UK bombing satire

Surely it’s not too soon to satirize the half-arsed bombing attempt in the UK? Of course not! Thanks to Richard for the pointer.

Hi Stilgherrian,

I came to your blog via The Other Andrew — I remember you when you had two names, but not the ones you were given at birth.

I deal with the term ‘space’ with appropriate respect by adopting a lisp. It comes up in art history quite a lot — especially the concept of ‘gendered thpathe’.

@Quatrefoil: By those two names you must surely mean my SCA persona, since the mundane world has only ever known “Stilgherrian” and the name I was christened. Well met! I haven’t done anything SCAish for years.

I think your comment belonged to another post, but I see the usability problem which caused that glitch. I do like the lisp approach, thanks!

Yes, and yes. I’m planning on holding a meeting of SCAdians anonymous to catch up with other people who used to play SCA and would like to keep in touch in a non-SCA context. I figure we can sit round and say ‘My name is x, I am a recovering SCAdian, it’s been five years since my last event …’.

And yet I did end up talking about him — ever so briefly — on ABC Radio’s national current affairs program AM. Why? Because there was massive media interest in Hadfield’s rendition of David Bowie’s [...]
So how should I cover Budget 2013?

14 May 2013 in Internet, Media, Politics

I’ve commented on Australia’s federal Budget for Crikey every May since Labor took power in 2007. This year will be no exception — but how will I top last year’s rant? Why do politicians and their groupies always go on about the budget “sending a message”? Can’t they just use Twitter, email and the phone [...]

05 May 2013 in Weekly Wrap

My week Monday 29 April to Sunday 5 May 2013 began gently, with planning and washing and other chores, and just two articles to write. But by Wednesday night I’d also done four radio spots, washed an infinite number of towels, and eaten most of a sheep. Or so it felt. Then Thursday was full [...]
