[LS6_Fox]

It is Homer, Cate!

 

[Miles Away]

Calls for investigations of Murdoch owned Fox News over here...not a moment too soon...Fox News is ****ing horrible.

 

[jb5000]

Really?!

I certainly would, redheads are where it's at.

 

[jb5000]

Just one more step up the chain from the journalists who were all laid off at NOTW last week. Two links further up should do the job.

Probability of her being appointed to another position within the organisation somewhere has to almost 1.

I thought for a minute you meant that nice Natalie who does the interviews.

Rebecca Brooks has not been able to do her job. After sacking the NOW workers who had not been involved in hacking all the fire went on Rebecca Brooks and for a time she was doing an effective job of shielding the man who matters to Rupert who is James Murdoch. With both Murdochs going to apear before Parliament Rebecca Brooks in the end failed to protect James.

Things have changed over the last few days since Senator Rockefeller got involved. A parliamentary summons can compel Rebecca Brooks to give evidence. I believe I am right in thinking that it cannot compel Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch as American citizens. I was surprised that they eventually accepted the invitation. Then it occurred to me that to refuse would send a terrible message to the Senate. Apart from American advertisers the people Murdoch most has to fear are the Senate Commerce Committee.

I did a lot of work with News International up until recently. The whole place was run on the fear of Murdoch and Brooks. A horrible, horrible place to work.

I have tried to avoid name calling or unpleasant personal comments - I leave that to Beighton and Blue Maniac.

Whoa. Nearly missed this. You know better than to accuse me of things I haven't done.

not like you at all to call anybody a **** is it.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Other than you, no.

Oh and one bloke at work. Anyone who's a ****, really.

:icon_lol: Harsh, Matt.

I'd just like to say I like having the Gwill around, he brings something a little different. Some of it may be rooted in senility, or perhaps good old-fashioned loonism, or maybe he's just spent too much time in tea rooms, but I for one wouldn't trade him for a jas123, a SuperScout or a syd.

Or a spion. Pendantic twat.

No Mawsley you know I would never put that. I regard you and all other members with unconditional regard. I have been told yesterday how poor the standard of my posts are (comparisons with Syd) but I have tried to avoid name calling or unpleasant personal comments - I leave that to Beighton and Blue Maniac.

I leave it to Spion to decide whether "pedantic twat" is namecalling or not. However, I could swear that the top quote included the words "senility" and "loonism". There would appear to be a comparison with Syd.

pendantic.

Look up the word 'context'.

Definitely no comparison.

I wasn't offended David.

I give BM a massive benefit of the doubt and extra understanding because of his affliction :icon_wink

You mean that the root of none of your writing can be so described? If that is so, I would be very surprised. It is natural that older and 'unusual' people will write in a different manner and that this will be recognised by others. I think I would be offended if people failed to recognise me as older and unusual; I'm happy to be seen as both and I can't imagine why you should not be too. This is not name-calling; at worst, it is 'label-attaching' and if you haven't got a label, you're a nobody.

 

[spionfox]

if you haven't got a label, you're a nobody.

Patrick McGoohans character would probably disagree!

The above post is bad mannered patronising and offensive drivel.

"The root of none of your writing" is a strange phrase. As with any poster who has at time tried to be humorous there will be posts that fail I am sure that people can "cherry pick" incompetent posts from me as from any regular contributor.
You may regard yourself as "older and unusual" - fine but you wouldn't know me if we passed each other in the street so leave me out.

However, tempting it may be to reply in kind I will not change the rule I have kept to since I came on this forum to attack the post and not the poster..

The younger members of this forum take their lead from the behaviour of their elders.

Resist and desist gentlemen, I implore you.

Is this really a reply to the post you quoted? I fail to see the link. In relation to your response to my post, you appear to have gone out of your way to be deeply offended by an inconsequential throwaway comment.
