Re: The disgraceful BBC

Not quite as bad as it seemed? The BBC now say they contacted Ms Rose and asked her if she would be happy for them to run the story. She was, but the BBC should have run it passed a scrutiny committee if Jack could not smell the manure himself. Have you never been in the situation where something i...

And if that ever happens, the retaliation will be?? Probably aimed at the suppliers of the munitions capable of such a task.

Re: SCAMMERS !

I don't know why the sudden prevalence of these ads is occurring but I do know that TV ads are not inexpensive so there must be some catch for them to make money. Anyone else seeing this? :-? PP I suspect it is to snag your payment details, set up a revolving subscription, hook you into the 'game '.

Re: Friday Jokes

"I am going to put this somewhere safe." An ancient incantation that opens a portal to a random point in space time through which all safely kept things travel, never to be seen again. This does not belong in the Joke Thread. [-X It is an absolutely valid explanation of what happens to safely kept ...

I blame Brexit.

If we were still in the EU the overall EU temperature would be much colder.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?

Telegraph The former Cabinet minister [Heseltine] said fewer people would move to the UK if Britain and Western countries spent more on aid as part of a “moral” approach to immigration policy. He also said Europe should impose a “ protective barrier ” to reduce the flow of migration, which he said w...

Re: Someone has to do the metars.

G CPTN, fear probably as a result of it being very close to outside. On the aluminium tube that people fly in, terminal to terminal with no fresh air between departures and arrivals you are quite insulated. A flight in a Logair Islander was similar with just a less secure door than your average car.

T15, quite. I do wonder about Vine. Whilst purporting to be a friend he demonstrated complete failure of empathy. Jon Sopel otoh was far more understanding.

Re: The disgraceful BBC

What I find very puzzling is that it has been said that he did not 'know' about all this furore until Thursday? Agree. Very much a vendetta by the Sun with presumably no pre warning to him. As I said, I think there will be a lot of Hu Flung Dun involved. Jon Sopel behaved impeccably but I think Jer...

Well that's that then, Jeremy Vine f****d and the Current Bun too.

Tim Davie has hold of a slippery and smelly stick too and a long holiday while he considers his options might be on the cards.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

I once did a survey of 50 clubs. After 6 or 7 responses the response pattern was established. After about 15-20 the pattern remained albeit more positive. After the deadline I reported the results and told the 50 where the money would go. Only then did the clubs that had not responded complain and o...

Another source says that a presenter suddenly went on holiday on Monday. I guess that might fuel a hue and cry. And no, it's not Huw Edwards. I was told the name but can't remember it.
