Yesterday the BBC made an embarrassing apology after a debate about a
plant known as a "black man's willy" aired on Gardeners' Question
Time.

fussed about several months ago....

It would appear that (on my computer at least) Usenet has thrown some
kind of fit today, as it's suddenly started to regurgitate long
forgotten posts from months ago in a big way.

Something is afoot, certainly.

My connection to the news-server is usually non-existent between about
17:30 to about 22:45, but I've still got access at 19:00.

Perhaps it's been fixed?
