It is an honour just to be mentioned in the same post as the comic satirical genius and puller of Konnie Huq.

Cool idea. Google-Fu

Its about his aunt and uncle. Obviously.

I'm not sure that middle-aged male nerds are RW's target audience.

I'll leave it up to you to decide whether the middle-aged nerd label should be applied to yourself or Mr Brooker.

I'm interested how you objectively measure how much emotion an artist puts into the lyrics and/or the performance of a song. It's more about how it resonates with the recipient... two people can watch the same film and one will describe the lead actor as mesmerising, the other as wooden and unconvincing.

There's a word for this sort of thing. It's not "art", it's "content". And it's everywhere, measured out by unseen hands, mechanically dangled over the replicants' flapping gobholes; flavourless worms for android hatchlings.

Sometimes I can ALMOST see where content is coming from. Take Angels by Robbie Williams. It's a massively popular piece of content, beloved by millions. If I strain really hard, I can just about make out some genuine emotion. Just a speck or two - but enough to make its huge success at least vaguely explicable. Compared with anything that has any semblance of balls whatsoever, Angels is a bowl of cold mud - but next to most content, it's a towering emotional epic. It almost makes you feel something. No wonder it's become the official theme tune for thick people's funerals.

I recall this character flaw of yours, I think we've had this discussion before. He is REVOLTING and that's a fact.

That man is among my least favourite people on the face of the planet.

Still, or based on his younger days? He used to be a grade-A berk but the most recent interviews I've heard him give he seems to have matured and calmed down rather a lot (granted it's about bloody time).
