snarky researcher commentary on slander of Tim Timperton

 Intriguingly enough, the secretive [[Council for Quezlarian Research]] emphatically deny the above claim! But we need not doubt it; Tim Timperton was a high ranking member of the council before taking up post as an [[agony uncle]] in the [[Folktown Records]]. Why he would change career from a Quezlarian researcher to an [[agony uncle]], one can only guess...

 I really must protest the use of the term [[Agony uncle]] to describe a fine upstanding lad like Tim Timperton.  As my ''esteemed'' fellow researcher is obviously aware, an "[[Agony uncle]]" is a '''derogatory''' term applied to employees of the [[Folktown Records]] weekly newspaper.  While I admit that Tim works at that fine establishment, he is a fine, upstanding lad.  Not at all like that pile of [[splak]] father of his, [[Bysted Timperton]].  I should know, I play cards with the old dog every Tuesday and he cheats.

 Not living close enough to the Folktown Records offices to have ever heard the term "[[Agony uncle|agony uncle]]" used in a derogatory manner, I stand by my use of the phrase as it stands in the entry.
