  • Cracker: History Repeating,

    I remember the feel of the ad well, make things happen, the sense of dynamism, split screens pretty classy.

    Created by Bob Harvey, if memory serves.

    Perhaps inspired by The Thomas Crown Affair

    Nice Job, D. Looking forward to more.

    I think that he signalled that it wasn't always going to be that way from now on when he released his first solo album.

    Absolutely, but that ain't gonna change what the people want.

  • Hard News: Dead Elephant Frenzy,

    I asked the Herald exactly this question, how a one-man organisation gets into their paper so often, and is always called "Family First director Bob McCroskie".

    So you did. Part two of this Editing The Herald post, wasn't it?

    I simply never understood why it [Wild Life] was received the way it was

    Because what you want from McCartney is great songs and there's only one proper McCartney-type song - Some People Never Know - in the first two thirds of the album (with 2 more at the end).

    Regarding pub creeps: Consider reporting them to the bartender or -manager. These places generally don't want to see good customers scared away by bad - they're on your side - , so will likely issue a warning and keep an eye on the situation too. I guess once in a blue moon that could actually inflame the situation (if so, the cops) but it's an option and in my experience, it works.

    We'll be thinking of you -- and hanging on that first post-surgical tweet ...

    Pish! We want photos. All the very best, Emma.

    And as a general point of netiquette, I think that whenever you find yourself arguing against a particular 'group' about what happens to that group, when it's a group you don't belong to, it might be time to inhale for a minute and just listen.

    I inhaled 27 pages ago!

    I think part of the problem here is that guys often can't really comprehend the experience, for two reasons.

    a) For many of us, the idea of "unwanted sexual attention" is, frankly, bordering on oxymoronic. Exceedingly handsome, suave and wealthy bastards aside, for most men actual sexual attention does not outstrip desired sexual attention by an unbearable margin.

    b) Having such attention become un-deal-with-able harrasssment or even physically dangerous is just not really on our radar. Yes, it's a possibility but, like being struck by lightning, it's just not something that one worries about much, if at all.

    In short, we don't generally experience this sort of thing as very much of a problem.

    Where to from here, I don't know, but that's my partial take on why guys sometimes don't get it.
