Children's Playground in Golden Gate Park (10 minutes from my house) is the oldest public playground in the country.
Is that the one we went to, Hec?
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Yup. Burrell probably went to another one, though. Since Children's Playground isn't downtown. But there are a lot of playgrounds around the city.

Australians, I found out some stuff about the new Denton show, but was then sworn to secrecy.
It's going to be chatty/interview based, not a variety show like Money Or The Gun, as I understand it. And there's going to be a shooting of a pilot in Sydney on the 12th of March, for which tickets are being given away right now.

A question for the UKers: Someone just sent me a vacancy for a contract as an Assistant Archivist with the National Theatre Archives. I'm considering applying. But how good/crappy is 19,000 Pounds for a salary? I know the cost of living in London is insane, is that doable?

It's liveable, but not good. After tax that's about £1500 a month. You can get a room in a houseshare in an OK bit of London (I think) for £500 or so. Then you'll need £80 or so for a travelcard. Actually, it's a fairly good salary for a public sector job.
