On a more positive note...

I know there is a church with a storm shelter across the road from my office. Thats where you'll find me when the town's storm siren sounds.

I'm not aware of all the meteorological factors that contribute to the high degree of tornado activity in the great plains; I'm sure there are many factors. But I do know the open, flat land in one of them.

Meanwhile the tempestuous phenomenon known as ColandRich seems to have settled down for the time being.
Perhaps due to the calming Kraj factor from the north.

Perhaps it's what is know as a more stable system than those that approach from the east

Indeed, I have been told that the behaviour of some european patterns can be quite volatile.

Yeah....cuz I have such a claming effect on them. I think tea time is a better explanation.

shhhhh - it you're very quiet you can almost hear them munching on their scones and butter.

That's soooooooooooooooooooooo................ funny............


Laughed out loud again.............................

 

[dan-cat]

looks like they have invited a chick for tea today...

you've forgotten the jam and clotted cream and we don't have them for tea at tea time

You should know, America's full of 'em, mainly Germanic I believe

Huddled around their little overtaxed, re-run plagued TV sets, mouths watering for yet another morsel of potential American bashing drivel that oozes out....

 

[Rich]

re-run plagued TV sets,

All American sit coms with their accompanied canned laughter

For once I agree with him! But where did the Benny Hill Show originate?

 

[Rich]

But where did the Benny Hill Show originate?

That laughter was genuine and we're not allowed to watch it

 

[MrsGorilla]

I agree too. Very few shows on TV are good enough to watch these days.

Why not?

 

[NJudson]

I agree too. Very few shows on TV are good enough to watch these days.

Define "good enough". God knows how many people still watch crap like Survivor and Fear Factor. However, I personally equate those types of shows with about the same level of quality as a 3 week old brick of spam that a 3 pack a day smoker uses to put their butts out on.

 

[Kraj]

Was there any point in history when there have been a high number of shows worth watching?

What about the Andy Griffith show?

 

[KenHigg]

What about the Andy Griffith show?

Or "My Three Sons"?
