    Any news on "Agent" Jay?
    I knew that would float your boat. I saw Cathy from the bus the other day, strutting through town in a backless dress that swished "I'm IT! I'm IT! I'm IT!" with every sashayed step. And, do you know, she was IT. She really was, and I miss her constantly now. I can't stop thinking of her inky tailbone.

    Agent Jay and has ass-nipples have not made the local news for some time. I'd hate to think he was a flash in the pan attention seeker, committed to sensationalism rather than his Art. Perhaps he's signed an exclusive with a magazine or gallery?

    that's a bit racy. she kept her top on for the local news but one whiff of rioja and she's suddenly gone all Christine Keeler for the Spanish press. I've gone off her now.

    it's OK to head out for wonderful, but on your way to wonderful, you're gonna have to pass through all right. When you get to all right,
    take a good look around and get used to it, because that may be as far as you're gonna go.

    That's made me really angry. Just before I'm about to go to bed as well. Thanks Jude...

    I knew all magistrates were self-righteous busybody f*ckwads in serious need of a reality check, but for f*ck's sake that woman is just stupid. That guy needs help and understanding not jailing for breach of an ASBO.

    Frankly he sounds like someone I'd enjoy sharing a pint or three with.

    A MUM of three is dis-custard

    I like it best when the desperate journalist tries to add a bit of tabloid zing to the dull story.

    The casserole was retrieved by Mrs Stout and eaten

    This is a fine example of the journalistic use of the passive mode. As the interest of the reader is rivetted upon the fate of the sausage casserole, it is made the subject of the sentence. The reader is less concerned with who actually ate it.
    The passive mode is frequently used by lazy journalists to mask insufficient or unconvincing research, but here it's use is exemplary, putting the errant casserole at the very heart of the action.

    People drive from Belfast to Dublin for a Rugby match. They park their cars near the stadium, and, because they neglect to put enough money in the meter, they get clamped. This is apparently news.
