For some reason, TLW & I sat up for quite a bit last evening watching the operations in Chile with interest.

It’s one of those things – there’s actually only about 5 minutes worth watching in every hour of coverage, and the poor BBC bod was repeating everything he could on an eight minute cycle, but it was very difficult to stop watching. So we dozed on and off, checking how things were progressing and then napping for a bit longer. Someone on Facebook then gave us the perfect analogy for things: Sky News’ counter (0 out of 33 saved) was in fact identical to the counter of Lemmings. And by the time the first guy emerged we were almost casting round the screen for the >> button…

Not as much as the poor miners and their families would have been. obviously. But still.
