Mt Albert Footpath.
Concrete evidence
"This footpath in Mt Albert was 'closed for 12 weeks' for new lines and new pathways," writes Andrew. "What a spectacular result ... And then they built the new roads through the Mt Albert shops. I am positive they have a comedian working in the town planning department."
Bert & Ernie's home truth
After years of speculation about the sexuality of Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie, one of the show's former writers has come out publicly saying that the puppet pair, who shared a bedroom, were more than just friends. Former writer Mark Saltzformer told Queerty: "I remember one time that in a column from the San Francisco Chronicle, a preschooler in the city turned to mom and asked 'are Bert & Ernie lovers?' And that, coming from a preschooler, was fun.
And that got passed around, and everyone had their chuckle and went back to it. And I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert & Ernie, they were. I didn't have any other way to contextualise them." Sesame Workshop however wouldn't concede, tweeting this statement: "As we have always said, Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves.
