infuriating columnists

sister  said about 5 years ago  or at  3:54PM on Thursday, August 17 2006 in stupidity

hmmm is a generic columnists we hate column a good idea?

will it be too difficult to search for if names are mentioned i the thread title?

Regardless, it's here.

I've got two questions/comments - one about Ruth Ostrow, the other about Julia Baird.

One: has Ruth broken up with her husband? Her most recent column was about the folly of looking for a soul mate who can provide all your needs.
It reeked of personal experience.

Two: disturbing news. Julia Baird is pregnant. there's a lot of pain to look forward to here.

disturbing news. Julia Baird is pregnant

she'll become Maggie Alderson any day now...


Inactivist  said about 5 years ago:

Julia Baird will be banished to the Sunday Life mag now that her brain is awash with pregnancy hormones.


sister  said about 5 years ago:

they were journalists. Ruth Ostrow started in finance, then turned into a sex and relationships writer, then something else, then she went all new-agey and moved to Byron with her new fella and had a baby.

Julia Baird started on the SMH in the late 90s.

Mo  said about 1 year ago:

once again, i am agreeing with Sheik (wtf?).....in his dislike for Deveny

her arguments are overly simplistic and she's as hyperbolic as a Baptist minister...


SheikYerbouti  said about 1 year ago:

Mo, resistance is futile.


voidster  said about 1 year ago:

...and all the while Jane fucking Fraser continues to write her dreadfully boring columns in The Weekend Oz's Review section. How the fuck does this woman keep her job?

Bettina arndt last weekend pointed out the restraint men show in not getting their wangs out willy nilly and attempting to mount everything in sight.

Good point. Thanks chaps.

This was amazing. Good response to it here.


pleasedonot  said about 8 months ago:

When I say amazing, I mean amazingly bad, by the way.


hungryhungryhippo  said about 8 months ago:

No need to clarify. It's in the infuriating collumnists thread.

I did smirk at the idea of her speaking on this topic at Zonta club meetings to your prue's and trude's of the world.


hungryhungryhippo  said about 7 months ago:

Somehow I missed the news that Janet albrechtsen and Michael Kruger were touching each others privates.

gets dizzy. Sits down. Voms.

i'm glad greg sheridan didn't talk much on qanda last night. i hate that guy.


steveholt  said about 7 months ago:

Listen to Greg Sheridan on 774 this morning for his usual world news segment. He spends the whole time talking about himself and how many great interviews he's done. Douche.


gabbo  said about 7 months ago:

the only part i caught of him last night was trying to justify his spot on the panel by mentioning that he is mentioned in the wikileaks leaks.

wanker. wanker.


steveholt  said about 7 months ago:

He takes self-aggrandizing to a whole new level.

Reminds me of this
