The Wardman Wire

Every so often a sequence of as few as 3 words grates like a screwdriver on a blackboard.

From the Independent’s “computer games” column this week, by Rebecca Armstrong the “Games Mistress” in a review of “Patapon“:

…you’re the ruler of a bunch of winsome little warriors who can be manoeuvred through the beat of a tribal drum - but if you don’t have pitch perfect rhythm…

Pitch perfect rhythm !!!!

Aaaaarrrrgggghhh !

Presumably her lingerie is perfectly aerodynamic, her cold tap is perfectly articulate, the cornflakes she had for breakfast are an excellent building material, and the tyres on her car are ideally flavoured to the correct degree of orangey tastiness.

This Games Mistress needs to be gently taught not to make category errors by the Belles of St Trinians (old and new versions below), if necessary by torture on the wallbars of the gym (sorry - I couldn’t find a picture of that scene).

This other St Trinians photo from the 1954 film seems to have insinuated itself into the post; it must be a Friday.
