Answering Andrew Marr

Andrew Marr recently stated, at the Cheltenham Literary Festival, that: "A lot of bloggers seem to be socially inadequate, pimpled, single, slightly seedy, bald, cauliflower-nosed young men sitting in their mother's basements and ranting. They are very angry people."


Let's see how accurate he is:

'socially inadequate' - Not Guilty

'pimpled' - Not for many years

'single' - Happily married

'slightly seedy' - I am not sure how to react to this one, what is 'slightly seedy'? Would Andrew Marr's definition of 'slightly seedy' include .... with a .... not my .... trying to hide .... with a super-....?

'bald' - Well, balding

'cauliflower-nosed' - What is a cauliflower nose? I have heard of boxers having cauliflower ears but never noses. Is this some sort of drugs reference?

'young men' - Middle aged

'sitting in their mother's basements' - Normally in my bedroom, sitting room or office

'ranting' - I try not to rant but maybe expressing views contrary to those of Andrew Marr and his clique is classified by him as ranting?

'They are very angry people.' - Guilty as charged, but there is a lot to be angry about especially the bias shown by the BBC.
