No smoke without fire

heh.

Well, c'mon, someone must know how to spell it. Someone with a
classical education...where's Murray when you need him?

 

I don't have a classical education, but I know it's spelled Croesus.

 

I meant from the Kiiddy's persepctive

 

As it's Greek, can anyone say with absolute certainly what the correct
spelling is in the Roman alphabet?

 

IANMurray, and I haven't had a classical education, but I think you're
talking about Croesus, aren't you?

That's the badger.

Hey, us comprehensive kids ain't so bad, eh?

 

Or a nicely placed piece of work by a morally corrupt PR company...

I wouldn't have heard he had a greatest hits album out if the
case hadn't come up...

Or have I been watching Absolute Power too much?

So you think that pushing Bush off the front page is somehow a bad
thing?

Au contraire. I think it is A Good Thing. May it continue long enough

Watching even the first 3 seconds of the opening credits of Absolute Power
is "too much".

 

Phew.

 

The 'O'-Level generation, maybe not. Us GCSE babies, we know nuffink
;o)

 

That the Stephen Fry PR thang? Good, innit?

 

Cannock only does GCSE's in Mad Dog 20/20, fighting and 'workin doun pit'
doesn't it?
;-)

 

No.

And it seems AA Gill agrees.

 

It's a bit of a Stephen Fry "I am wonderful" vehicle, but apart
from that, not bad.

 

Who?

 

teetotal television critic, writes for the Sunday Times, IIRC. Also
writes novels, which are very funny but also a bit shit.

 

can't be as much of the above as QI, surely?

 

Guessed it'd be something like that. But why is Ogden quoting him?
Surely he's not suggesting that a TV critic's opinion of what's funny
or not is worth jack schitt?
