He is a cretin.

I'm sorry, but I could become an 'expert' on numerous subjects if I studied certain forums for long enough and read newspapers on the subject.

Football, hurling, horse-racing etc, all these things I know absolutely nob-all about, but how long would it take to become 'an expert'

Of course, my book would only contain my opinions, and articles and posts copied and pasted from websites and the tabloids.

What he didn't do and I don't even know how the heap of crap made it to the printers - was take the opportunity to approach GENUINE WGs and Punters alike, get it straight from the 'horses' mouth.

I have emailed him at the Irish Examiner and told him so. Politely obviously...
