The Man With The 7 Second Memory
Anybody else watching this?
Poor guy has no recollection of anything that has happened in his life, anything that he's done. Can't even watch a game of rugby or cricket other than for the immediate moment because he can't remember the preceeding events of the game.
This was somebody who was a music producer for Radio 3 until he was taken ill with a virus. Makes me realise that we should enjoy the moment-every moment!

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The handler of the Pennsylvania
groundhog known as Punxsutawney Phil, used in traditional lore
to determine how soon spring will arrive, plans to retire today
to make way for a younger successor, the Wall Street Journal
said.
Bill Deeley, 56, and an undertaker by trade, has for 15
years served as the man attired in a top hat and tuxedo who
takes Phil out of his box on Feb. 2 each year to see if he can
still see his shadow, the Journal reported.
Some 12,000 to 15,000 spectators and media gather annually
in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to attend the ceremony ever since
it was popularized in the 1993 film ``Groundhog Day,'' the
Journal reported.
