Old fashioned clean jokes

Not really used here Stanley as they were only any any good for local VHF reception where there was a very local TV transmitter. Much more prevalent over in the USA. Here in the UK for terrestrial TV we had a much more organised system of main high power transmitters and smaller local relays working from them that covered most of the UK on UHF. You were on a hiding to nothing before that with VHF coverage which still required roof mounted arrays, in most cases more than one if you wanted ITV as well as BBC. Band 1 Ch2 for the BBC (a large crossed single element dipole) and a separate channel 9/12 antenna (usually 2x bayed short Yagi arrays) for ITV. All changed with the advent of UHF, everything went onto multi element, (and variations of) Yagi design aerials. All change again with the advent of satellite TV, one dish antenna which got considerably smaller as the technology developed.

This, in response to the orange knob imposing tariffs on an island populated by penguins, made me smile

There are hundreds of Penguin memes around at the moment, and quite few Seal ones as well, quite apt and amusing. No more than the moron deserves.

Indeed, the world has gone mad. I see the Falkland Isles have been hit as well.

This appears on the front page of today's Metro newspaper. An AI generated image showing Trump, Musk and Vance making Nike shoes. China created the image and put it out as a meme on the web. The message to Americans is obvious - you'll all have to make your own stuff now!
