There's a rather bizarre British sitcom by that name just started on Trio http://www.triotv.com/
Is it worth persuing?

The Shrubbery

Gosho's place for Bushisms and... suchlike 
Heard from the President's lips today : "Free nations don't export terrorism".
Umm... the Irish Free State Mr President? Okay, I know the IRA isn't state sponsored, but that's my point - it's never quite as simple, never quite as balck and white as Shrub likes to make it out to be. The voters still eat it up though

So, on the BBC America schedule for tonight I see 'Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)'. Woohoo I think to myself - I used to love watching that 
But instead of Mike Pratt and Kenneth Cope I see Vic and Bob And Tom Baker and Derek Jacobi 
Woss going on?

Ironic, that when vegetarian organisations are telling us how the South American ecosystem would be so much better off if we ate less meat because of the amount of land used for grazing cattle, which mostly get turned into mince for burgers in fast food joints, it turns out that now South American wildlife is being threatened by cultivation of the soya bean - one of the most useful and nutritious plants there is and a staple of any good vegetarian diet, so that it can be used in... animal feed.
What a crazy world we're living in.

I reckon at least some of us reading this have seen the second Back to the Future film - the one where old Biff takes a book of sports results back to past and gives them to himself as a young man, who then goes on to make a fortunes from betting on those results.
When I hear stories like the one above - and they crop up with some regularity, I can't help feeling that the bloke who placed all those bets must have had some kind insider information from the future I mean, what are the odds?

There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho
