Re: Dead Cat
Umm, jake, you must have missed the bit where I outed myself as a Graun reader, and by implication also put myself down a little!
Making up amusing (or not) nicknames for things is a fine longstanding tradition, as is describing character trait caricatures (up to a point), along with a bit of self-deprecation. I have to say that it seems most unnaturally po-faced of you (British, even, perhaps too much of your time over here wore off on you) to, dare I say it, froth about this! :-P
Anyway, as it is now beer o'clock time this side of the pond, have one on me!
