Then again they had to throw out the old knee.

The lot!

The knee that couldn’t and the surgeon who could At no point do I ask if they will entirely remove my leg. I decide to leave it to them.

The knee saga! (This column I think owes a bit in tone to the great Tony Hancock):

She's here! Well, on March 4

Shelter from the storm of Africa At the southern Italian port of Brindisi, I bought a map of Africa and set off on the trip of my life, which felt like a long-running Bob Dylan song.

Loved this piece from @peterfitz1.bsky.social and the way he bounces between his own adventure and Bob Dylan. Lovely writing.

Farewell sweet knee. You served me well.

What’s the worst profession when it comes to choosing a partner? Teachers use that special “voice”, plumbers never fix their own toilets and therapists always want to talk.

Top bloke. My view exactly. Learn from him James, so you don’t waste another 30 years only to come to the same conclusion.

Ep 43 - Paul Barry farewell - Media Watch After 11 and half years Paul Barry presents his final Media Watch and look backs on his role with the program which first started in the year 2000, when he was sacked and the program shut down.

Great valedictory at the end of a monumental innings. @TheRealPBarry has been a brave and brilliant host of Media Watch, a very Australian institution.

Good advice! Thanks.

Thanks!

Unplugged from radio, I have big plans for retirement This time next week, I’ll be a man of leisure. One who golfs, and reads the Odyssey.

Big fan of @richardglover1.bsky.social on the radio. He will be so missed but thank god he will still be writing his columns. This one had me laughing out loud.

It’s so hard to get that radio slot right. Sarah Mac did it, with the right mix of serious and humour, personal warmth and solid journalistic and news cred. Present of mind and equal to anyone she interviewed. Loved by her listeners. I too am baffled by the decision to sack her.

Ray Hadley always surprised me with his deeply empathetic understanding of the impact of pedophilia on those of us who experienced its horrors. Now he wins my admiration again by supporting my pal Sarah Macdonald. Amanda Mead tells the story here: amp.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...
