IF THIS was Private Eye, this would be categorised under “How Journalism Works” or indeed if this was That’s Life thirty years ago, this would be an item read out by Cyril Fletcher in his smoking jacket.
Indeed, we journalists spotted on wednesday on Page 113 of the Standards Committee report. We chuckled as we do, considered whether it would be an article and then thought better of it.
However at last nights meeting, Monitoring Officer Tasnim Shawcatt made extended and specific reference to it in a “mea culpa” speech where she apologised profusely to Interim Chief Executive Bob Coomber. She pointed to the page and the mistake and hoped that she wouldn’t be executed.
Bob. with his usual dry wit suggested that from now on he would be known as Robert. That’s Robert, Tasnim, as in Mugabe. You know, Zimbabwe, you next posting. Oh, nobody told you. It would be best if you made a clean breast of things……..
hmmm, now is that Tansim or Tamsin as it is spelt differently in the quote from Bob, or should that be Boob…..
Ah, Typo now corrected 🙂
Bob wants to clean Tasnim’s breasts?
