Are you defending his actions? And calling someone bull **** is comedy?
Haha, well I don't imagine Brendan McCullum is contemplating suicide now as a result. It's up to him whether he finds it offensive. You shouldn't be offended for him.

I don't see what the fuss is about at all. Tight-ass journalism IMO.

To put it into perspective, Roy & HG labelled the Oz Rugby Leaugue captain (Mal Meninga) "Smell my Finger" after his brother was convicted of ***ual assault, i.e. your hardly dealing with a programme where political correctness is encouraged

The comment re Hayden's wife was nothing

The comment re McCullum was indicative of the way MANY Oz and Kiwis talk to each other. However, they generally dont do it on national radio

DWTA. This being a public forum and I disagree with his actions, I have every right to comment on it.

But after all the problems recently, the worst thing was to make such rubbish that too in the national radio. Shows what man he is.

Well, i think it kicks up an unnecessary fuss. There's barely a man in Australia who hasn't drank too much and made a bit of a bell-end out of himself before. If you laugh when it happens, you'll spend your life laughing, and if you get pissed off when it happens, you'll spend your life pissed off.

Individual perceptions. But it would take a seriously crude sense of humour to appreciate what blabbered by Symonds as jokes.

I don't really like Symonds at all, but in this case, every interview has a context. I think it's important not to microanalyse everything that public figures say. God knows, many of us I'm sure say stupid things throughout the course of the week.

Not reading the thread, then? Few posts specifically mention that he was drunk IIRC.
Only Spikey's did, tbf. &, due to the length of the quote and its superficial similarity to the link meant that, no, I CBA.

Hope the house accepts my application for the Chiltern Hundreds.

This post is bought to you courtesy of the Australian cultural stereotypes board: "Cork hats & vegemite sangers for all".

: thumbsup :

He wasn't in an audience with the Queen of England. Lighten up, people. If Hayden found this offensive, we'd be reading reports of a rastafarian lookalike found passed out on a boat with peanuts stuffed up his ass by now.
