Sneaky Journalists
Captain Kirk,
Well said, even if you are a journo, which I doubt.
Jacko,
I agree that Styron is unlikely to be a journo: he cannot write! But, alas, most tabloid hacks cannot write anyway!!
Also, to lessen the affect on of what might be, for me, a major bout of depression, please, please, confirm that you are not Jock Stirrup! I have been on the receiving end of a couple of his so-called briefings: what a nice but, ultimately, uncharismatic bore! Surely we can come up with someone as CAS who is not so stunningly unprepossessing: John Walker perhaps?
Our last effective CAS was Peter Harding who, in addition to having some charisma, was a highly effective communicator, played a great piano (Scott Joplin being a speciality) and was capable of a bit of insidious leg-over as was testified to by a so-called lady (Buck) who appeared highly qualified to know about such things.
PS: If you are Jock, I withdraw none of the above!
