I would like to thank @JohnBirmingham for introducing me to the word “buttweasel” today.
@cheshireb There’s so much I want to ask in response to that tweet, including a question including the word “desperation”, but it won’t fit.
I refuse to believe that I am older than Gretel Killeen.
RT @NineSortJam: Who would introduce a Sandra Sully biography, I wonder? [Gretel Killeen, I presume.]
@NineSortJam I will be honest and say that I don’t find Kerry O’Brien to be as outstanding a broadcaster as some make out. YMMV, of course.
@NineSortJam It is a sad but true fact that a documentary is automatically better if it’s introduced by Sandra Sully. I weep.
@NineSortJam My point about Four Corners was that if a stand-alone doco needs a presenter at all, there’s the journo who did the story.

So, Four Corners will have in-studio interviews [again]? So it needs O’Brien? Or is it cart-horse time, I wonder? Ta @dananimal @mjcp
@GiantGuineaPig Well given that it’s a routine security/bug fix for Office, there should be ZERO new “extra cool stuff”, I reckon.
“Kerry O’Brien to present Four Corners next year”, people are saying? Why does Four Corners even need a presenter? What a waste.
@jonoabroad I must admit, I only stay with MS Office because of a perceived effort to move things to something else.
@jonoabroad This is Office 2008, so just the standard previous thing. It’s Office, so if your sister is used to it then maybe stay with it.
Amused that a Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac software update can be half a gigabyte. Just how much was wrong to begin with?

@tom_cowie They have actual sport in America? You mean, it’s not just in the movies?
@tom_cowie I presume I’ve never heard of Bill Simmons because he covers sport, which is of zero interest to me.
I always remove FeedProxy tracking data and suchlike from URLs before RTing. Apart from the intrusion, they’re just plain ugly.
