Happy Wednesday Spursland! Today is a strange day. Years ago when I began writing the Hoddle, I had little to know knowledge of the English press -- who was reliable and who wasn't. I cannot remember if I lied to Kevin and told him I did, but the fact was I didn't. Now I believe about halfway through my first year I got fed up with one particular institution for constantly being completely unprofessional -- in my own opinion -- in there quest for page views, misleading headlines and downright fabricated stories. I banned that particular publication form the Hoddle and look, it has been gone for years (that's right plural) now. I never envisioned it would return, until today,
And now the "news"
On a day where there is literally no new news to report, along came this gem of historical awesomeness right about at the last moment before I was going to say screw it and link to an independent short film I like. The Daily Mail goes back to being banned because I don't think it is good enough for the likes of you people. You deserve better and when they start doing better then I will peruse them daily to present the gems for you.
But seriously nothing new happened by the time of filing so Lou Misiano, ladies and Gentlemen.
