Ok if anyone is like me and enjoys being annoyed please watch the Sky News coverage of this Royal birth. My god it is absolutely horrendous.

I'm too headachey to bang on about WHY it's stupid but, for one thing, it's horrendously unworkable and just panders to Daily Mail reading idiots.


Thank god someone else has noticed this in amongst the deluge of royal baby crap that's being banded around!
Great thinking to hide the news behind an event Cameron - your quite simply a grade A * [/mini rant]

I would, he absolutely is a *.

Porn filters... won't work, as someone tweeted last night, kids will be able to get around them and adults will be the only ones affected. Also, it's impossible to do without blocking legitimate sites as well. Also, as some giving their opinions on the news are saying, go after the people making and distributing the photos first and foremost.

Also, Mail hypocrisy at its best:

Yeah, the porn filter thing is intensely annoying. Normal adults who enjoy legal porn and who have no children sharing their internet access will be made to seem like weirdo perverts. It's also worrying that the same legislation will block sites relating to self-harm and suicide - as these filters can't usually detect context, it means that as well as sites promoting those things, sites offering help and support for them will also be blocked. So kids who are self-harming or contemplating suicide but feel they can't talk to anyone in person won't be able to access what could be lifesaving support networks. Argh.

I dunno. When I was a teenager, there was no internet on which to watch any. I don't think I saw any til I was 17.

Gotta love the Mail and it's hypocritical ramblings...

If the filters do work, it wont be long before they will be changed from covering just "illegal material" to "morally objectionable" then to "morally questionable" etc etc
Also interesting that Cameron is happy to wait to see how the generic appearance for cigarettes plays out in Australia - but this, which has already turned up issues, he's happy to continue with...

That'll be because he is a * and his unelected and inept coalition is the only thing that could effectively use an opt-out button.

Left my phone at home this morning. Realised about 2 seconds after Mr Red walked off to go to work, ran back up to my flat to get it, only to find that when I changed my keys over to my keyring last night I've picked the wrong one up and couldn't get in the flat. Fail.

I mean I know he's probably looked after his money but he must need some kind of income to live the life he does.
I know he done the musical and I'm sure that paid well, and the farm food adverts which probably gave him some pocket money but going by what little info we know be doesn't seem to be doing anything.

His financial arrangements are * all to do with anyone but himself and the source(s) of any income he may be getting. Why would it be annoying you?


Moyles won't be reading this mate, so you can pull your tongue out of his arse. and wind your neck in while you're at it.

My point being that it "annoys" me (not literally, but I wanted it to fit into this particular thread) that he isn't doing anything in the public eye. I enjoy his radio and tv work and wish he was back on the air. His finances were a small point as to why he might have to return to the air sooner rather than later.

I don't care who it's about and who reads it - people's personal financial situations are private.

I would have thought the burden of proof is with you as you made the accusation.

The way some of you go on about it I hope Chris never goes back to radio just to spite you.
