In London there is a street named Westminster Drive. I've heard it on the radio called West Minister Drive.

I've seen a few of that series around London. I'd have loved to be next in line when they issued 799.

I grew up with CKNX TV. That was our only channel. But I was too young to really know anything about their business affiliations.

They used to produce a lot of their own programs live. One I remember was called Circle 8 Ranch. It was a weekly show featuring a local, country music band and guest performers from around the area. One of the show's sponsors was a brand of workwear. I don't recall the name. Each week they would demonstrate the strength and ruggedness of the clothes. Four guys from the band would play tug of war with a pair of the overalls (two on each leg.)

One week the seam did rip and the four guys ended up on the floor laughing.

In their early days, CKNX also ran a lot of old movies from the 30s and 40s.

Just one more political comment, then you can ban me if you like.

After spending the last 3 1/2 months at our place in Florida, we're heading home this weekend. And we may not be coming back here. We.ve already decided that if these people elect Donald Trump again, we're outa here.

Anybody in the market for a nice double wide in Florida?

I recall it was on Sunday afternoon.

I don't mean childrens programming Just TV in general.

I was about ten years old when we got our first TV and we only got one channel.

I liked adventure shows like Cannonball. The show was about two truckers, Mike and Jerry, who got into an adventure on every trip. Another great, adventure show was Sea Hunt, with Lloyd Bridges.

Another one I liked, although not adventurist was a show called The Millionaire. Every week, on the show, a multi- billionaire would anonymously give a cheque for $1M to a stranger. In those days, being a millionaire was only a fantasy to dream about. Today, just about anyone who owns their home is a millionaire.

The makers of those old programs were very disciplined. Whatever the situation in the show, it was resolved in 30 minutes. Today, it would have to be a two hour production or maybe a mini-series.

The Simpson trial was a clear demonstration of the unreliability of DNA evidence. DNA said he was guilty. Turns out he was innocent.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.  

When I was about 10, I got a crystal radio kit for Christmas. The first station I ever got on it was WOWO, pounding in like a local.

One of my favourites was the time BBC World Service led off the newscast with the news that Big Ben was to be replaced by a digital clock.

The only visual I see on my radio is the number 680.

This is the board that believes that talk show hosts don’t deserve to spend Christmas with their families so of course no one should have fun on St. Patrick’s Day either. It’s quite the place.

If people want to get pissed up and act like fools let them go ahead. It's nothing to me. Just don't expect me to participate. There might be 364 days in the year when I could do that. But not in a silly costume on March 17.
 

I once went to a bar in Collingwood, not even realizing it was St Patricks day or the significance of the day. I asked for a beer and, when she set it down in front of me it was green. I got up  and walked out without even touching it.

I should have suspected something when the place was full of drunks in the afternoon. They celebrate the life of their Patron Saint by going out and getting pissed up.

Will that be the kind of reporting where we only see the reporter's reflection through the side mirror on the vehicle?
