question? We are constantly being told by the government, wearing a mask in supermarkets and public transport is a waste of time.
So why are doctors and nurses so keen on them?

Masks are to prevent the wearer giving you the disease.

Some people like to sue the NHS for negligence, so if they are wearing all the correct PPE they cannot be blamed.

Just the same as if you were a builder not wearing a safety helmet and became injured,
then you can't sue your employer if a brick falls on your head and you get brain damage or killed,
and insurance will most likely not payout.

An Australian ad that could be reworded.

Actually it worked a bit too well & had some negative effects for the wrong reasons. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
