A delightful little 1968 BBC play. Broadcast live I believe. How this survived I don’t know..

If the world is round, why are the soles of our shoes flat?

Maybe it’s because we’ve been conditioned to walk on flat surfaces such as floors, pavements, road etc. Not the natural habitat of a foot. Cue Attenborough..

There’s a story about a Chinese emperor (..its always a Chinese emperor..!) about how he wanted his domain carpeted since it’s was all a tad tough on his old tootsies.
A bright spark invented sandals.

There’s one about not swatting a fly on a friends head with a hatchet too.

Let’s hope we don’t get any more strangeness on Wednesday.

Why is this shit being posted?

Conspiraloon bullshit (the Panorama doc was lambasted at the time, including by some of the scientists in it) that is positively dangerous, especially now.

Stop it.

It was the WHO connection I though of particular interest with Panorama.

I shall not ‘stop it’ sir.

I’ll take this opportunity to thank those concerned for allowing me to express myself on this forum.

I’m harmless mate.

People can make their own minds up yeh?

Were being played for a fact.

Or shall I ‘stop it?’

Votes!

I detest conspiraloon bullshit at the best of times. And this is not the best of times.

These morons kill. And talk complete shite. Use your actual brain.

I am using my brain..because if I don’t..someone else will.

You know how places have “we will not tolerate any bullying or abusive behaviour towards our staff” signs..I think the time might be ripe in some cases, not all, for us to remind retail outlets that WE the customer will not tolerate it from them either. I’m sure everyone by now has experienced some ‘friction’ at some point when out. It’s all become rather dehumanising hasn’t it?

Rich soil for narcissists.

Anyway, most of what I’ve posted of late has been from medical professions giving their thoughts on the matter.

On this particular thread it crossed my mind to get a theme going.. ‘when the BBC got something right’..(nearly)
