From here on in, I shall dub him Stephen farking Conroy. I'm hoping I can get it to stick.

"If a tax goes up, God, that is sovereign risk. But if a tax goes down, f---ing fantastic."

WTF is he talking about? Has his mind been affected by his bowl spinning in the wrong direction or something? Because sovereign risk is only loosly related to taxation.

He sounds almost as stupid as a FOX news host.

Did he star in "You and Your Stupid Mate"?

/it's free on Netflix Streaming. oh and Ned Kelly is an Australian hero.

Next time drop A-Bo...
Nevermind.
A-Bomb for sissy. Make it H-Bomb. 12 H-Bomb.

"That ought to hold the farking little bastards."

My grandfather had a record of on-air slip-ups which included the famous kiddie show host who said a naughty word you couldn't say on the air in those days. This famous incident is parodied on The Simpsons using the Great Gabbo, rival to Krusty the Klown, in the place of the media personality. By the way, there was a movie called The Great Gabbo which was the origin of this Simpsons ventriloquist dummy's name. The Simpsons is endlessly educational, especially when it comes to things that Matt Groenig and the writers learned as children. They are not the least bit afraid of anachronism or obscurity. This is one reason why geeks and nerds love them. You can become an expert on Simpson allusions, a scholar if you will.

A record was a round vinyl disc on which audio data was encoded in the form of variations in the depth or width of a spiral groove on one or both sides of the vinyl. This particular disc was an early form of the Internet's YouTube, only without pictures.

Believe it or not, the f-bomb was in current usage well before the invention of cable TV. In fact, such language existed even in the 1800s, when morality reached its most depraved depths under Good Queen Victoria, who struck out allusions to lesbians in an anti-homosexual bill because she refused to believe that such things exist.

That's what she said, any way.

I'd love to win the Internet but I'm afraid that I might drop it and break it.

\Yes, there will be a Series Five of The IT Crowd. Maybe they can go out by REALLY destroying the Internet. That would be cool, like all those Blackadder final episodes, and the ending of Bottom.

And if the characters were to survive into the post-apocalyptic world, it needn't be as sad as the ending of those series.

A man can dream.

Hells yes. Stephen Farking Conroy is a dick.

Personally, I like the labour party and most of their policies, but making this asshole the communications minister was a stupid move for them, even though his internet filtering plan never even got to a vote in parliament because it was so farking unpopular, even amongst members of his own party.

Unpopular sentiment these days, however I'm with you there.
