Has anything happened in the last two months?

On July 02 I posted about how we had lost TV reception with the erection of scaffolding behind our house. Well the enforced experiment is coming to an end. This Thursday the scaffolding will be removed and once again our satellite dish will have an un-obscured line of sight with the appropriate geo-synchronous satellite.

This will be almost exactly two months without seeing a single TV picture. Has anything happened in the world in these last two months?

It brings to mind the movie Goodbye Lenin

Now should the kids be re-introduced to the medium slowly, can they overdose on it or will they even notice if I don't tell them?

    Hey, Bobby, mate, glad to hear you're TV-less.

    I am kind of feeling for you, though as it's about to come back.... Let me give you a couple of headlines and hopefully you'll leave the scaffolding on for a few more months:

    - Gerrard 'Distressed' After Collision

    - Outrage Over Escaped Chimp Shooting

    - Bid To Stub Out Smoking Among Teens

    Enough? Now, to quote, RHCP: "Throw away your television" and live a happy life....

    Have fun!
    G :)
