Sniffle sniffle cough cough
November 23rd, 2007
So I’m back one night and my body says to itself ‘well you enjoyed your time away, now I’m going to lay down my arms and surrender to the flu that everyone around you has had.’
For the past 24 48 hours I’ve been sick as the proverbial dog and having trouble focusing long enough to put finger to keyboard.
Still sick this evening but have a number of cold and flu drugs coursing through my veins which I hope will keep me upright long enough to be able to do some of the stuff I need to (which includes building some IKEA furniture - oh the humanity).
Whilst we were away Tracey and I happened to catch a couple of episodes of Jerry Springer on the in-house pay TV. Apparently late night pay TV is almost as bad as late night free to air TV.
Now Jerry has never claimed that his show was quality but I don’t know, it seems to have gone downhill… further downhill. Granted these are older episodes (2004 or so), but they used to actually argue on there, now they strip down, try and smack each other and scream swear words which are beeped out so it is fairly unwatchable even from a low brow perspective.
I hope in the past couple of years the show has gone back to its roots of red necks trying to solve their problems or shocking the viewers although I now read that Steve has left the show.
We’re also worried about the audience and the elaborate chanting and rules (Jerry beads????) that they have - I hope that they’re briefed beforehand.
The only other thing I can’t understand is how it still gets people on. I tell you what, if anyone ever rang me and said hey would you like to be on the Springer show I’m pretty certain I’d be suspicious.
Sniffle - time to go stretch out on my newly built bed.

I think it’s been ages since I saw Jerry Springer. Must’ve been at least 6 years ago when it was a big hype (at least in Europe).
As kids (..only 23 now..but hey..) we only liked because of the fighting and beeped out cursing haha.

Arjan - kids indeed! There is some sort of court case going on right now in the UK over the Springer opera (?!?) - I don’t know I can’t be bothered to go over and read about it so at least there is still some controversy going on in Europe for him.

Oh Ian don’t be so shocked some of the best furniture came from IKEA - mind you it can’t be beat for bookcases (which we require a LOT of!)
