Well, I'm glad the parrot has gone from the Today show!

Love this stuff! So-o-o-o-o-o predictable.

If someone says something nasty about Alan on a Monday, sure as the sun rises in the east, David will be there to bleat on his behalf on the Tuesday. I would have been horribly disappointed if he hadn't written this so we could all have a chuckle over his simperings.

>>All over Australia, for years, people have told me that one of their very favourite TV moments has been Alan Jones’ daily editorial<<

Ho ho. Ha ha ha. David, stop it, you're killing me!

"All over Australia..." Ha ha ha "very favourite moments..." ho ho "Although he was absolutely fair..." tee hee "His evident success has attracted the jealousy of other people in the media..." hee hee "A very large number of viewers from all over the country are going to be disappointed. Indeed some are going to be very angry..." oh please, no more, I can't take it.

Just trying to picture the kind of people Flinty is describing - or inventing, imagining, whatever - is enough to bring on another round of guffaws.

But my favourite line has to be:

>>Alan Jones was the reason so many stayed with or switched over to Channel 9<<

David, someone should tell you, quietly, that people have been switching off, not over.

In their tens of thousands.

>>Perhaps another network will see an opportunity there...<<

Please, don't get me started again...

Thank you David, thank you, you have brought joy and delight to my day.

I'd just cleaned up the coffee I laughed all over the desk reading Flint, then had to do it again reading Pericles' comment.

The only thing David Flint forgot to add was a call for Alan to "stay brave and true".

Get a room.

Huh. Nine posts and still nobody's stopped in to defend Jones or blame Muslims for the evils of the world (which presumably includes Jones's downfall).

How bizarre.

It hasn't been a good week has it Flinty. Another of your pals got a right royal belting the other day from people in parliament who should have known better. Just a suggestion, but why don't you, poor old George (with his gorgeous red cloaks) and Allan get away from all this nastiness on an extended sea cruise, blown along by the winds of change. Perhaps John and Janet could meet up with you in February after they have finished moving.
