Yep, I'll take my hat off to Mr B. I hadn't seen that post, then, though

>Didn't I post that cough thing somethread else recently?

Yes Bridget, you are quite right I've just searched and found it in Q&A under "Death Obessesed" , worryingly, only late last month. Which probably accounts for my comment "for some strange reason". I remember it as an old Morecambe and Wise joke and it must have been whizzing round my head since you reminded me of it. Perhaps I can lay it to rest now, reassured that it has not been forgotten by the world!

>'News and Sport' is no longer tautologous....

I think we've been quite lucky here. We just had the news when we woke up, then an early evening 7-8pm programme which covered the main highlights. Showing our gold medal win usually takes up about ten minutes of the Olympics, so it was quite good this year to be able to fill up around an hour of airtime! I can imagine what it must have been like day in, day out.

By the way, I met a man who told us that his brother was in charge of getting the Olympic flame up to the top of the stadium (here's a comment for the boys - he needed a quick trip to the underwear shop afterwards), apparently the reason it didn't work was that so many people "phoned home" on their mobiles, just as the torch was lit, that the radio wave activity interrupted the signal to the torch mechanism and they had to physically move the whole thing on to manual overdrive. ... That was his story, anyway....

>I was going to copy and paste, but with three versions (only one of which I recognise) and other pieces besides, I thought you might prefer the whole page...

Reminds me of the story of the fellow who came home a bit tipsy. OK, not a bit tipsy, a whole LOT tipsy. He staggered into the barn and very carefully took off all his clothes before lying down in the sty with the huge sow. A couple of minutes later, he hiccups and says, "Maw, we've been married nigh onto 26 years now, and this is the first time I ever noticed you had two rows of buttons on your nightgown."
