    I've just watched Sister Boniface - came on after the news (so 14:00
    today, Friday 2025-8-22; almost certainly on iPlayer). It featured a
    very tongue-in-cheek children's TV show called Jolly Roger, with two
    male and one female presenters and a martinet producer - sound familiar?
    Ok, the programme pet was a parrot rather than a dog.

    Anyway, members of this 'group could have fun looking at the cameras,
    monitors, etc. - not too hard, as it isn't meant to be serious! (The
    pictures on the monitors were obviously photoshopped in [or whatever the
    term is for moving inserts], for example) used. I was amused (and this I
    think highlights the whimsical nature (of the series in general, and I'd
    say this episode in particular!) that in the cast list in the credits,
    the first named was the parrot.

    I used to dream of the day when linux was as stable as windows. Never
    did I imagine that parity would be achieved by windows declining into
    the chaos that engulfs and stifles linux.
