SubscriberWell, I've head a few crackers today (so far) and thought I'd share them with you because they are just so... special.
And the winners are......
Talking of Suncorp stadium...
"This is the home base of the Broncos, The Queensland Reds and Birsbane Roar. The playing surface is underwater. It will have a big impact on sport in this state. It's yet to be seen how this will affect the Broncos season".
Talking of the Performing Arts Centre and GOMA (gallery of modern arty farty bull****).
"These are iconic buildings in Brisbane, everyone identifies with them. The damage to them will impact on the psyche of Brisbanites for not just months but years to come".
but my personal favourite talking of the flood crisis in Brisbane, generally.
"Yes who would have thought that all this water has flowed down from Rockhampton to Bundaberg to Western Queensland and now into Brisbane itself, casuing such devastation along the way".
It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

I love the way they made water flow uphill. According to the Bruces and Sheilas of the press, the "inland tsunami" that roared along West Creek in the CBD and caused such devastation then flowed over the lip of the escarpment and flooded the Lockyer Valley. If someone had looked at a map or even the signs along creeks in Toowoomba they would have seen that West Creek flows into Gowrie Creek, then Oakey Creek on its way to the Condamine River. West Creek is in a gully that is considerably below the tip of the escarpment. The rain that caused flash flooding of the Lockyer was from the same torrential downpour but fell along the slopes of the range not 100' lower in Toowoomba CBD.

SubscriberMistakes is one thing - stupid ill informed comment for the sake of filling air time is something else again.

I dont mind honest mistakes and some journos are doing well. But I have never had time for reporters saying things to people in possible stress to get an emotional result.
Today I saw a reporter go back to a flooded house with the owner, it was not to bad (compared with the other effected people of course) as the water was only about 1m off the floor and he had a lot of stuff up high and dry, he even said so. The owner was not emotional but the reporter made shocking sighing noises and comments about his poor house. It was shallow and silly. The owner was quite ok as he got of light no one was missing or injured from that house. This sort of reporting offends my sensibilities.
There are NO journalists left.
There are only "infotainment" hosts.

I think the fact the QLD Police have to have a Facebook page where they post "Myth Busters" is a good example of how many idiots there are out there in society.
Have a look. It'd be funny if it wasn't
