		<description>Didn't even know it was there, Jack - and our College MCR subscribes, too. Was it the one with Mugabe on the cover? That's the last copy I've seen, anyway. It'll be someone in Oz, no doubt - no-one over here cares. In fact, the only thing that animates the Poms about Australians is the continuing success of our cricketers. They may also get interested if we have another go round at knocking Queenie off her perch.</description>

		<description>Sorry, gilmae,&lt;a href="http://www.private-eye.co.uk/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Private Eye&lt;/a&gt;, London-based satirical politics/media/chattering class bi-weekly of Peter Cookian provenance. Bit like Crikey, only funny and original and with better withering nicknames for the Public Pomposerati it lampoons. The bit I mean's not online, but from memory (don't have my sub copy with me just now) it's in the literature section and is of a vague 'look out, UK publishers, Oz hoaxer in town' nature. 

It's pointless and miserable and contrived as 'news' on nothing more than HD's presence at Oxford ie out of the blue and gratuitous. Slow news day. Or someone with a bitchier motive. I'm quite sure 'Skeptic' neither needs nor particularly welcomes my empathetic disdain for it. But like the treatment of THTSTP PE's dig seemed incongruous and contrived and grubby. Is all.</description>

		<description>"...&lt;strike&gt;reading&lt;/strike&gt; ritin your own comments threads..."

Shorely shome mishtake, Gummo. Speaking of, TB's site ain't the only place short on lacerating satirical critique just now. Anyone else seen the gratuitous job on 'sceptic'lawyer in the last Eye? Contrived, tawdry, petty, pointless...no fan myself, but some spiteful nob in Oz has obviously got too much time on their hands. I hope she - you, if you're reading, HD - send them a simple 'Dear Eye, Get fucked'. 

Mind you, I'd be cutting that one out to keep, too. Kudos, dude.</description>

		<description>Fair cop Tim - there's not much entertainment to be had from reading people who never disagree with each other is there? I'm glad we've been able to to provide you with a little break from the unremitting tedium of reading your own comments threads.</description>

		<description>This is brilliant. A lefty (Burns at LP) makes a small but comical error, which leads to:

* Lefty Gummo posting about my noting it;

* Lefty Niall missing lefty Gummo's obvious sarcasm;

* Lefty Lambert's attempt to correct lefty Niall;

* Lefty Niall misunderstanding lefty Lambert's correction, and offering a bizarre "fact" assertion;

* Lefty Lambert's &lt;i&gt;second&lt;/i&gt; attempt at correcting lefty Niall;

* Lefty Niall insulting lefty Lambert, and;

* Lefty Gummo possibly misunderstanding lefty Niall's target re "tripe".

And you people wonder why the rest of us find you so entertaining. Do continue.</description>

		<description>Niall as the buttonholer of that piece of tripe (was your guess correct?) I'd say Tim is sitting quite comfortably in the much coveted upstairs front seat right above the driver - unless your #4 is intended to be sarcastic.</description>
