ITV Drama
sponsored by Sky Broadband……….. interesting and slightly confusing.
“The ear of
the leader must ring with the voices of the people.” Unusual concept these
days! Especially in the realm of American politics. Made altogether more intriguing
by the fact it was originally said by Woodrow Wilson, the 28th
president of the United States.
CSI in one
of its varieties is apparently shown somewhere in the world all day every day,
an absolutely amazing fact and certainly not worth disputing. The one thing I
do know for sure is that the one person most grateful of this state of affairs
is the writer of the theme music for all three varieties, Pete Townshend! CSI’s
success is apparently keeping him financially in the manner to which he has
become accustomed.
Ok, now I’m
really confused – can anybody explain exactly WTF is the day celebrated this
week - International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Jeez I don’t know! However by the
end of the day and many Oooo Aaaargh’s and walk the planking phrases, I did
warm a little to it!! Captain Jack’s quote sufficed at first, “Shoot him and
cut out his tongue, then shoot his tongue! And trim that scraggly beard!” Then
remembering that there has always been different kinds of pirates to our
fictional heroes, “This is Caroline on 199, from the Mi Amigo, your all day
music station!” Though you may have to be of a certain age and upbringing to
fully appreciate that.
