Did you really expect a manly voice Twigggg?

I can't bear his columns.

Is their sheer bloody pointlessness meant to be the point, or what?

He is even worse than William Leith, and he was bad.

Is he the guy that did all the stuff about David Ikie and the conspiracy theories?

I don't remember him writing about David Ike, but I did stop reading the Observer for quite a few years, so I might have missed that.

And I hate Guy Browning's column, but that's mainly because I knew him at Oxford.

ON a similar theme, anyone read Julie Burchill then heard her voice? Totally at odds with each other.
