He was a genius, but had the wrong temperament for his chosen craft (or at least all the stuff that went with it). Next year, it'll be the 40th anniversary of his death.

Must be my previous life as a horse. I'll look out for your comedy posts, Darlene - the Comedy Festival, like the Fringe, is is such an overwhelming program I never know where to begin. Thanks too for your piece on Hancock - I have all the Hancock vids, the man was a genius (favourite episodes here are The Blood Donor and The Missing Page, though I'm very fond of the Lord Byron one, where they "find" a poem on the wall). One thing that haunts me about Hancock was that he was apparently obsessed with the fact that he never knew why people found him funny.

Anyway, I've joined The Groggy Squirrel website, and part of my job is to review comedy acts so....it's all fun, but I believe in honesty in reviewing. Tony, I had to check up on the interweb for that pop culture reference. Let's just Tim is going when many men have been before. Hi Alison

Ain't got nothing on political bloggers, imho. Well, ok, a little malice peps things up now and again, but still, I write a hell of a lot more about things I like. I guess people enjoy a bit of schadenfreude and only remember the skewers. In my defence, you can't praise good acting unless you also appraise the bad...and our Jase seems to have got enough praise for that role to balance out the karma.

There's a rather technical reason for it (something to do with the size of the archives I think), but we'll need Jacques to explain properly. It fools you into thinking your comments have been eaten.

Firstly , the "national subconsciousness". Well, if not a "national unconsciousness", what else can it be? The devastating lack of evidence of any manifestation of anything resembling the oposite for so many eons, leaves only one other alternative and that is that the entire nation is lobotomised brain-dead. Then there is the problem of the mostrous organ of the squid (or is that the other way round- girth matters? ). If the apparition of such creates such ofence for more fragile souls we can only suggest that the solution may lie in a good kick to the offending brute's tentacles. Thirdly Sharon Stone. They found her latest exposure so hairy that it copped a "Rassie" for the worst cinematic presence of the year. Can I propose that such a large crack has appeared, as to compromise this lady's big screen image to the extent that viewers will be lucky to even access a small box sighting from now on. Finally, Max McKew. Isn't she gorgeous? All we need now is for Mary Kostakidis to throw out Tony Abbot and my cup WILL run over! A few brief points.
