Reference : Through 2020 , how accurate were the predictions of the world renowned " news we can trust and opinions that matter " team at Sky News ?
The Sky Reply Team wrote the major news items of 2020 on cards , and drew them from a hat to see who would research each topic . Normally we would have spent the day watching the latest stories from Sky News , but half the shock jocks and shock frocks are away at present . Possibly because of yuletide celebrations , although they might be hiding in shame after being wrong about practically everything for 12 miserable , misleading , misinformed , mendacious months .
Ken junior , the cheeky bugger , posed the question .
" How can you tell when a Sky News anchor is talking rubbish ? " he said
" I don't know . " I said
" It's when their lips are moving . " he said .
Anyway , we drew the cards from the hat . They were a bit soggy because somebody had left the hat under a drip from the leaking roof . It panned out like this .
'Gabbo drew " climate change " .
Monte drew " Daniel Andrews "
Ken junior drew " Donald Trump "
That left me with the hardest one " Coronavirus ".
I reckon Ken junior rigged it , because even with my good glasses I couldn't read the soggy cards with the running ink .
The team decided to run an individual Sky Reply for each topic and these will follow in future posts .
Meanwhile we had to deal with the bogged ute in the back yard . Gabbo said he would just rev it like crazy while everybody else pushed . Five minutes later the ute had only moved about 12 inches ....... straight down into the mud . Ken junior said he knew it wouldn't work , but Gabbo said it would have worked fine if Dog hadn't jumped in the back thinking we were going somewhere and weighed it down . He yelled at Dog , who stopped panting with enthusiasm , licked his chops nervously , and slunk under the house to watch from a safe distance . " Stupid bloody Dog " said Gabbo .
The next technique was suggested by Ken junior , who jumped in the ute and said he would "rock it out " by continuously going from first gear to reverse on the column shift as fast as possible . Mud flew , gears crunched , wheels spun . Dog couldn't bear to watch and vanished completely under the house .
I couldn't bear to watch either . " You are stuffing the gearbox ! " I yelled .
In the end we got our mate Trevor to tow it out with his old Landrover .
" I will leave it parked on the road ". Ken junior said .
" Well you better lock it then . " I said .
" Who would be bothered stealing an old ute with a stuffed gearbox ? " Ken junior said .
I hate Christmas .
Your comrade , Ken .
