As promised, this morning's breakfast TV appearance. It was too complicated to get it wired up, but the director was pleased to have what is known in the trade as a 'bit of business'.
Thank you for your support. I shall wear it always. You can't be me, I'm taken
Sven Triloqvist:
I'll probably be on Finnish Breakfast TV later this week in celebration of a noted rock star's 60th birthday. It's not my choice, but I must return a favour. I thought first I would present him with a chocolate cake with a light bulb sticking in it. I'd say there's not enough room for that many candles, but it's a 60 watt bulb - and then switching the lamp on say, 'anyway, it was a good idea'. Of course I have to get this past the electrician's union. But then I thought I don't support incandescent lamps - so should I stick in a flourescent and say 'I know it's only 11 watts, but it's equivalent to 60.' I know, I know - I live a futile life... But which should I do? The neat joke or the progressive joke? I mean, with the latter, I might get a follow up question about energy. Or....I could do both. Start with the 60 watt, then pull it out and switch it for the 11 watt to make a point. Hmmm

I'd post the video except only 2 people would have the obscure language skills to understand what the tintorella di luna we are talking about, and my RW name appears on screen. You can't be me, I'm taken
