    Any starfish who chooses to remain deliberately barren … they’ve got no idea what life’s about.

    And isn’t this one of the sub-species being used to illustrate today’s news column? It looks like a “Clown of Scorn” – Acanthaster plasticine?

    FDOTM: Why are you wiping my comments altogether? I merely suggested the whole could be viewed as a portrait of AJ’s bald head with a carbuncle on it. FFS what’s the matter with you?

    Sent to the naughty corner again for tired old unfunny homophobic comments; While the tail gunner with the bile microphone advertises for new listeners by attracting the wife beating alcoholic psychopaths to join his dementing frontal lobe affected wireless congregation. There should be a public service announcement at 5 minute intervals during his program, advising that if you believe a word of what he is saying, you should seek mental help ASAP.
