    Just to flick back to the perving... Wet Girl Drumming? I approve.

    Tony had it right at:

    You are either deliberately obtuse, incredibly badly informed or an asshole.

    I do have a slight quibble, in that I don't think they're mutually exclusive. It's not an 'or' situation.

  • Up Front: Not Such a Hard Word After All,

    What really got on my last nerve about Veitch's apology, was that it might not have satisfied any of the criteria Perfect Apology came up with, but it reeked of something carefully drafted by a PR consultant

    I'd been trying to work out what bothered me so much about the Veitch apology (apart from the obvious, k?), and until I read that article, I hadn't realised how big an impression the time delay had made on me. I think it could have been a tour de force of apparent sincerity, and after that much time had gone by I'd just have assumed his 'team' had him in serious rehearsals. "Okay, now again, but this time let the lip quiver just a bit..."

    If you watch the Michelle interview, at one point the reporter says to her 'you're obviously very upset'. She is, really? I couldn't see it, but maybe it was the obscuring cloak of Englishness.

  • Up Front: Not Such a Hard Word After All,

    I think the previous Pope's "pardoning and rehabilitating" of Galileo takes some serious beating in terms of non-apology apology.

    Yes, just a teeny bit too late.

    I'm also a big fan of the Catholic Church's 'oh, BTW, turns out Mary Magdalene wasn't a prostitute after all' sorry.

  • Cracker: No Kitty Blues,

    Nice dot-matrix action! That cat *had* been around a while...

    Fifteen years. He was an expert at jumping on sleeping people's face and falling in the toilet.

    More cat photos please.

    Our current house-tsars:

    Wooster, slightly confused

    Jeeves, deeply disturbed

    George Bush at the olympics, given a LOLcat makeover.

    LOLed at those this morning. My favourite is #4. "You invade other Georgia, right?"

  • Cracker: No Kitty Blues,

    Ah, suck. We lost this guy about three years ago, and I still miss him. He'd been with me through uni and babies, been my companion longer than my partner. It was weeks before I stopped seeing him round the house out of the corner of my eye.

    Probably why I love the "Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde.

    Ha, yes. His audience-participation Shakespeare is a work of utter genius.

    You just asked for this...

    OMG. I had to go dig out the relevant Kate Bush just to get that out of my brain.

  • Field Theory: Olympic Eye Candy,

    As you've pointed out, the laydeez get all the eye candy. Whats in it for us men (and similarly inclined wimmin?). Gigantic muscular female freakazoids. Not my cuppa tea.

    Oh come on Mark, you can also have tiny little pre-adolescent stick-figures with faked birth certificates. Geez, fussy.
