It was indeed a terrific show, and everyone behaved themselves quite well, aside from the bleeps which are inevitable I realize. You must consider the source- the dauntless editor did one of his own slip through, but it certainly added emphasis!
One more week and I’ll touch down in the second greatest nation on earth!
@Trekelny by”second greatest nation on earth!”you mean everywhere besideds SA because South Africa truly is the best nation on earth!?
Why do you have to bleep the language out? Is it because you have to or because you want it to be a family show?
Simon the Siamese Fighting Fish is also called the Betta fish in the US. So that’s the joke on it being used in the Win7 beta wallpaper.

A quick note, another great show… thanks. I thought you would get bleeps at discount bulk prices, seems you ran out though?
