THIS GUY! THIS GUY RIGHT HERE! He’s my new best friend and a shining example to comment leavers everywhere… This is how you leave a good comment. Anyway, yes I have a long and colourful history with Rick ‘don’t call me Richard’ Adams and I can confirm that we have an IRL/meatspace relationship. That doesn’t mean he’s not a cyberstalker, it just means he doesn’t cyberstalk me. That aside, you have made my day Ninja Dave and please do stick around… There are plenty more Questionable Times to come.

PS. Are you actually a ninja?

I like tv. I like Charlie Brooker-style commentary on said tv. So I am loving your work here, Ribs m’boy. You’ve taken a programme I would never actually watch and turned it into something I’m happy to waste my company’s worktime reading about. This makes me happy.
I’m not as down with socio-political debate as perhaps I should be, however I have much faith that ‘questionable time’ could be the catalyst of change my empty life is in need of.
I agree with Bob, the actual equation you used is just the best way of scoring ever, even for a confirmed political atheist such as myself, and I look forward to stealing, sorry, borrowing the concept to start rating everything else in my life from now on in a siilar vein.
I stumbled upon your genius thanks to a work colleague of mine – I think you know him, his name is Rick ‘don’t call me Richard’ Adams. He assures me he is in no way a cyber-stalker of yours but an actual real-life-and-in-no-way-virtual friend of yours? He’s like a hairy Yoda to me, so his high praise of you and your work held enough weight with me to propel me to track you down.
And I am glad I did. I fully intend to subscribe via the link – that’s right baby, I’m gonna be number 71 – so that I can let you do all the work of watching this stuff, take the time to churn out a witty opinion that I can then steal and pass off as my own to sound worldly and erudite and the many social functions I am forced to attend.
Keep up the work, Ribber.

Why thank you Bob, I must say that the TA are my favourite brand of crazy although I was left a little worried after Boon put in a relatively solid performance… Crazy’s only fun when it’s not taken seriously. Much like Harry Redknapp. Damn… I’ve said too much… Again.

Your number-crunching is more interesting than the programme itself. A great deal more interesting. And your analysis of the TA is spot on (I particularly enjoyed the tacit references to the barking Ayn Rand). I take issue, however, with your references to Harry Redknapp’s dog. Wholly unfair. And you should know that for those of of of who are residents of Portsea Island (and may amongst ourselves refer to him as Traitor ‘Arry) Mr. Redknapp’s name still demands respect. As does Rosie’s.

There’s been a bit of a word limit issue with the HuffPo of late. Apparently it’s 800 words and try as I might, I’m just not an 800 word guy. Also, I was born in Portsmouth so I have trouble counting. Especially counting money. I tend to leave that to my non-existent dog.

Oh, and very wise to duck out of a damn good Phillipsing. It doesn’t do the old blood pressure much good.

Missed this QT sadly (busy doing uncouth things in Pompey – you’ve got to remember that over here we write like two-year olds, can’t fill in a team sheet, don’t know what e-mail is and pay fortunes to accountants to run our lives). Loved Pulpy Dimbleby and am devastated that Truss didn’t get the clap. Given Melanie Phillips’ usual effect on my health and equilibrium, it’s probably best that I missed this one. I seem to be unable to find this report on HuffPo. Is that me or is it not posted there?

Personable, maybe…. But is he covered in tattoos? It’s an obligatory requirement for our bassists to be covered in the things. Go get your son tattooed… then we’ll talk!

another thrilling write up! have you thought about doing some work ever? i can’t work out when you have time to turn out this quality commentry and do a day’s work!
sorry to hear about your bassist too monsieur, i have a son who has now added playing bass in a band to his list of new skills, let me know if you need to borrow him, you may recall he’s quite personable.
