I think Ewan is a bollocks lads. I thought his Covid article was correct but badly written.
He sounds like a mentaller when he’s going along well enough and then he says it’s like RTE are spreading an STD to their viewers. It reminds me of the old Stewart Lee standup sketch where he said Channel 4 was like a syphilitic old man, except Stewart Lee was taking the piss and knew it was funny because it was so over the top. Ewan thinks that’s a normal thing to say. He’s right about NPHET but a stopped clock is right twice a day.
I hope he starts a podcast and makes himself a decent bit of coin.
Admittedly the autobiographical bits are indeed all about him, but the rest is spot on. Louise byrne and bolsonaro had that coming. Good man yourself Ewan.
Sometimes you read/listen to/look at various media even though you know it’s probably going to be terrible so you can satisfy yourself that’s the case.
You’ll read … but most sane people will recognize after one or two reads that it’s not for them… very odd for people to keep coming back to read something they know they’ll hate before they even read it. By all means check in once every six months but you’ll be on here next week giving it the same reviews.
