That Was The Week That Was, also known as TW3, was a satirical television comedy programme on BBC Television in 1962 and 1963. It was devised, produced and directed by Ned Sherrin and presented by David Frost. The programme was groundbreaking in lampooning the establishment. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was initially supportive, chastising the Postmaster General Reginald Bevins for threatening to "do something about it". During the Profumo affair, he became one of the targets for derision. Cast members included cartoonist Timothy Birdsall, political commentator Bernard Levin, and actors Lance Percival, who sidelined in topical calypsos, many improvised to suggestions from the audience, Kenneth Cope, Roy Kinnear, Willie Rushton, Al Mancini, Robert Lang, Frankie Howerd, David Kernan and Millicent Martin. The last two were also singers and the programme opened with a song – That Was The Week That Was – sung by Martin to Ron Grainer's theme tune and enumerating topics in the news. Off-screen script-writers included John Albery, John Betjeman, John Bird, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Peter Cook, Roald Dahl, Richard Ingrams, Gerald Kaufman, Frank Muir, Denis Norden, Bill Oddie, Dennis Potter, Eric Sykes, Kenneth Tynan and Keith Waterhouse. At the end of each episode, Frost would usually sign off with "That was the week, that was." At the end of the final programme he announced "That was That Was The Week That Was...that was." After two successful series in 1962 and 1963, the programme did not return in 1964, an election year, as the BBC felt the show's political material could compromise the channel's impartiality. The show was the last of the BBC's Saturday night, and often under- or overran as cast and crew worked through the material as they saw fit. For the first three editions of the second series in 1963, the BBC attempted to limit the team by scheduling repeats of The Third Man after the programme, so that they could not overrun. Frost took to reading synopses of the plots of Third Man at the end of each TW3, meaning there was little point in watching. The BBC dropped the repeats and TW3 was left open-ended.

Mortgage rates are expected to keep dropping in anticipation of the Federal Reserve meeting in the last week of April, as a result of extremely low builder and buyer confidence in the market, and extremely weak housing starts.

Aimed at small or home offices and organizations that are looking for a method of binding a few dozen or so booklets a week, The DFG Wire 1000 offers the user 3:1 pitch hole punching and three different binding styles at a reasonable price.
Strengths:
At a rate of twenty five sheets per lift, the Wire 1000 has a very good punching capacity, especially for a machine at this price point.

November 05, 2009
“Lose weight in a week” and “click to win $100000”. Confused? Well, these are the subject lines of some of the mails that enter our mailbox and, most of the time, are nothing but a source of virus. After all why all of a sudden someone would be so kind to offer me so much money? The main idea behind these exciting but overly unrealistic mails is to coax us to open the mail attachment, which would contain the virus.
