Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

Indeed I can but, and you're going to hate me for this, I wasn't old enough to learn it when it was on the TV originally. There is also a version which is sung about supporters of the 'football' team Cowdenbeath.


"They come frae near Lochgelly,
they havenae got a telly,
They're dirty and they're smelly
 The Cowden family.

 The girls all have moustaches
 They've all got nasty rashes
 And nae c**t ever washes
 The Cowden family"

Have to admit, always found this baffling both as a theme and as a hugely successful record

Premonitions of Virgin Galactic? My intro to sci-fi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ifS2nP53Zs&app=desktop
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

The best use imo of a piece of classical music on a TV series.

I recall this from the late 50's, and I'd be about 7 or so when this was on: anyone not sitting on the arm of their chair 'riding' enthusiastically is a spoilsport!
