A lawyerly adjudication on it as "debate" - which it wasn't in the first place since that format would require an additional interviewer / referee - sees Cubby utterly outclassed. Slaughtered. A puff of feathers. Congratulations! All expences paid 10 year holiday for 1 for your client, at Club Casuarina, despite the airtight alibi, thanks very much do come again. <br /><br />Further the guy is scruffy, mumbling and completely unproffessional. I have studied under a Journalism Lecturer who would flunk any student for "I am afraid we are out of time.." then to compound that by drawling "... We could continue on with this all day and still agree to disagree" would have earned, same, a size nine up the arse. In fact this Lecturer would have filleted Cubby for just about every input he had. <br /><br />I dont know if Cubby went on to crow he had "pawnd" Monckton, as others in his position have, nor do I care. What puzzles me is the mechanism, whereby they can conclude that they have. One poster puts it down to an enthusiasm for exotic sneeze powders and herbal attitudal adjustment. I suspect a nepenthe, in the form of the Prof's field of Etruscan Semiotics, is also savior, in an instance of a comprehensive "getting the<br />living piss kicked out" right there on the syllabus, where Mamma and Pappa have payed for it. <br /><br />Just "deconstruct it" and make the nasty all go away. <br /><br />Engineering, Law, Geology, Physics, Medicine, operating a Road Train, Aircraft or Bulldozer , building a brick wall ... are proffessions where being hopeless is scary because if it comes unglued you might be talking to the coroner, being sued - DEFINITELY getting the sack. <br /><br />Fly an airplane into a mountain and no amount of Baudrillard will save your sorry arse.Mark Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345647263994713620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-24892951909137461322012-02-13T00:04:52.821+11:002012-02-13T00:04:52.821+11:00Carl; There's a perverse pleasure in watching ...Carl; There's a perverse pleasure in watching the antics of those who raise self-esteem to an art form. Think of Cubby's distance from reality when he announced himself as some sort of skewerer of heretics. It's just funny. His employer is broke, at last year's rate of shrinkage his newspaper won't last another five years. He doesn't report, he prosletizes. And somehow, amidst this plain of wreckage and delusion, young Cubby imagines himself the fish-shooting hero, smiting "the environment's" enemies. Most ludicrous of all, he genuinely believes others see him as he does himself.Bunyiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668398379654771814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-66232774010481927802012-02-12T23:21:39.017+11:002012-02-12T23:21:39.017+11:00"... keep up with the smug little fiends"..."... keep up with the smug little fiends"<br />Oh, sorry friends.
