BLUE!

The world is a very odd place without the colour blue. Everything looks red and green. Most bizarre. You don't realise how much you miss it until it's back.

Our TV feed did odd things last night, meaning we had no blue colour. Watching 'Strictly Come Dancing' with no blue is a tad random. After all, half the fun is commenting on the dresses...

However what was more weird, and still on the same theme of Blue, is that watching William Hague this morning on Sunday am he sounded sensible and normal. The conservatives seem to be sounding sensible. Not that sensible but more so than in the past. Scary stuff.

I'm having similar issues with my printer.

Did you know that the set for Strictly Come Dancing is actually mostly grey? It's only the lighting which makes it look red/blue

(oh the fun things you learn on a tour of BBC TV centre!)

It's really grey? Another illusion shattered...

Mutton dressed as lamb, eh? Well I suppose it's in keeping with the show.

All verification codes are rude, anyway. You're not trying to tell me that "swhcaav" doesn't paint a vivid picture are you?

We don't get blue or red most of the time. Or anything apart from BBC1 come to that!

But it should all be fixed after Christmas as we have retreived the aerial cable from the neighbours, and the landlord has promised to drill a hole in the wall for it!

Apparently most BBC sets for quiz shows etc. aren't that colourful until the lights get put on them, so it's not just Strictly Come Dancing dressed as lamb. I guess it means that they can change their minds as to what colour they will be before it happens.

(It's about a tenner for a tour of the BBC TV Centre where you get to learn this and such wonderful other titbits as the fact that they paint the floor for nearly every programme they film there. And then take the paint off.. in a matter of hours)
