...Greer made her point with a sustained, supercilious sneer that gracelessly combined ignorance with exhibitionist pseudo-erudition. "The film-makers maintain that the ray that took Irwin out" - nice touch, that, took him out, like a hit man hired by vengeful Mother Nature - "was a 'bull ray,' or Dasyatis brevicaudata," she writes, "but this is not usually found as far north as Port Douglas." Sniff. Is that a whiff of Google in the air? Biology lesson over, Greer flicks her tail and begins sticking her own barbs into the man. She relives the incident when he fed a crocodile...

...their fun until it’s too late. Richard himself is given ample warning of the various dangers facing his rule but decides to go off to Ireland rather than confront them, returning only to be deposed. This Richard was likely to brush off serious matters with a sneer and a wave of the hand, which painted the defection of the more serious members of his court (they wore suits and ties instead of t-shirts or fishnets), in the light of extreme annoyance rather than rebellion. As played by Polk, he was almost too childish to be taken...
