    Yeah, have you ever noticed that anyone with talkback on always feels compelled to have an excuse "....I was just changing channels...." etc

    Wiseacre - there's a word a don't hear every day usage, must be something the old timers used to say... :spudwhat:

    You're getting as bad as Dangerous

    From Queen st to the bridge would've been pretty impressive to see and even better to be involved in. Missed the news coverage though.
