Thursday Thoughts
1. Trans TV are looking for an expatriate audience to watch their show
Empat Mata on Tuesday, April 15th from 21.30 - 23.00 at Studio 9 TRANS 7, Gedung TRANS TV, Jalan Kapt. P. Tendean no 12-14 Mampang, Jakarta Selatan.
The theme of the show is "I Love Indonesia" and is for expatriates or artists who are living in Indonesia. If you are interested in watching this show, please let
Dewi Handayani know if you can go.
I can't, even though, as a glasses wearer, I was known at school as Four Eyes.
2. We were expecting the judge in our legal case - see
this blog for background info - to make his final decision today, so we dutifully rolled up at the Industrial Relations Court at 11.30 this morning because Thursday is the only day of the week that such decisions and other court hearings are heard.
And today was the day that our judge was summoned to a meeting with his boss elsewhere in Jakarta. Not Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or tomorrow, Friday (a half day anyway). There were loads of lawyers (and clients) wasting their time until 5pm, when they were told to return next week.
Justice
will be served, but not in our time.
3. From the
Guardian Football Rumour Mill (Monday 8th April) and posted on
Dr. Kish's site.
When Rodney Trotter gets married in Only Fools and Horses it comes to light that his middle name is Charlton, setting up this brilliant set-piece:
Del: "Mum was a big fan."
Marlene: "Charlton Heston?"Del: "No, Charlton Athletic."For nigh on fifty years, it's really pissed me off that Mr. Heston and Messrs.
Bobby and Wee Jackie are what folk think of when Charlton gets mentioned. Try googling images of 'Charlton' and count the number of b & w images of the '66 World Cup you're offered.
