Excerpt from my morning #Crikey "Worm" email:

As my care-factor for Liebs is zero, my focus was not on the [in]substance, but the rhetorical style of the last sentence [being the Crikey editorial remark]. I would not have included the y, tis not my idiom. Mine would have been
With friends like these, eh?

Punt reception is “muffed”, and Fowler calmly described the player “diving” on it.

This happened.

Right before segueing into Holly Rowe the sideline reporter.

I seent and heard it.

With my own eyes and ears.

@mk

All I'm getting is that it is nonsense.

frustrated like;
a chocolate eclair on a yatch.
Mt Everest on Xmas day.
a history teacher in Austria.
a ginger man in the jungle.

If we change "ginger man" to "ranga", the phrase still is nonsense.

Two red, sweet peppers on a table. The other one has a figure of a bird; more like those yellow rubber ducks. The other is bented, so that one can see it as a worm that is sucking it's own ass.
