"It commands your attention"
I was just wondering who out of the What Hi-Fi reviewers coined this phrase? I've seen it in quite a few of your reviews, and it never fails to make me raise a smile. I liken it to some of the commentary I watch on the footy:
"Take a bow, son!" - Andy Gray
"...a bit of Turkish delight there!" - numerous matches involving Turkey
You get the picture
Was probably Clare; I reckon she thinks up everything....
You're right - she thought up that last post I made.
And this one.
Such are the psychic powers of an editor-in-cheif!!
Well I do have gypsy blood....
But no, 'commands attention' not one of mine. Give me an example of a recent usage, Andy G, and i'll name the commander!
Duncan2112:Such are the psychic powers of an editor-in-cheif!!
We don't call her Clairvoyant Clare for nothing
"not the last word" is the one I always notice - is it being used increasingly more in the magazine or is it just me?!

Not until next Tuesday, anyway.
Whats happening next Tuesday then?
Or do I have to ask Clare?
All my predictions about the next-generation PlayStation 3 will be confirmed by Sony's announcement at E3....
Clare - I'm thinking of starting my own business - will it be successful?
Ah, i'm afraid private consultations are unavailable 
Clare Newsome:All my predictions about the next-generation PlayStation 3 will be confirmed by Sony's announcement at E3....
And what were they?
(checks betfair)
Oh, I'd forgotten that E3 was due to happen. Had other things on my mind.
In true psychic style, I shall make several vague pronouncements, one of which is bound to be later seized on as prophetic....
Cheaper PS3
Slimmer PS3
PS3 with larger hard-drive
PS3 TV functionality upgrade
PS3 audio upgrade
I should, of course, under the new Trading Standards guidelines, point out that any psychic services are for entertainment purposes only
Not me - I would've said 'demands...'
