At the risk of being controversial, while it's sad that Jade Goody's passed away, is it really necessary for yet more 8 page tributes in the newspapers and overly gushy messages from people that barely knew the girl, only from what they read on OK magazine or whatever. She's also being painted as 2009's Princess Di.... Undoubtedly she's done a lot of good in awareness of cancer but the media coverage over here is getting unbearable, leave her and her family in peace.

'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
I misread that and thought you said the last few jokes in this thread are a disgrace ... so I just wasted the last 5 minutes trawling back through the pages of this thread looking for the offending jokes

Referee in the Sunday League I play in is famed for dodgy decisions and mad
cap comments. On Sunday one of our strikers hit a shot, it was deflected wide
by defender and our winger shouted "corner ball" .... "No" shouts the ref ...
"Its a round ball"
Another game, same ref ... ball goes out for a throw ... "Our ball" shouts one of
our lads ... Ref replies ... "It might be your ball ... but its thier throw"
Closing minutes of another game ... same ref (very hard to get people to ref
CCFL Division 3 games!!!). We 2-1 down, pushing everything forward ...
"Time ref" asks one of the lads ... ref checks his watch ... "twenty to one"

Agree. Even though I am a fan of hers I dont want to read about her constantly, I dont want to see her on tv constantly either. Thankfully its a little tamer here.
I don't mind coverage that she's died, so much.. But it's the whole media-driven 'Essex Princess' thing and 8 page pullouts that really grinds my gears. And there was an Irish flag left at a shrine too. Why?

Irish fan maybe?

As a cheapo who empties the dust from the bag in my vacuum cleaner, then reuses the bag for as long as possible, I always wonder why the dust is a uniform grey colour.
I was watching TV today, thinking it was Sky news, and was surprised at the sudden increase in quality of reporting and detail, as well as the lack of Goody-related news.
It was only when I changed channels that I realised I had been watching the BBC. They show much less trivial crap* on their news, and focus on real news stories. I think it is channels like Sky and newspapers like The Sun which know that they can manipulate people into caring about something and buying / consuming the media covering that issue.
*Jade Goody's death is not crap and is a tragedy, but is really just another cancer death, and no more a tragedy than any of the other victims of the disease dying every day without glorification in some sections of the media. In that sense is is a trivial news topic.
Sky and the Sun owned by Rupert Murdoch.... hmm coincidence.

The thread should be renamed cause i just found out that i can't actually say anything thats on my mind in here
I like the word... "TETCHY"

Speak your mind Jock , we will listen but be mindful that you do not offend. Best bet is to try and keep it to a select topic so that way you will only run the chance of offending a minority.Also bear in mind that if you offend a minority of one then that could lead to the breakdown of all that is good in the world.
Personally I would only allow practising Roman Catholics to join and moderate a forum where everyone hides behind a username . That way if they unwittingly offend anyone , because this is the hard part to grasp, they don't know anything about them or their history or who their family is then the Roman Catholic in them will slowly eat them up with guilt.
I'll update this next year.
the problem it seems to be that i am offending a minority of one and it looks like that person has more power than the man above when it comes to censorship

i hate dictators
Yep..i hate dictators
Jock MIB suspended 1 week for trolling.
oscar, a web forum is a dictatorship by definition, someone has to hold the keys. If you have an absolute moral objection to dictatorships, you should take an absolute moral position, stand up for your beliefs, and stop visiting all web forums, social networks, and most websites.

Why haven't Pret A Manger or Greggs ever opened in Dublin? I just had the worst sandwich ever from M&S, the cheese was like rubber and the lettuce was rank! The standard of pre packed sandwiches is terrible here!! The freshly made ones aren't much better either......why is lunch so cr@p???
