Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 26, 2006 MP's are the biggest freeloaders And so are everybodys common day folk. Maybe, but they don't get their second home paid for by the tax payer, like MP's do. What about the benefits brigade who get their rent paid for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted January 26, 2006 MP's are the biggest freeloaders And so are everybodys common day folk. Maybe, but they don't get their second home paid for by the tax payer, like MP's do. What about the benefits brigade who get their rent paid for them? But they don't actually own the house, MP's by contrast get to keep the house or flat that tax payers have paid for. Why isn't it returned back to the treasury when they cease to be MP's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,200 Posted January 26, 2006 Or, even better, was a Liverpool sign at the Champs League final regarding Croatian Igor Biscan: SuperCroatIgorBiscanUsedToBeAtrocious Mary Poppins has a lot to answer for. I thought the Sun's "SuperCaleygoballisticCelticareatrocious' when then tiny Inverness Caledonian Thistle beat John Barnes' Celtic was brilliant. I read The Times but the Sun is good for a light read every so often & excellent for football news & reviews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 27, 2006 A Deathlist TV programme is around the corner methinks (Bravo perhaps?) I think the Keef story is a load of bollocks, a Sun journo wants to cause a rumpus over the Deathlist. You know how these things snowball. One casual mention in the currant bun will soon lead to questions in the House of Commons, calls to ban the website before the coppers come marching in....or maybe not!

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 27, 2006 Ever since their headline following the pro-hunt protest at the House of Commons last year - "For fox sake!" - I've had a sneaking admiration for The Sun's headline writers at least. Not a particularly original headline, it's probably cribbed from the Leicester City fanzine of the same name. What gets me about the Sun today is its unctiousness. The old Sun in the 70s/80s were bolder, cruder and to the point. They were bastards, but you knew where you where with them. The Sun in recent years is rather more slippery, more sneaky insult than outright abuse. And just as they propped up Thatcher in the 80s, so they're doing so to Blair, even though most of the journos hate everything about the Labour movement. All because its not in their owners interest to go against New Labour....yet! They even do this 'some of my best friends are' nonsense with the Halibut woman they have in it. Seems like a front to me. It seems that they picked out a pretty asian, stuffed her in a Burka and asked her smile, some other hack does the rest. Perhaps I'm being harsh on the actual journos as its the sub-editors who are the true enemy: They are the ones who print quotes out of context and turn stories into lurid and hysterical headlines....

Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted January 28, 2006 I like this idea of a Death List programme... The interviewer grilling the silhouetted figures of TF, Windsor & Bou- infilled with clips of ranting relatives of Dicky O & Clive Dunn. I hope the Beeb do it- I'd love to see Bou taking on Paxman...

The interviewer grilling the silhouetted figures of TF, Windsor & Bou- infilled with clips of ranting relatives of Dicky O & Clive Dunn. The format may need some work to keep the viewers excited. Perhaps something like "Greatest Britons", with interviews with the candidates and DL members canvassing them. I hope the Beeb do it- I'd love to see Bou taking on Paxman... Shudder. Poor Paxman. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 28, 2006 I'd have it as a weekly show (50 weeks) which profiles each of the candidates. If one dies before they are covered, their profile is shown as an obit. Then add other features, a bit of debate, a phone-in (making suggestions for the following year lists) and interviews with relatives of the (soon to be) deceased (without them knowing the true context of the interview). Maybe even a competition (guess who's next!). I think it has great potential. I can see the headline now.....TV's sickest show ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could make a thread about it and record your drum solo's and somehow post them every so often. I'm sure theres a way to get your music on the computer. But if you get a drumming thread then I get a lyrics thread.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
