Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
Just caught 5 seconds of Andy Parson on Mock the Week. It was more than enough.

I wish I'd known this was on earlier. There may be something wrong with me, but I really think that beekeeping and cheese-making is interesting.

It is! Especially when the bees stung the chap on his knob. Plus, they have to be loving the livestock.

Yep tonight, but Yesterday will repeat it unto the endo of days, so worry not. I checked iplayer for you, but its not there. He stamped around saying he had bees on his 'meat and two veg'. I would have been decidedly more explicit.

That fat cuntbag on QT is really gripping my poo poo. Former Sun columnist bitching about Murdoch? Hippo-crite

e: On This Week, Andrew Neil is at his upmost smuggest over News International, and our former home sec looks like he was pulled off a barge in the Norfolk Broads. Thats what we get for putting a postie in charge of our Justice System.

I liked the bit where he described The Sun as 'a great newspaper' :)

I thought 'you wouldn't know a great newspaper if it came up and bit you on the arse'. Or, indeed, stung him on the bollocks.

I thought Gaunty was relatively well-composed until he got in that regulation tiff with Hugh Grant. Compare that to the Labour and Tory MPs constantly tossing the blame back and forth...

I loved how a pair of glasses appeared on Hugh approximately half way through the programme which he took off when beginning his answers to give more gravitas. Good acting, Hugh.

there is no way I would support Grant, but at least he stood up for himself when Gaunty started the poo poo slinging, which to be fair is the go-to for Sun writers. Grant should have said " Yeah I had a beautiful bit of stuff at home, but I wanted a bit of strange. And I had the money to do it. And she forgave me. Tell me, can you make me jealous?"

The bit that got me about the guy from the Sun was when he brought up the "brave, heroic policemen being honoured here in London tonight" when it had nothing to do with the question concerning corruption in the Met.

Instead of answering the question, he ended up getting on his soap-box, spewing some sort of policeman-jingoism to try to win over the crowd in his tone that kept rising and rising, apparently to imbue his stupid loving speech with some sort of gravity and rouse an applause. He was a smug arsehole.

Little annoyed that I had to track down Valley Of The Dolls aka Marwencol because 4oD doesn't have the hosting rights, but I had to treck through several hundred lovely 'documentaries' they did in the past to check.

No, he's spent the last 12 years as a captive god to an Amazonian tribe and will never return to western civilisation.

The ending of DTDD didn't really leave things open for a sequel. Probably for the best really.

If you want to realize that the entire education system in the UK is utterly hosed, feel free to check out "Classroom Secrets" that aired on BBC on Thursday. Apparently if you're a 9 year old in school you can now get taken out of class for a little private breakfast if you say you're hungry.
