  • Hard News: A Taxonomy of Poo,

    I didn't realise Hayward was a political scientist! What a fraud. No wonder our CRIs got in such a mess. Still, at least the guy can write.

    Sorry Craig, this time I was joking. Hence me being down wid Ali G.

  • Hard News: A Taxonomy of Poo,

    Craig, I doubt I/O needs folks to run to his defence, but your comments do tend to degenerate noticeably in taste very quickly (see above). Compared, that is, to a sample of every other PA poster.

    Is that because you is slightly rightly?

    What are the conservative or right-wing equivalent poo labels that lefties use?

    Ruthanasia

    God, is that it? I am not even sure that has any connotations, good or bad.

    Sometimes tone conveys more. My sadly deceased Granny could put so much feeling into the two words "that Miggie" that if Thatcher had been within 100 miles she would have frizzled up and dissolved into a smoking acidic puddle.

    Welcome back Danyl.

    One of the problems with Danyl's foray into blogdem is that he seems to have less time for commenting on blogs.

    To be honest, I think these comments are his true calling and blogging is for Danyl like an indie band "going commercial". His true fans reject the move.

  • Island Life: Abusage,

    In defence of cricket commentary Brian Johnston was a god with the English language. For those very few who have not heard his giggles, here's an clip:

    "and so, without further adieu"

    when the speaker is clearly unaware this is supposed to be a joke...

    So, just to tie three threads together, I notice noone boasting possession of a rhyming quantum penis.

  • Hard News: Radio Times,

    And oddly enough, it's because she is doing the same shit that used to really bug me about Plunket. The leading questions, the editorialising, the feral cluelessness where she doesn't get that barking the same question half-a-dozen times isn't going to elicit a response.

    That's spot on. Interesting that some of the best interviews on those shows have come from stand in interviewers. Worst is Plunket's "so what you're saying is..." putting words into someone's mouth that were diametrically opposed to what has just been said.

    Russell is right about your Radio spots. It's like a different Craig pops up :-)
