Not much to report today, I know, lets go and speak to someone who has no idea on how the Immigration process works but knows someone who was shafted by it to comment on things they know nothing about just to stir up some debate and get the mugs buying the paper. Look out next week for the fascinating insight into crop rotation in the 14th century with Tom Briscoe.

But it would be believable if they were interviewing Stanley wouldn't it not?

Doesn't take much to excite some, as Hutchie has hit on, a dirty sock is enough for some

He'd already left the fields and started his RL career by then

He must have some early sketches of what was going on but I dont think he was involved. Mind you, the HDM will be sure to run a story on it if they think it will get people bickering

I wish they would scrap that hideous 'rant at cum face' or whatever it is called. It takes up space that could be used for something interesting, rather than just give that prick somewhere to put his picture!!

I was actually referring to the '14th century' and not the crops!!

I realised the connection after i posted it.
^That actually is probably what the HDM reporter says after yet another story is published pointlessly.

Just spat a mouth full of coffee all over me screen

There is probably no one, apart from Crockers family, who knows all the going on's etc in the proposed transfer of Crocker more than his best man and ex team mate Clint Newton, so far that objective its hardly a surprise that our local rag turns to him for comment.

Maybe they considered taking views of some of the know alls, pretend know alls and know fook alls on here and decided Clint was the best bet.

Journalists eh

No that would make to much sense surely!
