Sounds like Not The 9 O'clock News

"Election officials in Zimbabwe say final results from the one-candidate presidential election have been delayed " - BBC news web site, 29 June 2008

When I was at school, one of my favourite extra curricular activites, after football, was drama. We even got to study it, part time, and we learnt about "the theatre of the absurd". Non-sensical situations and hilarious characters combined to create a late surrealist theatre that was dominated by Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, and my favourite, Eugene Ionesco.

We devoured plays like The Dumb Waiter, Waiting for Godot, The Bald Prima Donna and The Hothouse.

Despite their fantastical plays, all these playwrights declared that every day life and speech was much worse that anything depicted in their plays.

None would be surprised to see the above quote on the BBC web site as the first item of news.

I usually do not leave a lot of responses, but i did a few searching and wound
up here "Sounds like Not The 9 O'clock News". And I do have 2 questions for you if
it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it look as if like some of these
comments come across like they are written by
brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other online sites, I'd
like to keep up with anything new you have to post.
Would you list of the complete urls of all your communal pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
