During the Blair’s visit to Australia in 2006, I suggested to Cherie Blair…
Plus it’s back to school for Dolly. Blair’s should be Blairs’.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, my question is to the foreign minister. Will the foreign minister update the house on the correct usage of apostrophes, and are there any alternative views on the matter?

Downer will be the first ever opposition backbencher to ask himself a question.

i remember Lord Downer saying he didnt like the “elites”

In fact, that’s what he was telling [insert important name here] just the other day…

More back to school fodder:
Also, while some ROC bloggers favour the semicolon, the colon proper seems to be used with numbing regularity in Lord Downer’s work. (He was never one for half-measures) By my count he’s thrown “snake-eyes” five times in the linked post.

He should be bashed with a hammer.

repeatedly, then put on the first cattle truck to Woomera gulag for political undesirables.
I’ll drive.

In my next life, I’m coming back as a hammer.
Monday 19 May 2008, 3:39 pm #Krypto
we could nickname you “the hammer” Keri if that’d make you feel better.
Monday 19 May 2008, 3:50 pm #keri
Thanks anyway, Krypto, but I’ve got enough nicknames as it is.
Monday 19 May 2008, 3:54 pm #Krypto
you sure? cos it could also be like a kinky sex thing.
Monday 19 May 2008, 3:55 pm #keri
Well, it could be. But I don’t see how it works unless I was a man.
Which I’m not, last time I checked.

Downer the dribbler: IT’S TIME TO GO!

He should have nails hammered into his genitals with a hacksaw blade.
Monday 19 May 2008, 4:16 pm #keri
Or his tiny, tiny balls removed with a blunt spoon.

I thought he’d give up after someone posted that sarcastic reply in the “Time for political climate change” post.
But then, I’m guessing he doesn’t know how to look up comments on his own “blog”.

Don’t you people realise what’s going to happen?
Alex has spent the last eleven years swanning around the globe, giving gratuituous advice to almost everyone of note.
HE WON’T BE DOING THAT ANYMORE.
The Americans won’t know how to train people, Condi will wear the wrong coloured lipstick with her dresses, the Shah of whosit will slice his golf shots, Dennis Shanahanahanhan will write bogus columns (see, it’s happening already)… in other words, life as we know it will end and civilisation will crumble.

Alexander should only retire,if,Howard starts to bore the bejeepers out of us,and make sure his opinion gets in front of Howard’s.His legs up routine is more appealing than Howard’s never out!?I also practice my Sir Robert Menzies Elecution lessons type voice,when Alexander opens up.Just to prove a person from Jeparit, could of ruled the waves! Bye now,you hear!?

He won’t be able to give sex tips to Bill Clinton!
“Now Bill… I may call you Bill mayn’t I? Bill, you have to lay her back on the bed, place a scarf over her face and lean forward and thrust your… [very short sealed section]… before she can even feel a thing!”

Dennis Shanahanahanhan
Made me giggle wildly!

From the blog:
“Personally, I’ve always thought it bad form to publish a book denigrating people you’ve worked with in a team.”
Could that be a veiled criticism of Peter Costello’s upcoming diaries?

Damn, you people are stupid.
Type “Blairs’ visit” into any search engine of your choice.
Did it correct your spelling? Do you see the major publications using the correct grammar?
The scary thing is. You really do believe you’re right. As a consequence you lead astray simpleton parrots such as “dishhead”.
Monday 19 May 2008, 11:39 pm #John Surname
Hey, dickead, the phrase was “During the Blair’s (sic) visit”.
It referred to both of them, not just Tony, therefore The Ed was right.
If you’d bothered to type “the Blairs’ visit” into Google you would have seen, gosh, all these fancy newspaper editors agree with him. Sub-editor Ant didn’t have a problem with it on our end, nor did sub-editor Wah.
The scary thing is. You really do believe you’re right.

The scary thing is. Putting a full-stop after “The scary thing is.”.
Hang on, I’m getting confused now.

Squaaawk! Duhhhhh…
Tuesday 20 May 2008, 6:55 am #dishhead
Dishhead want a cracker.
Tuesday 20 May 2008, 6:55 am #Ant Rogenous
Ah, that’s gold. But here’s the question: if Mr Muppet up there didn’t prove “Leftists” were morons, what did he prove?
Tuesday 20 May 2008, 7:21 am #dishhead
I think he proved that we are winning the War on Punctuation.
Tuesday 20 May 2008, 7:23 am #dishhead
Also, that Google is a poor style guide.
Tuesday 20 May 2008, 8:09 am #keri
And that Surname can’t spell Dickhead.
Tuesday 20 May 2008, 10:57 am #spuddgunner
The scary thing is.
What exactly does that mean?
Very zen for the right wing.

Yeah, I noticed that too late and I can’t edit comments here.

I’m logged in now, and I can’t edit comments. I could a month or two ago, but I can’t anymore.
