Current Affairs - The opinions of a grumpy old pouf

 
Doug Pollard is a veteran gay journalist, columnist, commentator, and broadcaster specialising in GLBTI issues, based in Melbourne Australia. He often works with Rob Mitchell of the RJM Trust, "We are separate independent and unaffiliated guerilla campaigners and advocates, and the best of mates: nimble, fast-moving, unconventional and above all aiming to drive rapid change", he says.

Freshly Doug NewYears Eve Grump Special

Grumpy Camel
Who are you calling 'cross buttocks'??


I was going to call this weeks show 'The Grumpy Old Poufs' until one of our number objected to being tagged as 'old'.

Then Joy's General Manager Danae Gibson agreed to join in the fun and that would make it 'Grumpy Old Poufs & a Dyke'.


Then Corey Irlam said he'd be in town, and you couldn't all him old (though I suspect he'd like to be - it would increase his gravitas), and anyway he's a paid professional optimist nowadays, too.

Plus young Nick Wurlod came up with a story we have to cover

So 'Grumpy Old Poufs' was out. I suggested 'The Cross Buttocks' instead (I still like that) but got no takers. So . . . .

Join me tomorrow morning between Nine and Noon for the Freshly Doug New Years Eve Grumpy Special.

O nair in Melbourne Joy 94.9fm and online Really Long Link around Austrlai and the world.
