Posted on March 28, 2011 by AHC McDonald

Wankeurs

Posted on July 5, 2009 by AHC McDonald

I thought I had exhausted Inside Cover and The West rants for now, until Jian sent me their caption competition winner from last week. Japs? Really? Can we expect a photo of an old wall so “chinks” or even “dykes” … Continue reading →

Posted on January 15, 2009 by AHC McDonald

Wanted to try for the magic 500 000 page views before I left work today, so a quick media rant. How often have we heard that blogs are parasites on legitimate newspapers? Lots of times. There is still apparently traction … Continue reading →
