This is an interesting point. Harty needs controversy to get callers ringing in (or people reading the Herald). Where better to come than an internet message board where, perhaps, 'real life' standards of behaviour don't apply.

What she said. I also like Harty but sometimes it's as if he's learned a new 'funny' phrase and is just showing off.
Would anyone get away with using that term 'in a work environment'?
