mockney piers

True, In a recent episode of Family Guy when it emerges that Lois starred in a porn movie when she was young it's Joe's wife who comes round and calls her a 'slut'. It must be true then as all truths are contained within the parabulous marvel that is Family Guy.

just waiting for fat lady now.

My friend is about to have number four. When he asked his partner why they aren't getting rid of the girls' baby clothes as number four will be a boy, she sort of shrugged. He looked weary and defeated as he related this to me.

That is of course mockli?o/a, not about going to the loo. Mind you, now that I think about it....

Thinking about a number two as it goes.

It's back on stage as it goes. I saw the writer barking on about how relevant it still is and i just thought 'hmmm, not so much'

It is all a bit "yes poor poeple are terribly gauche you know, but give them a bit Tolstoy and the results are quite encouraging, they even attire themselves in appropriately comfortable accoutrements. I wouldn't give them the vote or anything, but it stops them puking on one's shoes of a stroll down Leamington High Street. What's that, they have the vote, well I never..."

Though Educating Rita hasn't aged especially well (Both lead performance's are great, it just doesn't ring so true any more). Little Voice is marvellous though.

ooh and and Face Off to the bad.

I'm actually quite partial to the utterly daft National Treasure films, call it a guilty pleasure and file under who the hell knows.

to win or go up? West Ham haven't got a great record in the second tier frankly, we normally scrape through; trevor brooking header seasons excepted. Excuse for that photo again quids.

The mocklet has almost outgrown the cot, but considering his predilection from launching himself from heights I'm not sure he's ready for bed quite yet. Soon though, soon.

In all fairness cage can be ok, especially in high camp mode, and occasionally actually manages to act well, but he does choose some shocking titles, and when he's miscast it's usually frighteningly bad.

If it's for my own safety them why am I not allowed to do so? Our should I try not to let things like this wind me up?

That's not you Rosie, before you blow another fuse ;-P

I think she may have stopped short of standing by her own argument by a bit of reductio ad absurdum in an attempt to let herself off the hook. Thus giving food for detractors without the need to address the salient points. A pattern of behaviour exploited by many of the loons on our own fair forum come to think of it.

*steps gingerly away* Are you looking at my bra? *runs*

Just a stubborn arse.

I rather like Victoria Coren's take on it, it nicely crystallises how I felt about it http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jun/19/victoria-coren-slutwalks-feminism-fashion

You may jest but it'd get a huge amount more exposure than some byline in the dark recesses of the bbc news website where it'd get slightly fewer hits than a story about a new roundabout in the isle of man. If it's any consolation as a Spaniard myself (from Majadahonda, the Madrid suburb in question funnily enough) I read the Spanish press quite a bit and none of it gets reported here. Even the recent elections where the Socialists were massively punished by the electorate didn't even make it beyond p93!

They're probably just rehashing a Heat story ;) Plus, wholly depressingly, people seem to care more about that :(

Very few details have been published in spain though. it's mostly opinion pieces to be fair. the only concrete news is that the Madrid body in question think the mum's a bit of a nutter, the breastfeeding consultant seems to regret the 'chaotic' conclusion she came to and a judicial review has been ordered. So it seems to me that the only thing that makes this different than the thousands of such cases daily that don't make the beeb is that someone latched on to it and a social media campaign has started. If it's of interest to bloggers and forum commentators then that's great and clearly the coverage is large in the non mainstream media. But perhaps the beeb are waiting to see if anything interesting comes out of it and in the meantime is spending their reduced correspondent budget on things like renewed violence in Northern Ireland, Cameron's coalition on action in Libya dissolving and the immenent collapse of the Greek economy ;-)

In all fairness these family issues happen all day every day all over the place. The only difference is that a social media campaign has sprung up in this case. 3,000 members does not a BBC news story make, though the fact that it's made the papers in Spain and forced a judicial review might be.

Plot holes, improbable insights, inexplicable story progression, paper thin characters, bizarre motives, ludicrous plot devices. Yep it's Spoother. Great fun though. *uncovers sheet over barrles* "There's enough spopholdahyde to dissolve three thousand children, he was shipping them to India, they'd have dissappeared without a trace" *characters look at each other questioningly, shrug and down a quart of moonshine* "Makes sense to me boss"

beat me to it fellow pedant !! :-D
