Has the News gone party already?

Floods, earthquakes, lack of snow on the mountains... and after the break, how to pour the perfect Guinness.

Yep, it's party time in Vancouver!

The CBC news had all the serious stuff out of the way last night - quite the accomplishment in less than half an hour (we like the shorter half-hour versions of the news on the CBC, less repeats that way) - so they went for the party aspect of what's happening in the Irish pavilion.

Unless the end of the world - currently scheduled for Dec 21, 2012 - comes early during the Olympic Games, I don't think we'll be having too much serious news broadcast around here!

No worries though, switching over to the BBC World News will always be an option if we want a reality break...... Nah
