Another busy week in the studio culminated in a news item about a plane crash in northern England. It was probably taken from an authentic TV or radio report. Except that...... well, at the end they grafted in what I assume was a gloss about the local history of the area in which the crash happened. It really didn't fit very well.
"The pilot was in constant radio contact with an ancient Roman fort."
Now, in any other week, that would surely have taken the prize, but this week..... the draw prizes at the Sichuan Earthquake benefit gig at Room 101 on Thursday were impressively tacky, "jeweled" powder compacts. These items were triumphs of kitsch; but when I noticed the 'brand name' on the box, I just cracked up - Swanky Russian Craft.
