That was actually on the news a few months ago on this programme on the BBC News channel called Oddbox.

'Tis indeed a top story, but more like a top story of yesterday than today. (Though I suppose the thread title doesn't make it clear _which_ day.)
In other historical duck news, my dad, in a fit of nostalgia for _my_ childhood, spontaneously bought the DVDs of Trumpton and Camberwick Green. I enjoyed the episode 'Cuthbert's Day Off' in which he goes to feed the ducks in the park and Brian Cant sings a song about why ducks are so great. Unfortunately, the fire chief surprises Cuthbert from a bush and he ends up in the water. The ducks find it highly amusing.

I was reading in todays paper that Arnold Schwarzenegger has been hiding a hidden message in a letter he has sent out. The letter reads like the typical letter the governor of a state would send somebody but if you read the first letter of each line downwards it spells out the phrase 'fuck you!'

But... That phrase IS what the typical letter the governor of a state would send somebody. So at least Arnold is being honest  But more likely one of his staff are having fun, since these letters are never actually written by the person signing them... Pete |

You seem to have Star Fleet running through your blood! The last time I checked Patrick Stewart wasn't in Star Fleet.

Patrick Stewart played Captain Jean-Luc Picard, a Starfleet officer, in the popular TV series 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. I know the difference between Starfleet and Star Fleet (sadly).  Martin |

That would explain it then. I've never really been interested in Star Trek that's why I didn't know that.

I was only really into it for the duration of Star Trek - The Next Generation. Today I bought the one remaining season on DVD that I didn't have (namely the first season) in honour of Sir Patrick. I thought at one stage I wouldn't bother with all seven, but seems I was wrong.
I'm a big PS fan - seen him on the theatre stage five times now.
Status Quo fans should also approve of the New Year's Honours.

I wonder what a UFO parking on Mars would do to that clock.

I haven't been bothered to find this on the net but in todays paper there is a story saying that the Jobcentre refused to put a job from an agency on their boards because it said it required 'reliable workers.' The Jobcentre claimed that this job discriminated against unreliable workers and as such they refused to advertise it.

And now we have another news story that I've only just caught on the TV. Royal Mail boss Adam Crozier has been signed up to be the Director General (or whatever the job title is) of ITV. He's turned Royal Mail into a right mess just so that he can pocket several thousand pounds and now he's going to do the same for ITV!

ITV can hardly be made any worse!! True. I don't even watch ITV anymore. I used to watch it only for the Grand Prix coverage but now that the BBC has got that back I don't even waste my time watching the channel. The evening schedule is just a non-stop barrage of soaps and reality TV shows. |

Spend an hour today (Sunday 31 January) seeing what birds come to your garden and tell the RSPB. Half an hour in, I've just got three blackbirds and a robin so far. Anyone do better? Martin |
