   Man you are obviously easily amused…probably reading to many tweets.
   1. 1.1

      Exactly what I thought, Adrian.

      It’s about as funny as a mass grave.

      I note the smarmy comment by Russell Brown. You may remember the way he and his acolytes were manipulated by Matthew Hooton after the death of Nelson Mandela….

         “You may remember …”

         Put it away, man.
         1. 1.1.1.1

            Oh, yes, you “featured” in that embarrassing little farce, didn’t you.
            1. 1.1.1.1.1

               Thanks pal, needed that little ‘pick me up’ just what I needed.
            2. 1.1.1.1.2

               But not as much as you, apparently. Bit sad to be clinging to something from 5 years ago. Get a life.
               1. 1.1.1.1.2.1

                  Message received, thank you. I will now proceed to get a life.

   You don’t mean ‘Twit of the Year’? That I can relate to!

   Is Russell Brown suggesting that Winston Peters, who was part of a National government that supported the Khmer Rouge, is some sort of moral exemplar?

   The shameful episode is covered in the following article from the New Zealand Journal of History….

   1. 4.1

      i thought he more insinuated that Winston Peters complains about being second row?
      1. 4.1.1

         You’d think. Lack of comprehension never stops Mr Breen’s gums a-flapping.
      2. 4.1.2

         I was referencing Russell Brown’s foolish comment, not Simon Wilson’s unfunny caption.

   When twitter is done properly it is a thing of perfection.

   Twitter, done properly, poorly, or indeed in any way at all, is always utterly inane.
   1. 5.1

      I looked up the word inane. Good use of the word in your post. The word wit appears in twitter, which is a contrast to inane when describing twitter.
