Thanks for the advice :-) Is that why Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters gained such a reputation for their intoxicating effect?

Well, that and the tremendous amount of alcohol...

... I must make another pitcher of those one day!

Hmmm .......... might that explain the slightly strange burning smell that I detected?

Oh, what the hell! ...... It was worth reversing the spycam feed for the brief glimpse of the very fetching top that BK was wearing!

I wouldn't complain too much if I were you.

If they really wanted to drive people away then in Australia they would replay 'Today in Parliament' and we could hear the biggest group of whiners and whingers ever collected in one spot. I believe UK broadcast from Westminster are also available.

I would also like to ask if the degraded speakers mentioned earlier are any worse than the ones at BR stations in London in the late 70s/early 80s when I lived there. They could have been speaking Russian (or Welsh) backwards for all I know.

That wasn't me, that was my pet kangaroo.

I'm the one in the jar.

I am shaken by that admission, jarred beyond belief.

Well, it was a very fetching top that your kangaroo was wearing then (and that would explain the hairy armpits).
