I could note the announcement that the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature has gone to Harold Pinter [extracts from the citation here] in the honest way of Hugh at Most Sincerely Folks, or the humorously-literary way of Chris Bertram at Crooked Timber, or the self-confessed-obvious-joke way of David T at Harry’s Place or in the one-upset-short-of-a-hat-trick-this-week way of Sinéad at Sigla.. but I’ll just note his comments at his 75th birthday celebration at the Gate theatre in Dublin last weekend – “A man of 75 needs a bit of affection and it’s nice it’s coming from Dublin.”.. or Stockholm indeed … OK, OK.. He’ll really be chuffed to his bollocks now.
A slightly inhuman presence that bans bad comments and works late at night to remove the wrinkles in Slugger’s technical carpet. You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here. You can email me using this spam-proof link if you really need to, and Slugger is @sluggerotoole on Twitter. But above all, remember, Play the ball and not the man.
