Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

I'd rather they put a Speedway track around the Athletics field up at the Sports Centre. I'd go.

 

The Daily Mail stooping to new lows again I see.

 

Go on..?

 

This whole Miliband affair.

 

A little more might help. I haven't been keeping that close to that. David of Ex-Sunderland fame, or his younger brother, Ed..?

 

Double post due to forum error.

 

Both.

The Mail have been smearing their dead father, a Marxist immigrant fleeing the Nazi's and serving in the Royal Navy, as being an enemy of the state for supposedly being "a Britain hater" and are suggesting Miliband has similar ideas and the nation needs to know this and be aware of the family.

Naturally, the two sons have come out to defend their father.

 

is there no depth to which the daily Mail will not sink in their bid to smear any Labour politician? Their comments about Milliband senior are disgraceful, but typical of the Fail. I would feel dirty wiping my backside with it!

 

Bloody hell, and they doff their caps to the Royal Family without question.

 

Doesn't it just make you want to throttle someone.

Slightly silly but mostly effective.

There's too many of them but apart from that it's cool.

Hey, some of us still like to amble lazily around that track. Some good athletes have come out of that place.

I don't really care about party politics but I think I hate that Dacre guy even more than Murdoch.







Arrrrrggghhhghhghhhhh

 

Have the database errors finally come to a halt..? I got a few. Very efficient of Qwerty to bunch up all his Q&A's into one reply.

I'll reply to one of mine. I live near the running track, and no, I wouldn't want to see an end to the athletics track at all. The Speedway track would fit nicely round the outside, but they'd have to move the fence [big deal]. Is there still a road cycling track on the very outside..? It's been such a long time since I've been that way.
Actually, it's been years and it's only a mile or two away..! The shame of it.

 

The Newsnight debate... If you can call it that was interesting.

The editor of The Daily Mail, the aforementioned Paul Dacre, refused to attend, instead sending his deputy.

TSS/Qwerty, if you get a chance, watch this from Newsnight on the matter...

Blimey, I admire Emily Maitlis for letting them hang themselves. Paxman would have jumped in and would have stopped the reveal. Of course, my leanings are hugely away from the Daily Mail. In my perfect world, that newspaper [if it indeed qualifies] would be removed from the publication lists, for its flagrant inability to do what it purports to do, which is the report the news. I think I've said before, I don't like news reporting with bias, and therefore I have a profound distaste for opinionated newspapers [although the diesel lubricant did seem to make the fish and chips smell better], and opinionated media. The Daily Mail takes opinion into the areas of doctrine, and it hooks its readers into some far off image of what was mythically Victorian Britain for a particular age [not this one, otherwise they'd be celebrating it]. The most worrying aspect is that it is hugely popular, mostly online, because it teaches those mythical values to young minds, who have, at best, a sketchy idea of rights and wrongs, and because I don't see them backing off in the long term. They are like, for example, the profound doubters of human influenced climate change who'll need that final bit of evidence, ie. the wave that finally covers their home, some 5 miles from the coast, to finally admit that maybe they might be wrong. But only maybe..!

That last bit was a lousy analogy, but I hope you'll go with it. I'm tired and I'm writing my thoughts on the fly.

 

The Daily Malice probably one of the scummiest newspapers in the UK. Nothing to with Milliband and got no time for politicians of any party but merely because the malice have had it in for football supporters for years...don't buy the paper and attempt to avoid it online. The quicker people throw this scum paper in the gutter the better.

 

And the new Google+ interface

Taking an almost perverse dislike of it within seconds. Something is going to change. Google is going to have to go. [which means a whole lot of bother online wise]...

 

Banana sent me what I can only assume is a cryptic message last night.
