Boag Vs Rissington (a Web Somme in Jelly)
Monday, June 23rd, 2008
As a prolific podcast listener I’d have to ask myself (and others) who the winner would be in a jelly wrestle between The Rissington Podcast and the Boagworld Podcast? We’ll call this the battle of the Web Somme; an in the trenches pitched assault whose first sortie took down the Boagworld (Boagworld, World of Boag) interlude. Bloody nice shooting, wot! Although I kind of miss it Paul, bring it back.
As a colonial its important to weigh up the two opponents before placing my 20 cent bet. In the Blue Corner sit Paul Boag and his straightman Marcus Lillington (of Headscape) - try to picture Batman and Robin without the gay costumes. They’ve pummelled out 122 episodes of highly informative web standards lacrosse. Their army of loyal devotees worship DOCTYPE as God and are willing to suffer minor abrasions in a quirky suburban English manner - with humour and a hard cup of tea.
In the skies Paul and Marcus would be the aces defending a very British Tradition of the BBC and Thames Television logos. Hand to hand I think they’d be a solid pair of knobbly fellas willing to break a hatstand or two. Seriously. Maybe even a pint glass.
