I noticed recently on Ceefax news that Tessa Jowel(Culture minister I think)has released a statement about the digital switchover. I read it and I can only assume it's being released under the same philopsy that allows bands to re-release their early singles when they get famous. It's almost exactly the same and I'm not going to bother linking to it. TV chiefs(mmm, tabloidy)got all this in person because I survey showed that they were left confused about the switchover, when it was and what exactly is happening. I would marvel at that clear ineptitude and lack of intelligence but with programmers like Celebrity Wrestling, Celebrity Shark Bait and Celebrity Sky Diving(not sure of real title but thats the concept) on ITV and No sex please were teenagers and Bring Your Huspand to Hell(sorry, heel) that has already been done.

I've been noticing increased creativity over at Bamber Boozler. After being very simlar for about 7 years he, or rather his creators, have been making things more interesting. Recents highlights include upside down bamber, a picture of the creators of Bamber(badly drawn using teletext in a reveal at the end)and less recently a green suit on St Patricks day. There are more but my memory is, to put it bluntly, shit.

If anyone seen my not that well executed attempt to start a world teletext day early this year you may well have reason to doubt this, but I assure you it is entirly true. There is indeed a National Teletext Month. Or rather their was in 1982. It probably hasn't been celebrated alot since. But this year it shall. God knows how but somehow. If you still don't believe heres a link to the exact page http://teletext.mb21.co.uk/timeline/oct81/rt-article.shtml. There ya go.
