objectivity comma but what kind of vested etc
-
Yes, and if it's shown that Milton Weir, the former police detective who investigated the Bain murders had significant undeclared entanglement with Laniet Bain, via her apparent prostitution, then that would be of concern.
Well, I can kinda see how that involvement wouldn't be such a good thing for the sake of objectivity, what kind of vested interest could he have in which family member committed the crime?
-
Also, Nicky Watson, oh yes. Also, the bish. I vote we do a timeline, string in a few more celebs / nutjobs and see how long it takes for Wishart to publish the new facts come to light.

He was hired to work on Bain's appeal to the Privy Council, sometime post-chicken & pre-Brethren.
Righto. There was a line in that statement thingy that Wishart posted from the murderer/victim-of-police-brutality, saying that the police were framing her to stop her from speaking about the Bain case? Pre- or post- chicken?

I'm really having trouble following this. OK, I get the porn film thing and the police commissioner, and Ian Wishart. And the link to the PI guy & exclusive brethrens. And police sexual assault. And I kinda half get David Benson-Pope. But apparently the David Bain case is linked to all of this as well? WTF?? Is this some kind of weird vortex in the space-time continuum that's swallowed a copy of the Sunday Star-Times? When will Nicky Hagar be invoked?
If someone was able to compile a timeline of events (actual and alleged) I would be most grateful, provided it's still possible to illustrate within four dimensions.

yes that's the same Hamish. And he won Mastermind as well.
OMG, he was my HERO in sixth form! Awesome!
-
Best. Escape. Since. Houdini.
AAAAHHHH!! AAHHHH!!
(chicken, headless)
-
oh and can we have more of Hamish McDouall?
Hey...that's not the cute guy with the gap in his teeth that won Sale of the Century, is it?

<i>judging by the rapid recycling of decade defining looks over the last few years, won't the naughties retro parties start happening in 2010 or '11?????</i>
We'll be having 2020's retro parties in 2018. -
I think what people get wrong is thinking that music videos from the 70s and 80s are time capsules of what we wore.
Actually, I think what's got wrong is the idea that retro parties and the like are supposed to incorporate the whole of the era they're pastiching. They're not a tribute to everyday life - they're a tribute to that box of vinyl & what-was-I-thinking fancy dress you (or your dad) stashed in the attic, regardless of the t-shirt/jeans that you (or your dad) wore while listening to earth wind & fire / wham / soundgarden / johnny cash.
In that respect, I think emo will be an equally valid cultural memoir. Back at university, whenever I threw a '60s party, everyone'd come dressed as beatniks. Granted, at those emo parties in 2027, the poetry reading won't be quite so popular.
Is it such a surprise that our perception of eras gone is dominated by the more polarising creative media that remains?
