Series Link And That Australian Search Explained

One of the good things about personal hard drive recorders or what ever you want to call them, is the series link button.

This means I can watch one show and then programme it for the whole series at the touch of a button. So I’ve been watching a lot of Mash. This was on the whole time I was a kid and although I watched it then, there are still loads of episodes I haven’t seen. And if I had I’d know.

Hawkeye Pierce was a role model for me as a kid. He was a popular loner in the face of adversity and that appealed to me. In fact, I wanted to be a comedian/surgeon.

Thanks to reader Abigail from Australia for clearing up why I got so many searches about how many ADHD sufferers it takes to change a lightbulb. Turns out that a newspaper down there had that as a crossword clue. I must love the internet, that is if love is defined by being more fascinated by something the more you learn about it. It’s cool to think that a hundred people reading a paper on their commute are led back here.
