  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    Russell, you poor thing!

    Take large amounts of caffeine immediately,
    or failing that, chocolate, to wash the acrid
    taste of sock con nincompoopery from your
    ravaged throat!

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    I was being ironic, dearheart. Or sarcastic. Sorry,
    should I have said chronometrically overadvantaged?
    Temporally challenged? Perceptually obstructed? No,
    wait, that's one of my euphemisms for sock cons, damn...

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    Or, let me paraphrase that, especially given dear little Lucia is scoping out this website and has just commented on it on that very thread...

    'cliche used to justify voicing of discredited, hackneyed and archaic unsubstantiated prejudices, usually voiced by an encapsulated religiously biased non-entity who has trouble dealing with secularisation, social change and transformations in civility and sensibility."

  • Hard News: The McCully Touch,

    Oh dear...Andy Haden doesn't seem to realise that it's now the twenty first century as opposed to the nineteenth, the great chronologically overendowed pillock.

    Really, though, don't his troglodyte and sock con defenders really highlight the vacuity of that favourite hackneyed right-wing cliche, 'political correctness?'

    It looks like we can add another operational definition to the pile already available- 'cliche used to justify voicing of discredited, hackneyed and archaic unsubstantiated prejudices, usually voiced by a dyspeptic senior citizen who has trouble dealing with social change and transformations in civility and sensibility."

  • Hard News: And some cat from Japan ...,

    I'm curious that no-one has brought up the rather frightening
    subject of Oscar the British bionic cat (as if the world's cumulative fish resources aren't already endangered enough. Has horrid mental flash of mog getting far too impatient waiting for fish and ripping off fridge door..)

  • Hard News: Friday Beep Test,

    CR:
    Yes, but the problem is, Abbott looks good in speedos but virtually nothing else...

  • Radiation: Better than Twilight,

    Given what I've read about it, more like Skins gone metahuman!

    Reminds me, Russell, what did you think of the JJ character in
    Skins S3/4, given one of your own kids has Aspies?

  • Hard News: The big #spill,

    Is it my imagination, or is the evolving Aus federal
    election campaign starting to look one hell of a lot
    like the one we had over here back in 2002?

    Altogether now...."Breaking the AAA-bbott..."

    Just as long as the LNC realise that this is the twenty
    first century and replace Mr Screechy with someone
    who is untainted by the Poison Dwarf's regime of the
    nineties and noughties...

  • Hard News: Friday Beep Test,

    Ooooh, dear. It looks like the
    de-Rudd-erisation of the ALP
    was just what they needed.
    Australia's first ginga PM has now
    hit the lead insofar as the Bad Abbott
    on the other side and the LibNats are
    concerned.

    I feel a Limp Bizkit soundtrack coming on...

  • Radiation: Better than Twilight,

    Sorry, but IMHO, Twilight is aced by the Beeb's
    supernatural series Being Human, set in a flat in
    Bristol inhabited by a likeable werewolf, broody
    vampire and troubled female ghost. And it
    predates it. Also, lots of male nudity. It's
    about to start its third series...
