I saw Glenn Wool play at the same venue in the link – he was great.

Glenn Wool is great – very funny guy – but how can he (as he says on his website) claim to be Canadian and reject Canada's beloved crime solving German Shepherd? He is referring…

Welshman Mark Watson.

Born in Bristol of Welsh heritage. He does his standup in a Welsh accent, but seems to normally (interviews and whatnot) speak with an English accent.

You didn't root up her Blackberry did you? Personally I would have thrown it at your head and put the insurance claim form in right there for the damage someone at Vodafone did to it.

The only ink that I've found to be more of a waste to our environment than Bridget's mindless rantings is the awful 'Denise & Pebbles' in... whatever it's in – i don't…

Hardly any of it is coming to Dunedin. Even the comedy convoy skips Dunedin somehow between Christchurch, Queenstown and Invercargill

though surely that will all change with the new stadium, eh?

Is the rumour I heard true, that it can't be used for cricket?

What will they do with it…

I think first I'd rather try licking the floor of pub toilets for alcohol-infused urinal splashback before I took on the job of gossip columnist.

ur gross

Never got the hints, hardly ever knew any people in the photos.

Too many of those blind items are blind to the point of being severely disabled.

When you read something like "Which property developer's secret mistress is threatening to be secret no more?", the actual desire to know the…

Never got the hints, hardly ever knew any people in the photos. Always seemed to be the same small group of boring easties and as you say promo girls.

Last time I checked online, Saunders' column there had degenerated into idiotic…

It wasn’t a great surprise to read in the paper yesterday that Bridget Saunders’ About Town will be no more. After pretty much inventing the gossip pages for this generation ...

Which she did, actually. She was never going to be Dominic Dunne, but she did create something that became…
