I agree Isitjustme? – he had a tendency to do that sort of thing too (Raglan Road being another example where no-one comes close to his rendition).

I hope the four bloggers in the IT corner him in the canteen at the next opportunity and steal his lunch money. They should YouTube it too.

Ahhh Adam thanks. I assumed they were Lukes.
His voice made the song though, wouldn’t you agree?.

Good point regarding Fanny’s colleagues at the Times…I can see Jim Carroll kicking some Fanny butt shortly..

[...] Twenty has a podcast of John. Darragh O’Brien had a fairly balanced article on the subject, while Damien goes head first on the offensive. [...]

As I said on Markham Nolan’s blog, I wonder if he judges all media as a single entity and if he feels we should not take The Irish Times seriously because it shares a medium with Nuts, Hello! and Playboy.

I also wonder if his “bloggers are idiots” theory extends to his blogging colleagues in The Irish Times.

@Isitjustme? – They’re Phil Coulter’s words

Listen after reading Waters book (Lapsed Agnostic) he doesn’t need a rhyme nor reason for anything. [my brief comments on the book are here http://www.10thmonth.net/detrius/2008/01/what-have-you-changed-your-min.html

We’re back to the Bloggers versus Journalists flamebait again. Lets face it there is an awful lot of crap on the Internet. And there is an awful lot of crap in the papers and elsewhere. (i.e. Sturgeons Law that ‘90% of everything is crud’). Given the volume of people online the signal among the noise is amazing. (If someone said I could choose to give up the Internet or Newspapers again there would be no contest)

Its Waters bad luck that he doesn’t bother his arse to look at it. He’s not a journalist or he’d check his facts. He has become a bit of a ranter really. An elitist ranter at that (who do those people think they are thinking they can write).

Deserving more of sorrow than anger.
