    I wouldn't say that, I think he is very highly rated, and justly so.

    I find myself wondering if Clive James is in early stage renal failure?

    (To the tune of "Yellow" by Coldplay):

    Look at your skin, look at its off-white hue,
    Look at your eyeballs too,
    They've gone all yellow
    You came to me, you thought you had the flu.
    I knew that wasn't true.
    You wouldn't be yellow
    We took some blood off you
    That's just a thing we do
    To folks who turn yellow
    You're yellow like the desert in Damascus is
    You're yellow cos your liver has metastases
    Do you know you're really f**cked you know
    You're really f**ked you know

    Politics and economics is far more entertaining than it was 10 years ago for some reason.

    Come on Churchy, you have spent long enough on CUK to know just what is meant by "community cohesion".

    I think GG is a first class twunt of the highest order, but the sight of him tearing apart the yanks on their own turf was quite amusing.

    The congressional committee clearly had no idea what they were getting into when they subpoenaed him and the look on their faces when he let rip.

    He's a bit like CyberTory - occasionally entertaining by dint of his crazy pronouncements, but ultimately a grade A tool.
