  • “The IT Man”

    He’s been at it again!

    There is a running joke amongst friends that restaurants and pubs visited by me on any regular basis end up going out of business. Penang Spicy, the Shamrock and the Metro in Fortitude Valley all spring to mind. It now seems that I’ve moved into the media with my dubious talent: after 18 years of gracing Brisbane television screens, Extra has decided to call it quits after having me on it only three times. Its last air date is June 26, and it will be missed by many here in Brisbane.

    If anyone wants something shut down, I charge a fixed fee and will travel. Think of me as a modern take on the professional ribbon cutter, just that I close things instead.

    Media Watch has been documenting the foibles of the ABC’s Ignite production system for a while. I doubt this was Ignite’s fault, more likely human error:

    I don't think the subcaption is correct either - that doesn't look like David Cameron to me.

    It actually happened twice in the same package. Maybe someone should donate a coffee machine to the ABC News production team.
