  • Damnable Poms and their Gruaniad-style cynicism.
  • Nostrildamus, anything special about that particular anagram?
  • I don't get it.
  • Erm, not really. It was UK satirical rag Private Eye's name for The Guardian, presumably because of said newspaper's legendary typos, in the old days when they still used little bits of lead to print words, and a spell-checker was the drunken editor's intern. I don't get it either.
  • We're all guilty.
  • Ah, yes. The fellow who misspelled "Grauniad".
  • Ironic, no?
  • What? Don't these Brits trust George? Are they implying that there might be a bit of lieing going on? For shame, for shame. I for one totally believe in our fearless leader and the administration that he leads. /Waiting for the crack pipe to make it's way back to me.
  • Make its, not it's. Damn I hate that.
  • You ain't lieing ;)
  • The Guardian also ran this quirky editorial. Crazy kids.
