Canada

Was told by the boss that a trip to Canada is on the cards! Might be going for 2-3 weeks. Very excited and already getting far too carried away. I'm planning a trip to Niagara Falls, have got to fit in a bit of skiing of course, maybe also pop down to US for a weekend and wander around, catch a baseball game... try to get a ticket to Playbill (Billy Crystal's show on Broadway at the moment that David Letterman was going on about last week). Remember Billy Crystal? He was the guy in that film When Harry Met Nazi When Harry Met Sally.

It makes me wonder what their criteria for airing something might be!

False advertising

The National Lottery's latest ad urges us to play the lottery because "your chances of winning increase significantly if you actually play!" I somehow doubt that... My chances of winning when I don't play are zero. If I buy one ticket, my chances of winning the jackpot are one in fourteen million. Chances of winning anything at all are 54 to 1. That's not a significant increase! Anyone else think they should be done for false advertising?
