Propped up in bed, drinking our first cup of coffee of the day we learned this fascinating fact. First, we were informed, we had blogging, then we had twittering and now we have snarking. Snarking, the reporter explained, is to make derogatory comments about something or someone (normally a celebrity), in a blog.
The news item then went on to tell us that a model is sueing a snarker in New York. On hearing this OG announced to the TV "my wife snarkes me" and to me "can I sue you?" " sure you can darling, just make sure you find another sucker to love, cherish and obey you first"
My first snark today is to ask why on earth the BBC is wasting my hard earned licence fee money reporting this inane piece of s..t and passing it off as news?
Material for my second snark awaited we when I opened my emails. DogLover had sent me this jolly little ditty.
Gordon Brown is my shepherd, I shall not work.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Conservative Party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment.
Yea, though I wait for my dole,
I own the bank that refuses me.
Brown has anointed my income with taxes,
my expenses runneth over my income,
surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of his term.
From henceforth we will live all the days
of our lives in a rented home with an overseas landlord.
I am glad I am British,
I am glad I am free.
But I wish I were a dog
and Brown was a tree.
Am I now officially a snarker! ?
