Female newsreader on 3aw: "Luke Hodge's former Hawthorn teammates say there's no hard feelings following his deflection to Brisbane"

Last week on the SEN breakfast show they were talking about brushes with fame. Someone rang in to say that they got close to Jimmy Page, and Garry Lyon said, "who's he? I've never heard of him." Tim Watson replied: "What? Are you serious? He's the lead singer of Led Zeppelin"

I guess he meant to say "seemingly"

Ha! Have you heard Campbell Brown talk much? He's no Iron Stine, at least when it comes to speaking.

That one really gets to me, I get an angry twitch when I see it. It is an even worse one than their/there/they're because they don't even sound the same when you say them! FFS
