Mother of all nations

Because I don't want to come across as some sort of replicant like out of Blade Runner - lacking any sort of basic empathy - I'm going to make a few obligatory noises to indicate my sympathy for Judy Bailey having been booted out of her newsreading job on One News. *Grurt*. *Mbpphhsprrt*. *Knnnnnnnnnee*.

There. I bet you're glad that's over.

They should get Eric Young back to do the 6 o'clock news. He could vid-link the newsreading. And show us his scars, and prison-tatts. I mean, if he has some. I know I would.

On an unrelated note, Wanda Harland is desperate to find out who the "celebrity basher" is. Drop her a note if you think you know - I think she's running some kinduva sweepstake. Not sure what the prize is (tho' the rumour is it's a pair of really ugly running shoes).

Me? I think it's just some kind of cynical attempt to boost traffic to a blog. ;)

UPDATE: RPK done a funny cartoon about Bailey here. Oh and I know the title of this post is an appalling pun, just shocking, and nowhere near my usual standard (of appalling puns). Shut up. I don't care. Stop emailing me about it.

yippee for me. I'm just trying to get up to 10k. Although I'm amazed how little interest there is in this story. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE.

Is Eric Young sharing Cell Block H stories with Darren McDonald?

Did Eric Young go to prison?

I've been in self-imposed news exile for the past month.

Not that I mind I never liked him much anyway. When he gets out he could help Marc Ellis set up his meth lab.
