Or, as Disraeli put it, “Inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination.”

A guy intoxicated by his own conceit.
Miss him?
Yeah.
Like a cold sore.

Who would want to replace someone who smirked at the camera, continually glanced to the side, stumbled over his lines and had trouble stringing a coherent sentence together?
Come to think of it, those are the reasons you would replace him.
They should replace Hosking with someone completely different, too.

A great, irreplaceable team? I’ll have whatever you’re having. Wasn’t Paul Holmes irreplaceable?

Agreed. He’s an arrogant character. At least on radio one doesn’t have to tolerate the rear-tilted head, both nasal barrels aimed at one’s peepers, as he sneers his way through yet another opinion….

Good point. In the absence of an obvious candidate, which of your dubious qualities would you delete first, Sanctuary?

I can’t imagine how they’ll begin find another privileged middle right wing white male with a chip on his shoulder.

I agree, Brian. I liked them both. And I thought that they were a good combination: an opinionated poker of wasps’ nests; and a thoughtful defender of everyman (and every woman). But, that said, I hardly ever watch the programme. Mind you, TVNZ will not be losing much sleep over that. I’m old. I’m nobody’s target audience anymore.

I don’t like Hosking’s propensity to talk “at” us rather than “to” us
