- now, that is very funny Morrissey, but wait, a song hearkens…
Oh my word, what does it mean
won’t you please read my signs, be a Gypsy.
Love To All On The Left. - Morrissey. We are so fortunate that we do not have to listen to Newstalkzb, Radio Live, the National Programme from dawn to dusk. We have you. (transcripts and all). Keep up the good work, especially the ever growing listings of liars and deceivers. However, I hope you were able to appreciate that there was fog, drizzle, and occasional sunshine over Auckland today.
- I hate to have to keep repeating this, but Moz’s efforts are not transcripts. They are his half remembered impressions of what was said. Other than the names, most of what he claims above bears little resemblance to what was actually said, or the tone in which it was said.VOR: clearly irritated!
- I hate to have to keep repeating this, but Moz’s efforts are not transcripts.I did not haul out the old BASF tape and insert it into the tape-recorder, no. And no, that was not a sexual metaphor.They are his half remembered impressions of what was said.Anyone who listened to that horrible fifteen minutes of inanity yesterday knows that what I wrote is way, way more than “half remembered.”Other than the names, most of what he claims above bears little resemblance to what was actually said, or the tone in which it was said.I challenge anyone to dispute seriously that the characters in my little horror script are not simulacra of the principals involved in yesterday’s Panel pre-show segment. Any listener who persevered with listening to them will attest that Dita De Boni really was that shallow, that Susan Baldacci really was that disgusting, and that Jim Mora really was, as always, that special mix of avuncular, cowardly, frivolous, insincere and superficial.
- Keep up the good work, especially the ever growing listings of liars and deceivers.Sadly, Liars of Our Time is a series which seems to have no prospect of ending any time soon. Watch out also for: Dum Quote of the Week, Hall of Hogwash, Humbug Corner, Luvvies on the Loose, The Ouch! File, The Subservience Index, Weasel Watch, Wimp Walloping andYeah Right.However, I hope you were able to appreciate that there was fog, drizzle, and occasional sunshine over Auckland today.That transcript—or, as our friend Te Reo Putake reminds us, that “impression”—was done quickly, by hand, then typed up in a fever. That was the only time I listened to the radio all afternoon. Similarly, I don’t watch much TV, although it might seem like it sometimes.
Inanity rules, as usual, on The Panel
