Tim Blair's latest column in the Bulletin is filled with all sorts of goodness including interviews with idealistic youth. However, I was deeply saddened to hear of Phatty's latest travail:
Will the torment of Phillip Adams never end? The columnist and broadcaster has been in dispute with the owners of Sydney's Lord Dudley Hotel, which adjoins Phillip's Paddington house, over such matters as laneway access to his property, noisy drinkers, and so on. Now, thanks to Italian airline Alitalia, Adams faces an influx of raucous, temperamental, gesticulating Catholics. The airline's web site lists the Lord Dudley among its "must see" Sydney nightspots, along with the Balgowlah RSL and the Revesby Workers Club. Hilarity will ensue when one of the tipsy visitors mistakes the large, hairy, perpetually black-clad Adams for a grieving Calabrian widow and attempts to buy him a consoling drink.
Mama mia!
"Beer goggles" alert!
