On Thursday last week, The Guardian published a travel blog buy a 19-year-old gap-yah student called Max Geraghty. He writes for Skins don't you know. It's awful. Beyond bad. The worst type of journalism and middle-class pretentiousness. It is worth reading for amusement, but, for true hilarity the vitriol from the comments have to be seen to be believed.


It gets better. The following day, an editorial appeared defending the blog and Max. Cue more hilarious comments.


Finally, on Sunday, The Observer ran an article on the whole thing with brilliantly OTT comments from Max's father (oh, did I mention he is also a writer at the Grauniad? Coincidence, non?) about how poor little Max is now deeply hurt and will not be blogging any more about his f**king boring gap year travels.


The world can sleep safely once again.

    • I am doing an art course. If anyone has any large canvases (used or unused, A1 size or larger), I would be happy to take them off your hands if free or cheap! Sorry but not painted with oil, as I am mainly using acrylics and collage, and oil underneath would not work. Please PM if you have anything suitable! Thanks!
    • is anyone getting rid of one or something similar?   thanks 
    • ?????? I have read through this thread and I am totally bemused. It had previously seemed to be a helpful thread, and I  don't want to send it any more off topic by responding to the last two posts by other forum members. Could someone (or admin) please PM me if they think I have stepped out of line and explain why, as recent comments seem to be directed at me and have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. This is a forum, and as in real life people are all  different, with different personalities and sensitivities, and react in different ways,  but the direction this thread has taken is very disappointing. ETA: If the two previous posters want to discuss the points they have made which aren't relevant to the subject of this thread, perhaps one or both of them could start a new thread or threads in the lounge? But probably this thread has come to an end  anyway. Thank you to the other posters for your useful information.
    • Please lmk if you have one for sale. Thanks
