Finally got around to watching Ketch! And HIRO-PON Get It On
( https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/ketch_and_hiro_pon_get_it_on/ ). Really good stuff. Very, very clever. Unfortunately I fear it a bit too high-concept to make a full series.

Well, there are a couple of young 'uns.

And what's up with this missing plane? I thought planes where supposed to be able to withstand lightning strikes?!

But this is a French plane.

Awful hey? Just to be gone. :(

It's a bit bloody scarey.

Isn't that the fate of us all? To one day just be gone. With only 7000 odd posts on a comedy forum to show we were ever alive. :(

No, bits of them are floating in the Atlantic Ocean somewhere. :(

Did they find the plane?

Not yet. But they will find it. Eventually.

Last I heard they'd asked the U.S. to look at the spy satelites to see if they saw anything.

I doubt they'll find anything to be honest.

The Atlantic Ocean is massive.

And I particularly like the way the news has been focussing on the five missing Brits. As if we can't recognise it's a tragedy without the inclusion of some fellow countrymen.

From CNN: Wreckage has been found in the Atlantic Ocean that could have come from a missing Air France jet, Brazilian officials say.

Remind me not to put Nil in charge of hide and seek.
