Errors all round and a little bland news. Oh and quite a random but interesting photo picture
Politics and teletext combine today. Exciting isn't it? I admit there two subjects unloved by most people but for you exceptions( which means your an exceptional person) I've posted a link to a the most recent statement about the digital swichover. Don't want to read it? Heres the jist. Their making "great progress." Some companies use their crappy logo. Really, cause I've never seen it. Anyone got it? 62% of homes are "enjoying" digital televison. Presumably they asked each one in person. While non-for-profit organization(The more times they say that the more suspicous I get) SwichCo, is ,er, exsisting. I knew that sevral months ago but I guess MP's find it hard to keep up with their own actions.
It's also another occasion where New Labours fabled spinning machine(not the wheel, were starting to get used to it) has let us down a bit. SwichCo. Saying that the two capitals is very New Labour. "No laws apply to us,be they grammer or international.It's also dull but trying to be interesting.
I havn't actually mentioned teletext yet. In fact since theres very few regular readers I should explain the reason I'm talking about the digital swichover is because it will spell the end of teletext(between 08-12 now. A four year margin of error?).I have to apogize for an error of my own in my last post. I claimed that the C4 text's gaming pages were called Gamestation. The same name as the ceefax service. They most certainly are not. There called the at-least-a-couple-of-letters different Gamecentral. 4 letters I count. Theres a simlar amount of animostity between them as there is between the 'Ziners and the Backchatters. C4 text is genrally more for hardcore gamers and letter writers. Bet you didn't think you could right hardcore letters?
Ceefax.tv is working again so some pictures should soon be forthcoming. Everyone should vist that site by the way. Even if your only here be accident. Everyone is. If you can't be arsed typing theres a link at the side.
For some reason everything a write is gianormas so I can't tell how much I've wrote. Most people would say one line is enough though so I'll sign off.Check for pictures soon. In fact I just found one I never put up though meant too. It was around page 700 shortly before the new motoring section appeared on C4 so it's probably some sort of test page. I'm sure it;s very are and vauble in an acution so this is very generous of me. Not really but still it's quite interesting.
