    Not picking on you necessarily but, There’s a lot of useful information being posted in this thread lately.

    In common speech it is a useless distinction since enough people use these words interchangeably, ok? @Bob_Luken ?

    On April 18 1930, the BBC's evening news report simply said "there is no news" and then played piano music for the entire segment.

    Wish they would do that again!

    Fortunately I didn't. My son got there on time. No hangover, surprisingly. Just tired.
