Countdown 40th anniversary special last night said 3 million people watched the program each Sunday in 1974 and the first few years. The population was about 14-15 million people. Now that was true nationwide viewership with all the rural ratings as well.

The grand final this year didnt average 3 mil in the 5 capital citiies ratings ie about 13.5 mil people.

When Gough died Paul Keating said there was an Australia before Gough and a different one after. Watching that Countdown special I reckon there was an Australia before colour TV and a different one after it. Coundown took full advantage of colour, the new open vibe of the Gough era and by taping the show on Saturday and flying tapes around the country overnight - for Sunday 6pm viewing it was the first true national music show and the smart bands/performers took advantage of this and the power it wiielded.. I dont think the ABC will ever have another program as powerful or influential and in particular appeal to such a big chunk of the 13-30 age group.

I'm sitting at work reading Big Footy on my phone, listening to Rush '2112' (the album), talking occasionally to one of my drivers and trying very hard to stay awake.

I like my job and the lack of stress that goes with it.

Good album, shit website.

I'm being treated for an annoying eye complaint. My ophthalmologist (eye doctor, for those who haven't just been to an eye doctor) was telling me about the medication he was prescribing and mentioned that I didn't have to worry about side effects but if I was a woman it could lead to vaginal thrush. It took all my powers of self control to not giggle - but I might have smirked. I don't know why.

Did you ask him if your missus could catch it from you?

Isn't it a train thing?

Not trains, trucks.

I was responding to Portia's post on some show, when I clicked post reply there were like a hundred posts in between popped up.

Candida question.

Candida question.

I had to google 'candida' and my suspicion that it's not Mexican for Canada was correct...

Getting into Liam Neeson movies ... watched 'walk amongst the Tombstones' ... very good ... He plays a CIA agent coaxed out of retirement.

.. so thought I'd watch both Neeson's Taken movies ... Also I liked.

Saw Walk Amongst the Tombstones a couple of weeks ago. Am usually a big fan of Neeson movies but I just found it to be boring as shit to be honest.

First Taken was good, second one...a bit too much. Now they are making a third?

My shekels are on that Eddie Eagle nonce, who used to edit every single one of his posts - regardless of content - so "reason for editing: 119 reasons" would come up.

Never mind his beloved WWT got slaughtered by 125 the year we won the big boy premiership. How was that not the murder-suicide he so richly deserved?

Probably that ****wit Subaru, he seems to take a childish delight in mentioning 119 at every opportunity.

Excuse my ignorance/obliviousness but does the GOT stand for anything?

Game of Thrones?

Game of Thrones?

That's all I could come up with, too.

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be "GOT 119?" as in "[Hey Baxter!,] GOT MILK?"

But yeah as I sent to my brethren at the time,

I'm choosing to believe he's a Thrones-loving jihadist who is numeracy-dyslexic.
