    I'm just finishing the last pair of lemon-flavoured Alka Seltzer from a
    box. For some reason I'd kept the till receipt - April 93! 33 years old
    ... (they seemed to plink plink fizz same as ever.)

    Never make the same mistake twice...there are so many new ones to make!

    Apologies - I've had a hiatus with Thunderbird not sending or receiving
    news, and that was stuck in the drafts folder; I hadn't realised it had
    gone when I originally wrote it. (An update to TB seems to have fixed
    the problem.)

    If this power [television] is ever brought to mechanical perfection,
    there is little reason, except the desire to be gregarious, that anyone
    but a few should go in person to any place of entertainment again.
