In my three months as a blogger...

It's every scare-mongerer's favourite phrase!

I was watching TV last night, and I heard this phrase on no less than four occasions to try to scare up some extra passion or emotion from viewers.

"In my thirty years as a mechanic, I've never seen a bonnet catch as flimsy as this".

"In my thirty-six years as a policeman, I've never seen a murder as bad as this".

"In my twenty years as a stripper, I've never used a pole as greasy as this".

The last one was my invention. The point remains the same.

Stop hyping up stories for the sake of story-telling, and report the news as it is.

Here endeth post one-hundred and two.
