Once upon a time I lived for seven years aboard various vessels. During that time I had neither a telephone or a television at hand. Perhaps the life I led could not facilitate them, perhaps the life I led did not require them, perhaps. Recently, at least to now, I have been without television by choice due to some turmoil surrounding myself. So up until a week ago I have not watched telly for the better part of three months. There is a saying, is there not, “you must step back to smell the roses”. I have come back to television to see and smell the utter banality of this government in action; phew!, ha,ha, ha,ha,ha! Islander.
