Aye aye General. Alas, the Squadron’s dictionary apparently doesn’t extend to plurals.

You’re demoted.

Roger Ramjet,

I’m afraid the Squadron have to pick you up on your misuse of the term ellipses (n : a closed plane curve resulting from the intersection of a circular cone and a plane cutting completely through it; syn: oval). The correct term for the character ‘…’ is ellipsis (n : omission or suppression of parts of words or sentences; syn:eclipsis).

Take a Proton Energy Pill and a short lie down, should set you straight.

For goodness sake, he is not, not, not a PR person. He is a publicist. Please read earlier posts. I’m out of here!

Has anyone questioned whether Today Tonight or ACA was involved received advertising dollars off Gold Parties? Maybe Jothy is a clever PR man after all…

James – think Roger may have a few comments for your use of the exclaimation mark.
Roger – brilliant. love your detail. I even have to applaud your correct use of ‘noone’ vs. ‘no one’.

The people arguing PR vs. publicists – seriously. this is about the bigger picture, at the end of the day, an idiot did something idiotic. end of story. doesn’t really matter if they are a PR person, publicist or Madonna’s leg waxer.

also you have just created more “publicity” about the gold parties company. Who’s the real winner in the end?

I remember interviewing Jothy for a job many years ago. Seemed like a nice young man. Shame to see him commit professional suicide like this.

Wow, the PRIA is upset. Oooh. That’s like being flogged with a wet lettuce.

No I am not Mr Hughs but I reckon if I was exposed in the way ACA exposed him on a so called quiet news night and treated the way he was treated my eye’s would twitch too. I would definitely prefer to be in Mr Hughs shoes right now as opposed to being a misguided host of ACA…more plastic surgery anyone?

pr professional – While PR, journalism, and advertising may all be absolutely necessary careers in today’s society, no-one can deny that there is an aspect of “game” in any one of these industries.
I take my job in PR seriously, as I have for the past decade, but lets face facts (and to borrow a quote that I despise but is perfectly true), none of it’s brain surgery.

anonymous are you jothy hughes?

insider thinks pr is a ‘game’ – erm, who wants to come over tonight and play a game of pr? we might be able to squeeze in a little journalism and advertising too if it’s not too much fun to be had in one night.

Grammar Nazis – please excuse the lack of capital letters, misused punctuation, sporadic hyphenation and the obvious interjection.

Roger, does the correcting of other peoples punctuation really make up for the glaring failures in your life?… get a job.
