If you enjoy spending half-an-hour flicking through hundreds of channels to decide what to watch, then select your choice only to find it's an ad break then go for it. Otherwise, stick with the black and white set with the coat hanger for an aerial and your life will be no worse off

I wasn't complaining SteveT. It's an observation. I go every year because I think such events should be supported. I just think it's a shame that it's all a bit down at heel and much more could be done. I will complain though about the funfair that happens at the same time - ?2.50 for a child to hook a duck and ?3 a token - daylight robbery. PS you owe me for letting the (renamed) 'Where's the Thank you thread gone?' die!

Are you sure it wasn't a cheese puff stuck on the end of your nose which you'd been scoffing while watching The Street?

A wise decision. I have no problem with self-censorship.

It was here 10 minutes ago. Has it been sent to a sinbin?

Now makes perfect sense thanks reetpetite. I had a dreadful vision of naan bread-sized luggage tags hanging off your madras and sag aloo. Ps, I've got two Ls going spare if they're any use to you

I go every year and always find it a bit of a shoddy afair with tatty stalls and very litle effort. Not a good advertisement for Ireland in my opinion.

You'll be fine if you set off at 6am. Alternatively get a new job in the West end. If all else fails move.

Best Indian takeaway I've had. Your culinary contribution worries me - if you need labels you don't know what your eating. Do your wellies have a L and R on them and are they on the correct feet?

LegalEagle-ish, I'm trying my best to find a reason to be sympathetic with your arguments and justifications in this overheated affair. Your user name implies a goood standard of education and professionalism and you explain that you work as an asylum and immigration lawyer. Yet you call for people to be banned, use bad language and seem quite pleased with yourself (on the other thread) that you managed to get a council house - something your skills and abilities would surely deem to be unnecessary.

If you mean this quote red devil who are you disagreeing with? The Aministrator? 'I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it'. Voltaire

Thanks red devil, I stand corrected

How come we never hear of crop circles in fields of poppies or marajuana - just boring old wheat, barley etc. I think these mischievous nocturnal alien surveyor/artists should tell us or we might have to do a bit of intergalactic phone tapping

Isn't this thread in the wrong section? Camberwell is nearer than Glasgow to my knowledge but given recent discussions has been judged to be unworthy of this section. A ruling please Mr Administrator, Sir, your honour, your grace

You are part of an elite team of astronauts who have set up the first base on Mars. There are six of you, three men and three women, and your mission will last two years. You have all the basic necessities you need to survive in your base but are cut off from earth except for a one hour transmission once a month from NASA HQ. What three things would you take with you to liven up the martian evenings after your shift of rock collecting and exploring has finished? A pack of playing cards, chess set, Pacman video game?

Load of old rubbish

Only thing is Antijen, Sean is referring to (allegedly) illegal ops. The examples you show are, to whatever degree, somehow justified by the powers that be under laws and regulations. The NoTW (allegedly) has been naughty for using info obtained on it's behalf by private investigators using illegal methods. Their Royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, previously took the rap and went to prison for an earlier incident. Now we are being told the practice is more widespread and systemic. It is a scandal and there should be an outcry against such practices. I suspect this may be a slow-burner until more details are revealed.

No, I'm not important enough and have no terrorist inclinations. But if I was a big player, say going for a big banking position or sensitive govt position enquiries would be made into my background, lifestyle etc. Similarly, if I was a film star, there's big money to be made with tittle-tattle and gossip in our celebrity obsessed culture. For example, if I was editor of the NoTW and didn't have a posse of journalists and photographers waiting outside some hilltop village in Italy hoping for a scoop on Wayne Rooney's wedding I wouldn't be editor for long. I'm not saying it's ethical or even legal, rather that it's commonplace.

Hang on to your hat Sean, this one's going to run and it's not just the (Murdoch) press who'll be implicated - most big companies wouldn't be doing their jobs properly if they didn't do something similar.
