I see that The Yew was not producing today. He is getting as bad as Duffy. Maybe he is off somewhere looking for his H?

The terrifying thing about that bingo card is how many of the squares I recognise. It makes you question what you're doing with your life...so to speak.

Heard a few snippets including telling some woman to lie back and look up at the ceiling.
Dat's sexist so to speak and at school closing time too

Couldn't post earlier, bizzy in wurk so to speak.

Just interetsing to observe the News at One opened with a call to a family -- a working family -- whose Landlord sold their house, they cannot afford to rent, and they don't know where they'll be sleeping tonight.

But the only social/current affairs issue on today's Liveline was the outrageously high tax rates for the squeezed middle, which Joe Duffy has a real bee in his bonnet about.

I don't like paying tax anymore than the next man, but I understand we have to pay it, and move on.

Joe Duffy has some nerve ****eing on about the tax the rest of us pay, though, given the elaborate manoeuvres he instructs his accountants to take in shielding him from paying his fair share to society. I don't necessarily care about Duffy's salary, it's none of my business; but I do get annoyed when he starts whining about taxation, as if he knows anything about those who are struggling because of taxation, or those who are suffering because of the lack of essential services, like that homeless family.

Duffy is one of those insufferable arseholes who managed to get himself out of poverty through a fantastic education with the help of the State, and is given a profitable career by the State, and then turns around and gives the two fingers to that State with his tax avoidance.

Are you on about the Dickie Rock special or the review of the new Bob Dylan album?

Fantastic education? Let's not get carried away now, he has a degree.

The man can't even speak English properly.

By the standards of his generation, that was an immense privilege and yes, a fantastic education.

Joe Duffy is a clown, but a well-educated one, who has been given every advantage he sought in life from the taxpayer. His attitude to playing his part in return just stinks.

He's not well-educated though. I'm sorry but I completely disagree on that point, and using standards of a previous era does not make it thus.

Have I a difference of blindness this morning and can't see "So to speak" on the board, or is that one a gimme, so to speak.

That Lahv Lahn Buzzword Bingo Card predates the introduction of "so to speak" to Duffy's lexicon, so to speak. Regular listeners will know Joe occasionally picks up a new word or phrase, then proceeds to use it as much as possible and indeed overuses it in an attempt to make up for not knowing it for the 50+ previous years of his existence, so to speak.

Although I think it's unlikely to ever feature again in the show, I think there should be an honourable mention for "I'LL CALM DOWN IF YOU CALM DOWN"
