Show 968 Saturday 14 February Watch today’s show at YouTube or BlipTV.
The Daily English Show started on the 3rd of April 2006. On show number 2 the news was about bananas. I drew the pictures with a black pen and some crayons. Almost 1000 shows later ... I'm still using the same crayons. Dark green and black somehow went missing. And you can see yellow is a popular colour. It must be all those banana computers. And I almost never use white. What's the point in a white crayon anyway?
This year I got a present for Valentine's Day. links

This song is very easy to understand. It’s a guy singing to a girl and telling her how much he loves her.
He sings: You have changed my lifeMore than you'll ever know
And in the chorus he sings: You’re always on my mind
On my mind or on your mind is an idiom. If something is on your mind it means you’re thinking or worrying about it a lot.
In this case, it means that he’s thinking about the girl he loves a lot.
STICK NEWS
Kia ora in Stick News today thousands of people said they would send pink panties to a group in India on Valentine’s Day.
In January about 40 men from a religious group attacked a group who were in a pub in India. They said the women in the group were violating traditional Indian values.In response to the incident, four Indian women founded a group on Facebook which attracted more than 25,000 members in a few days. They called their group a consortium of pub-going, loose and forward women and started a campaign encouraging people to send pink underwear to the religious group on Valentine’s Day.
And that was Stick News for Friday 13th of February. Kia ora.
