Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?

I have black friends. I work hard pay my taxes and dont commit crime. I would have hated the Nazis if I had been around in those days. And I vote BNP.

So Mr Smug Liberal journalist, your point is what exactly?

Once again, it's one standard for black people and another standard for fucking idiots like myself. Get a grip, Gordon.

Which scruffy £2.75 per hour 19-year-old basement assistant didn't double check the ad vetting then?

(Prominent ILX poster's name deleted)

That's why The Times is a good starting point. Maybe the Indy as well but yeah political balance and shit. The Torygraph is more solid across the board but when they decide to be ridiculous they top everyone
If you're going to be a bastard at least be straight about it like those darlings at the Metro or The Daily Hate Mail. I've said it before and I'll say it again, at least The Times is upfront about its fuckery. Also I think my hatred spewed over into 'wanting vengence' when they hired Peaches Geldof briefly. I swear my eyes rolled back into my head. That was the end for me.

ability to operate in a sensitive political environment
Lol at 'choice phrasing'

EXTRA lol. How does he explain that one to his many ethnic friends?

Yeah, if you're going to have right wing keech and tollie then at least the Times is honest right wing keech and tollie.

Sorry, this job has is no longer live. You may be interested in the similar jobs listed on the right.

oh they're on the right alright do you see

From this photo I assume "local coffee shop" means "McDonalds next door to Dunkin' Donuts"

Why exactly does the Guardian publish on a Saturday?

the vegetarian recipe and charlie brooker's screen burn. i wanted to cry last week when they replaced vegetarian food for things-chefs-do-with-lamb.

and brooker was off sick last week too. oh these dark times.

i think the thing about the guy in the coffee shop is perfectly okay! the problem with it is the (presumably a sub's fault, or something) headline that suggests it is a criticism of "bloggers" and not "a guy in a coffee shop". sadly that is probably in the top 18%, say, of this week's guardian columnist's efforts

Bring back "Powerblogger" Tony Naylor and Ruth Fowler's Daddy Issues

I believe an anti-blogger clause has recently been inserted into the Guardian's Code of Conduct.

Is that Ruth Fowler facebook group still going?

Ah, there's a different one now. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24256040691

HAHAHA, here's a rum thing. I have a mutual friend with her. This mutual friend is the boss of the modelling company who gave me a day as an extra on a Bollywood set. Looks like Ms. F's been doing some saucy stuff on the sly.

A statue of Vishnu is not an "extra", show some respect man

I'm only four degrees of Facebook seperation from RFDI

i know suzy who knows everyone

who is worst columnist in the guardian then? I can't decide if I'd nominate Zoe Williams or Laura Barton. Actually it's prob hard to beat Barton, that "shit poetry" style of music writing is really sickening.

As if on cue. (+ I didn't even see Ronan's post till I'd posted that.)

i know suzy who knows everyone

Par exemple

His (Tom Parker Bowles) sister is nice, but at a party I once told him that something he was saying was the most smug thing I'd heard in a month of Sundays, although I can't remember what it was now (I posted about this party at the time). This is probably because immediately to our right I was spooked by my friend Dan arriving to same party in a group comprising some artphags and David Furnish.

My favourite Suzy quote to date..

They paid her to write that?

i love zoe williams. i don't know what's not to love about her. i think she was at her best documenting pregnancy craziness. i guess that writing about childy family kind of stuff might put her in with the fifty best ecological half term holiday day trip supplement kind of guardian filler stuff, but i think she's entertaining.

that's Independent filler stuff, by definition

For the love of god can they ditch this "we sent our SPORTS journalist out to mow a lawn/drink a beer/have a bath" thing they have going at the moment.

It is so lame and is exposing how bad the writers are. EG the Olympic Sports one with pieces beginning "It was a sunny day in East London" etc...it's woeful!

They had a resident feminist the other day demanding that, at the end of their sentence, released female prisoners should get the same kind of support given to the likes of Barry George

Jesus fucking christ, new depths of unfunny plumbed here

Funny pictures made unfunny by Guardian trying to be hip.

HOW DO I SHOT GUARDIANZ

"lolcats" have never been funny

lolhacks, morelike

When's the Graun gonna get on the Blingee craze is what this observer wants to know.

blingee was funny, unlike lolcats, but that was over a year ago, prob more. i lost my blingee pictures when my laptop died earlier this year but i was awesome in them, paris T-shirt and everything

Has David Cameron got in on lolcats yet?

As a cat owner, I really like lolcats. I do not like lolbush.

One problem with the online edition is that rubbish like that is just one click away from the front page. If that were in the printed edition, it would thankfully be buried somewhere in one of the weekend supplements.

today's student essentials in the pull out guide thing includes a £20 panini press. (which, apparently, is a device for burning stripes onto the tops of sandwiches).

essential

and long-sleeve t-shirts

Um, I have a panini press, and it is fucking fantastic, I must say. £35 from John Lewis, mind.

they've remove the witty comments on the tv-guide, from movies they obviously hate.

I never go out in long-sleeved T-shirts anymore unless they have stripes burned into them.

are panini presses the new toastie machine? every student had one when i was in uni (and those WERE great)

"What would Will Hodgkinson look like if we slammed his face into a panini press and switched it on? We decided to find out..."
(cover story for this Saturday's Weekend...)

or a "breville" as one would call it

xpost

I binned the student guide w/o reading it. There was a decentish article about people using blogs to serve out spam & install malware in the technology section, I thought.

So Guardian readers are much more likely to be Tory voters than the public.
