Quote:Gobbles caught a Oz MSM story that featured our super sleuth Muppet Beaker yet again flapping his felt gums to the media...
Well, one of 'em; Beaker or the Irish Journo, must have been legless. The BRB betting is ferocious on who called whom. Go figure – it's an 0230 dateline. So was Beaker on the blower to the Irish at 0230 O'clock, plastered at 1630 Oz time; or, was the Irish off his tits and ringing Beaker at O'Silly a Clock?
You need to think it through before placing a bet with the BRB SP Bookie. Consider this – why? in the seven hells would an Irish journo want to talk to Beaker (beard or no beard); not for 'the' story Shirley. Beaker is not 'official' and must be careful, for the answer to any question carries far reaching ramifications and could affect the MH 370 family relatives; any loose statement capable of being cast as harbinger of doom or the angel hope; in a heartbeat. Look at how the article has been massaged and regurgitated so far. Uncle Angus must be spitting chips.
Anyway – the betting is as follows.
5/2 (odds on) Beaker in a bate, miffed by not getting into the big meeting, missing a photo op and unable to chat to the main stream media on anything from spaghetti to his investigate prowess; frustrated by growing his face wear because someone said it looked good, then because someone said it looked bad, shaving it off - again. So, it's odds on Beaker called the Irish press. You'll need to hazard 5 (beers or bucks) to win two.
Evens – Beaker waited until 0130 O' clock to catch the Irish press just before the last call for copy, to make sure his 'tale' made it in, before the paper was put to bed.
4/1 The Irish waited until 0130 O'clock to call Beaker.
It is amazing how many agencies picked up the piece, some hacked it about a bit, some just lobbed it out into the world without even an acknowledgement. We must hope that the unguarded "Beaker speak" has caused no anxiety to those waiting for resolution.
Please Mr Truss, can we have Uncle Angus back and perhaps one of those 'courage' straps the ASA have to gag the Muppet; before we all are obliged to cringe once again.
Toot toot.
