  1. @LittleWombat666 although I quite like "sobbery", it's quite original
  2. @LittleWombat666 I do hate to be pedantic, but "it's is" is not strictly grammatical. But we've established that grammar is not your thing
  3. @LittleWombat666 that's funny, I never realized basic literacy was a class issue. Then again, I spell "lefties" with an "l"
  4. @ben_hr something tells me @LittleWombats666 is not a devotee of Mexican cuisine
  5. @ben_hr rofl
  6. @Bondles portmanteau: there's another big word they can't spell on #Auspol
  7. Someone from #Auspol has just trolled me with a tweet about Gillard as a "union molle". Sums it all up really: inchoate rage, misspelt
  8. @LittleWombat666 I see your spelling is as Neanderthal as your opinions
  9. @stevethompson49 I'm pretty sure most journalism educators would not condone ridiculously leading questions
  10. @norton_tim ha! great remidner
  11. @Steph_Philbrick hilarious. Some mental giants in our national press gallery
  12. JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, is the best thing for the Labor Party for you to remain as PM, or would it be best if you were to resign?
  13. JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, do you lead a divided and dysfunctional Government?
  14. @BernardKeane has posted the transcript of Julia Gillard's presser this morning. Leading questions? So many bit.ly/K3hPJu
  15. @geeksrulz yeah that was funny
  16. It's moments like this that one reassesses the decision to agree to hosting a 10am panel discussion
  17. I'm at a party.
  18. @TG_Esq oh sure, but they shouldn't need a subsidy to play in the country's third largest city
