Finding the time and presence of mind to blog about something has become quite difficult recently. I've either been away from my computer, or just to tired to write two sentences without getting writers block. Somehow now I feel like I can take on the challenge so here's my best attempt.

First, some long awaited cynisism. ;)

 
So the 'finale' of Top of the Pops came and went. An aged Jimmy Saville was seen fumbling about back stage looking for the off switch. As it all went dark Sir Jimmy poignantly shook his head and walked away. Yep, seems final to me... however... "as it 'appens"... that off switch is a bit dodgy and is liable to flick on again at any time. In an interview broadcast later a big boss at the BBC confirmed there would be a Christmas special as usual leaving me with the feeling that Aunty Beeb's left hand doesn't know what Aunty Beeb's other hand is doing... and vice versa. Further evidence of this, it would appear, comes with the show producers, who seemed to be oblivious of any problems before the show was announced to be axed, seemed to think it'd be back on our screens properly in a couple of years. So I await in eager anticipation of what they'll do next, all the time repeatedly checking TV listings just in case the BBC suddenly put it back on air and hope no one notices.

On a more sincere note, work continues on the 'My Family' guide, even though the BBC catalogue is still off line (resists temptation to jump cynically back on his anti-BBC hobby horse) lots of information is still being added to this guide and a significant turn around in the quality of information it gives is, I'm proud to say, being seen. A massive percentage of the credit for this goes to a recently joined user; layle1 who's input and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks layle1!

Auugh, writers block! Sorry, that's it, I've conked out, that's about all I can manage for now.

Anyway, I hope everyone else is well and having a great time in whatever they're doing!

Pete.
