Aaargh, we've all been struck by the flu!

Aaargh, we've all been struck by the flu! It wouldn't be in the interests ofour recovery to go, and best not to spread it amongst the surviving fen.

Garry, Rob, Elaine are all sick, and I am recovering. I will let Poss and
Laura and Andrew know. :-(

To this end Rob and I will not be going to the Quiz Night tomorrow. No gaming either, I'm afraid. I suspect we will be huddling over Days of Wonder, Yucata.de etc.

Let me know if you want to blow things up with tanks on Friday night, Garry.

So you've all seen this, right?

Fend for yourself food tonight, folks. Would appreciate it if you could keep the politics to a minimum.

You won't see this ad on Channel 10, 7 or 9. Perhaps you'd like to see it here.

You won't see this ad on Channel 10, 7 or 9. Perhaps you'd like to see it here.

GetUp says

"Channel 10 said outright on the phone that they wouldn't run the ad because it criticises another media outlet. Lachlan Murdoch is on the company's board. We're sure the two are totally unrelated.

Channel 7 refused the ad because "the creative execution was considered distasteful and potentially offensive to our audience, so we have decided to make a stand." So noble. We created a new version of the ad with the 'offensive' bits blurred out. They didn't respond.

Channel 9 at least approved the ad, and ran it for four days. In fact, 615,800 people have already seen it on 9 across Brisbane. On Monday, they pulled the ad, and blamed it on a "coding error," saying it never should have run. Whoopsadaisey."
