Reference :- Scientists are shocked by the rate of the ice melt on Eagle Island in the Antarctic.

Reference :-   Eagle Island looks rather bald right now , and devoid of ice .  The rate of ice loss there has tripled over the past five years .  Sky News weather expert , Rowan Dean will have an explanation .

Rowan , for a young chap you certainly  bristle with confident authority .   I like the way you sneer at the scientists , and do so  without appearing bitter about the fact that your own qualifications don't include much in the way of recognised training .   I guess that's why you prefer to interview the other Sky News Anchors , who share your views , and your level of training . 

 Anyway Rowan , my son , Ken Junior , has pointed out that the ice in some place called Eagle Island  ( in the Antarctic ) is melting faster than a dollop of butter on a hot BBQ plate .   Clearly that is just a local anomaly which I am sure you can readily explain without resorting to any tedious use of scientific jargon  .   Science has it's place .  But as we grown ups know , though science  often sounds good
 " in theory " it takes a practical chap like you to expose it's foolishness.

Since it won't take long for you to clear that up for us , I have another question for you.
A mate of mine , Harry , has been getting a lot of headaches lately .  At first we thought it was that bad batch of rum we brewed a few months ago ,which seemed a trifle strong if you ask me .  I gave my share to Ken junior's mate , Monte ( the motorcyclist )  and after he leaned off the carburettor his
Yamaha ran like a dream on the stuff.   But Harry drank his .

The specialist in the big smoke reckons the rum has nothing to do with Harry's headaches .  He reckons he has a leptomeningeal metastasis from an anaplastic pilocytic astrocytoma.  Harry has been booked in for surgery and doesn't want to go , so I suggested he get a second opinion .

So Rowan , could you tell me if you would recommend surgery or something else for one of these brain tumour things ?    These brain scientists probably get carried away at times , and a nice practical assessment by somebody of intellect who has not been indoctrinated in one of those leftie infested universities would be invaluable .

 You might need to consult the stars or a homeopath or something , so I don't expect a quick reply .
 However , try to make it this week,  since the doctors say Harry's middle meningeal artery might rupture and kill him if they don't operate soon .      I hope I got all the spelling right.

Your comrade , Ken
