Does anybody really know...

...what the hell John Laws means?

[AlexS]

No, not even John Laws.

[Gingermick]

well he means that he's keeping the dream alive. Just to whom the dream belongs and whether or not it is a nightmare are questions for another time .

[Waldo]

I never listen to the grumpy old phart.

He must have Whingingpoms Disease I reckon, golden mikes do that, especially when no one listens anymore.

Why what did he say now ?

[Woodwould]

Why what did he say now ?

In his current Valvoline oil ads on radio, he blandly states "You know what I mean". Well I don't.

Why on earth would a respectable company like Valvoline (who participate in 'young peoples" motorsport) tarnish their image by enlisting the dubious talents of this out-of-touch dinosaur?

[silentC]

He is supposed to be able to sell anything.

I've never understood his popularity either. But then I've never understood the popularity of Ray Martin, Eddie McGuire or Darryl Summers. It doesn't say much for the Australian TV and radio audience.

[AlexS]

It doesn't say much for the Australian TV and radio audience.

...but it says a lot about it.

[Woodwould]

I normally don't take notice of advertising (conscientiously anyway), but in this case, I find the old vulture so obnoxious that I would actively avoid buying Valvoline products.

Laws and Jones - two of the greatest plagerisers ever let loose on an unsuspecting public.

Self appoiinted arbiters about everything of which they know nothing.

Just like Howard whatsit over here

I used to regularly listen to talkback radio mainly as a reminder that where I live and what I do is far better than the sewers (Cities and their mainly moronic self centred sad inhabitants). I still occasionally listen to the city traffic reports along with the clowns (presenters) driving their masters (greedy filthy cheating advertisers) propaganda just for a deep gutted giggle.

I realised that the rich profane language it caused me to shout could possibly be interpreted as a form of madness if Meg or one of my mates happened to drop in to my shed unexpectedly

We also have lyre birds and cockatoos and it proably wouldn't be appropriate for them to mimic my profanity.

I suggest Woodwould that you don't attempt to interpret any sensible meaning of the words uttered by these morons, their words are merely chosen to attract suckers who are forced to listen to the advertisements.

Recently a talkback radio incident occurred that resulted in the pin being pulled on the show. The main reason given was that the advertisers didn't like it because it might affect sales, very little talk about the morality of the stunt, mainly upset advertisers. What a pitiful reaction.
