1- I didn't go out tonight, I'm up early in the morning to move house.
2- It may become one of them 'Do you remember where you where when...' conversations in years to come.
The question I'm desperate to ask is this:
WHO GIVES A FLYING TOSS ABOUT NEWS AT TEN COMING BACK?
When you get up in the morning, you can walk to a nearby shop and buy a thing containing news, printed on paper. I think they're called 'newspapers'. You can put on the radio, and hear news bulletins every hour. You can watch the news on telly. BBC News 24 has news, guess how often? That's right...24 hours a day! I don't know if anyone still uses it, but Ceefax has news. And if you are reading this blog, you will be familiar with a thing known as the Internet! This will provide news as it happens.
So if you can make it to ten o'clock at night without finding out what's happened in the world, then you shouldn't be allowed out without a carer!
Newsreaders In The Pub
The daytime guys get to have a fairly good afternoon session on the beer. But despite our 24 hour drinking, a lot of pubs still shut at 11pm.
This means that the six o'clock news presenters get a good evening session, in the pub for seven once they've tidied up. Few beers followed by a curry.
The nine o'clock news guys get about an hour, which means a good pint intake, and a kebab on the way home.
But poor old Sir Trev knocks off at 10.35pm, which means he has to get off air, go and get his coat and get to the pub. This means he'll have to do the 'buy three at first bell' thing. Or pay to get into a club and pay inflated prices!
It's not fair, and I'll bet ITV didn't think that through!
