    A remarkably even-handed overview and summation, Mr Onthemoon. What a cage match. Mr Rabbit is enjoying every minute of this and, fortunately, he may get his turn, too.

    Long live Jasper.

    You seem to have nailed it pretty well FD.
    But then again, you’ve always had a soft spot for soap opera.

    Splish splash . . .

    Where’s the Queanbeyan Deep Fried Players?

    Now that the gloves are off and the knives are out hopefully we can put this to bed and nip it in the bud and bring it to a head to lance the boil and let the blood flow and end the carnage that is tearing us apart and then we can get on with the important business of speculating on the election date.

    It’s no longer soap opera. It’s full-blown farce. Vintage Kevin prissy fit.

    What brilliant but understated use of “Bold and the Beautiful” camera positioning! I didn’t know you were a fan. BTW I understand this is called “z-axis alignment”, i.e. both interlocutors looking direct to camera with one in close foreground and the other in the background. Kudos, First Dog, kudos.

    How many times have I tuned in for my favourite show, only to find the soap opera is still running? Mr Rabbit wants to Stop the Boats, Mr Krudd wants to Stop The Soap Opera. How to choose?

    …….. or a f*ckin’ Dalek in red speedos……… where science fiction meets soup opera.

    The Pig’s Arms race-calling psephologist Antony Puce is holding court on this one in the front bar, Firsty. Drop in after work. I reckon he’ll be well and truly p1ssed by then !
