Mosquito in Ireland

The weirdest thing last night, was in bed reading my Sunday Times magazines and heard this thin buzzing noise near my ear. Sounded just like a mosquito, so I hopped up and after two gos I managed to swat it. And, the body looks like that of a mosquito too.

Now I don’t know, but I think that a mosquito in Ireland in November is kind of unlikely, so I guess it must have popped out of the ST magazine (hopping a ride from wherever they were printed) :( Any entomologists out there?

ITV3 Launched Last Night

I watched with baited breath as the on-screen clock ticked down to the launch of ITV’s latest digital channel ITV3 last night. I have to say it was one of the most anti-climactic moments in TV history. Without so much as a hullabaloo, the announcer said welcome to ITV3 and then it was straight into the murder mystery Rebus. I believe that the recent demise of Granada Plus was linked in some way to the creation of ITV3, so maybe it was more a rebranding than a launch, but even so, couldn’t they have mustered a bit more enthusiasm?
