Adverts, the Grand National and the Shakespeare Meme
Adverts
It must be said, the adverts have been getting good again recently. My mother's favourite is this Dulux advert:
Matters are made more amusing that my bedroom at home is that shade of yellow.
While I really like this BT advert which, annoyingly, I can't embed - http://youtu.be/BOxj69KNuC8
Again, possibly funnier if you've ever been over-the-phone tech support for parents. Also, I'll put money on it being baby photos that his Mum has just put up.

The Grand National
The BHA will undoubtedly come up with better suggestions than this, but my suggestions for making the National safer are:
1) reduce the maximum number of runners to 30, which should lead to less crowding over the jumps, hopefully making it easier for horses to avoid each other.
2) if a horse unseats its rider before the race, or runs loose for any other reason, the horse doesn't get to run in the race.
