what about the have-a-go pensioner who foiled a robbery today? He's a good old fellow

still don't get how come he didnt hear the answerfone message on his own answerfone at any point before the mail called.
― piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:54 (seventeen years ago)
AND if he didnt then surely he may have never heard it unless it had been drawn to his attention by the mail. how many 78 year olds can use an answerfone properly?
― piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:55 (seventeen years ago)
my dad's only 62, he can't use an answerphone!

Pop quiz! Which tabloid newspaper recently ran a front page story attacking "Singer Kate Perry" for posing with a knive WHILE CHILDREN DIED?If you answered the same newspaper who has paid Georgina Baillie an undisclosed sum for exclusive video shots of her ass you are right.So I expect she'll be vilified on the front page tomorrow after posing naked with a knive in a bath of blood with another woman WHILE CHILDREN DIED?NSFW shot of Andrew Sach's granddaughters tits here.

The most shocking thing about that photo is the fakeness of the blood. Tsk, tsk, no attention to detail...

cock rock = another term for 'hair metal' bands like Motley Crue et al.
― Autobot Lover (jel --), Friday, 31 October 2008 19:41 (seventeen years ago)
The most shocking thing about that photo is just how crap and tacky it is!

'uckin'

Ned, is your argument that because Georgina Baillie takes her clothes off for a living, she is somehow less worthy of sympathy in this instance than she would be if she were, say, a nun?
― Carrie Bradshaw Layfield (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Friday, 31 October 2008 20:18 (seventeen years ago)
Or, to put it another way, would you say that because of her attire she was asking for this?
HIGNFY basically shite. Hislop looked disdainful, while no-one else appeared to share his indignation. Tom Baker possibly worst host since Brian Blessed.
― ailsa, Friday, 31 October 2008 21:48 (seventeen years ago)
everything about this story has screamed 'typical britain' but nothing more so than the semi-detatched-suburban plum coloured bathroom carpet in that photo. even though it's a shot of 2 naked blood-soaked goths in a bath with a knife you can't shake the feeling that somewhere in that house BULLSEYE is probably on.
― piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 21:53 (seventeen years ago)
Naked bloodsoaked Goths + Bullseye = all that makes this country great.

No, I have never argued we should have any sympathy for her. She seems to be able to look after herself quite well.

My point was merely about the hypocrisy of The Sun. Hardly news I know but it just wound me up.

also when he shouted at paul morley for being a square for writing for the guardian.
Oh. The. Irony.
I rather enjoyed Ham Baker on HIGNFY.

Ross and Brand are both former Sun/NOTW columnists, yes?

It's almost as if the papers are written by feckless motherfuckers who'll say owt to slag off the BBC.
― Nothing has transpired (Noodle Vague), Monday, 3 November 2008 10:42 (seventeen years ago)
no. "sister" papers = mututal fucking loathing (qv guardian and observer, esp when latter was edited by alton). that said: if big rupe wanted them all to fall into line, i don't think he'd have to try very hard.
cake/eat for rupe, then; everybody else is just flailing about as usual.

It's nice to see newspapers taking a strong line on offensive broadcasts tho. I was thinking that as I was reading the anti-semitic screeds on Nat "Lofthouse" Rothschild in the Mail last weekend.

Q: Does a journalist using the word "geld" have any other context than "I Hate Jews"? I could be wrong, I guess.

The MoS gave away a free CLIFF CD yesterday. It was rubbish.

Pretty sure Cliff's written a few "CHRIST KILLERS" letters in his time, too.

Earlier this year he EXCLUSIVELY told the MAIL ON SUNDAY that he thought the BEATLES' records UNLISTENABLE because they were OUT OF TUNE. "It was INAPPROPRIATE," the Peter Pan of Pop Legend quipped.

The MOS - every article seemed to spew forth about JRoss' "unstoppable tirade of filth", which seems odd - maybe they hadn't read the transcripts that were in their own paper?
― Mark G, Monday, 3 November 2008 11:02 (seventeen years ago)
It's almost like the whole paper's written by feckless Nazi cunts.

Tom Baker possibly worst host since Brian Blessed.
"best" host since blessed you mean!! they were both extraordinarily entertaining and doofy and both seemingly unrattled by constant stream of abuse they received from the panel

Bloated BBC out of touch with the viewers
But, I can hear the cry, what about the left-wing bias?
― A country only rich people know (Ned Trifle II), Monday, 3 November 2008 11:24 (seventeen years ago)
With Radio 2 it should be "what about the 1985 bias?"
― Do they mean us? They surely do! It's Ray Conniff! (Marcello Carlin), Monday, 3 November 2008 11:45 (seventeen years ago)
They should run it like the NHS!
Pay next to nothing, and people could then show how brilliant they are before going off to the private sector and *THEN* earn millions. And not before.
)or should they?(
― Mark G, Monday, 3 November 2008 11:51 (seventeen years ago)
They should maybe not sack people because the Daily Mail tells them to.

Paul Gambaccini, who presents a weekly show on the network, said she'd stood by Russell Brand through thick and thin. He told Radio 5 Live he had warned Douglas about the dangers when she first hired Brand: "In this profession, we never disparage a colleague - it's an unwritten rule. But when his hire was announced, I sent an email of protest to her, the only one I've ever sent in my entire career.

Oh right, "she'd stood by..." refers to Douglas not Gambo!
