This is damnation with faint praise, but Coddington and Matt McCarten are a marginally more palatable than the Sunday Star-Times' answer to Dumb and Dumber – Matthew Hooten and Chris Trotter. Sorry, but when you'll print an apologia for election fraud (Trotter) followed by an equally bizarre call for a…

Eye-time is too precious, that's why I'm not going to read it. The whole world and it's keyboard, screen, paper, what-have-you wants these eyes and I don't give them lightly.
I always try to consider this when I post.

I'm new to acerbic commenting on comments made about columnists. But I've been keeping an eye on Coddington ever since she got served by everyone's favourite Asian Crime Wave "blutter" (lovely, really, isn't it?) Keith Ng.

Sorry, that should be take your shirt off – which is merely grubby instead of anatomically improbable and gross.

Speaking of which: what on earth was Codders on about in her column yesterday?

Take your shit off, and perhaps the scary-arse god will tell you. Because I'll be blowed if I can figure it out. Reminds me of this lovely Peter Cook sketch with him dressed up as Greta…

nobody wants to talk to her anymore...but when she chewed interviews she considered herself part of the "rent-a-quote" mob.

That should be obvious even to an under-educated blutter like yourself – she's finally turned into an old fogey.

The solar bowl is used for cooking, they claim.

Might it be connected with Wok-Fi?

I am reliably informed that the Asian Crime Wave is facilitated by a secret wireless network constructed from innocent-looking Chinese cookware.

"The solar bowl is used for cooking, they claim."

Don't be so sceptical. It works! Perfect tool to try and reduce emissions and deforestation.

Prickly heat! Try some antihistamine and there's that powder in the red tins that seems to work.
