One can but hope.
Tomorrow it’s back to work / school for me, and my posts will decrease considerably. And considerately.

austpicious:

Television performers these days just aren’t what they used to be.
I defy anyone to strike an elegant pose on top of a flat screen tv.

Cloggy :—   Very True. Our cat could go to sleep on top of ours, it would be hard put to to do it on the flatscreen we have now. On the other hand I have a job NOT going to sleep sat in FRONT of it.

"Shane Perkins qualified third fastest in the mens’s sprint cycling."

No mention of Jason Kenny (Team GB) breaking Chris Hoy’s Olympic record to qualify first then Channel 9?

No?

Thought not.

You parochial fucks.

(via isay)

~ This is EXACTLY what I mean about Channel 9’s abysmal coverage of the Olympics. If it’s not about Australia they don’t report it.

I wish SBS had won the contract. Maybe then we’d see THE REST OF THE OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD AND THE OTHER INTERESTING EVENTS.

(via austpicious)

CLOGGO:— Thank God for the BBC here in England. We can see everbody in every event, even events we did not know existed, like double trap shooting. (We got a Gold). The Velodrome has been fantastic.

Cloggy:— Just going to posterise this verb. 
austpicious:

Or we could all just learn corporate-speak, government-speak, legal-speak or media-speak.
Because they’re the worst offenders when it comes to bastardising the language.

the sobsister

austpicious:

He opens with:


“This political season is so absurdly rich in sociopaths at whom we laugh, but who hold stature in the eyes of a non-trivial segment of the population, that satire becomes journalism with more Buffy references.  Sure, some of them—Bachmann, Santorum, Palin—are so bizarre, repellent and unavoidable in their attempts at self-aggrandizement through manipulation of the basest instincts in what I hope is a largely ignorant, perhaps cave-dwelling, population that they invite, if not demand, comment in a way that, say, Steve Forbes never did and never will unless he releases photographs of himself coupling with a manatee cow.”

and the wit continues:

“Now, by this point, you might think that “Cuccinelli” is Italian for “deranged right-wing twunt.”  And it might be; my Italian is rustier than Condoleezza Rice’s sense of shame.  But in the interests of bipartisanship and open dialogue, I’ve invited “Cooch,” as I call him, to answer questions from readers, in a segment I call “Talk to the Cooch…’Cause the Face Don’t Care!”

I’ve been friends with the sobsister forEVAH in his various incarnations and locations, and let me tell you - he just gets better.

Read him and weep. With bitter recognition, or with howls of laughter.
Either is fine.

Cloggy:——

Thanks Jen for putting me onto Sobsister’s Blog. Loved the bits about the lift (elevator for those who don’t speak the Queens English) and the postmen. We used to have an inumerate postman now we have one who takes from 9am to 2 pm to cover 400 yards.
