    Shouldn't Soper be "Cradle-snatcher" or "Child Bride"?

      Nothing like the thrill of riding a frisky filly. Barry "rider"Soper salutes you all with a boner .

  • John Boy

    I gave Barry Soper a brickbrat on Newstalk ZB once for using the words Barry Soper and journalist in the same sentence.

  • Cherie

    What does 'Bremworth' mean in this context ?

      Bremworth makes what?

  • Jman

    How about Barry "rugby tour" Soper, for the question he asked John Key in the first election debate.

    It would be nice if the Politicianary was updated with some notes as to the origin of each of the nicks.

    I heard that Garner was known as ‘Doughnuts’ among those that worked in the beltway.
