A TERRITORY man has bought new meaning to the phrase daytime telly. It was a great day to enjoy the sun yesterday and enterprising local Robert Ahwong, 64, has been making the most of it in the middle of Palmerston's Goyder Square.Mr Ahwong has been keeping shoppers and office workers agog in the past couple of days by plugging his television into a power outlet on a street lamp -- right in the middle of the busy precinct."I've got the best lounge room in the world,'' he said.The long-grasser had found himself in a spot of difficulty earlier this week when the generator for his TV broke.No worries mate.He popped his 74cm screen, video player and extension cord into his Coles shopping trolley, chucked in a couple of videos -- Men in Black and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets -- and wheeled down to the square."I bring my little TV down and sit down and have a little sleep,'' he said.The Borroloola man was yesterday settling back watching a re-run of SeaChange, starring David Wenham and Sigrid Thornton, with 28-year-old nephew Ian Byres, fromDaly River. The girls from the Elders real estate office just next door took a shine to their mobile couch potato andran over a bag of hotbuttered popcorn.Property consultant Trish McClelland said the looks of passing pedestrians was a "hoot''."Some joined in and watched telly with him -- some of the kids -- he'd have a chat and a natter with them,'' she said."It was quite nice to watch, and no one was going to move him because he wasn't upsetting anyone."It is just so uncanny -- it can only happen up here.''
