Man I feel like shit.

Eight bottles of wine between four of us last night but the birds girled it early at 2am. Me and my mate slumped at 5 after watching some random redbull mountain biking competition.

He built himself a pizza oven in his back garden. Is ace. But I'm so bad today I'm not sure it was worth it :/

 

[Raven]

Feeling the same, don't really drink at all any more but was on the wine last night, only had 2 bottles but realise this morning why I gave up drinking.

 

[Scouse]

And the bird just turned Slay Radio on really loud. Blaring C64 music and a hangover

Lego giveaways in the Daily Mail end for 'foreseeable future' - BBC News

I saw this doing its rounds on Facebook thinking 'lol ofc the co-op are gonna do shit their staff says but other companies? Nah.'

Is this shit shaming one political point of view or is it shaming a media outlet that has a reputation for chatting out of its bum?

 

[Job]

Just more spin...it never goes away, you think Lego exec's are moral cornerstones or something.

Must admit I'm not the biggest fan of corporations getting involved in politics (for either side), as it rarely works out well (look at all the New Balance trainers getting burnt in the States at the moment), but that decision is up to Lego itself.

What concerns me more is this campaign to get everyone to stop advertising with the Mail - I am not a fan of it in the slightest, and the Enemies of the People headline was out of order, but at the same time it's a consequence of having an ostensibly free press - I'd much rather have the odd bit of rabid idiocy (again from both sides, as anyone who thinks The Mirror and Guardian are any better need to remove their heads from their arsed), than a single version of the truth RT style.

I think when it comes down to it - it's simply the language used.

I mean the Right traditionally is No immigration, they're all rapists, and they all steal our jobs. Which is negative language.

Whereas the Left is more, all the immigration, there's never any problems every with immigration and they're merely taking up the jobs that we don't take! Which is positive language.

However, both are unrealistic and aren't reality, but from a middle perspective, you can see which approach is more negative and would have issues associating yourself with.

Edit - Oh, and regards to 'the norm politics' I don't think it has a great deal to do with this to be honest, all you need to do is look at headlines from either media source in order to back my point up.

Bit of confirmation bias there old chap, the Left can be just as negative (all Trump voters are racist, as is anyone who wants some sort of control of those coming into the country).

I am referring to issues, such as immigration - the right is usually negative whereas the left is more positive - it's just the way it is in the society we're in.

Actually I totally disagree. First that its a free press; a paper is subject to its proprietors and in the case of the Mail, Murdoch rags and worst of all Express/Star, appalling scumbags who you probably don't want to give your money to anyway. And since circulation revenue is a bit of a dead letter for the press (there's no point in boycotting by not paying for papers, that's not where they get their money from anymore), boycotting their advertisers is the only way to show your disapproval of them where it actually hurts. And to your point, if you don't like the Mirror or Guardian, do the same to them.

Whatever you think of the Express and their utter obsession with immigration, EU politicians and clickbait headlines, there are truths to be found if you dig them out, that other papers gloss over...though I have to say even by my standards, the comments sections are full of rabid racists.

That sounds like a fun game. See if you can find the one fact hidden among all the bullshit.

If you have ever been involved in a news story you would know that they are all 90% bullshit 9% supposition and 1% truth. Been involved in two, 1 national and 1 local. Both times the stories were basically made up with only the tiniest shred of truth to be found. Terrible experience both times.

 

[Job]

So it's been a year since I got the Jury Service letter through the post...just ignored it...nothings happened yet.

 

[Raven]

Glad you ignored it.

Guys. If you decide to put candy canes in your bakery solution and need to crush the candy canes in question, do not under any circumstances put your candy canes in plastic bags and begin to bash them against the concrete floor on your balcony when it's minus degrees outside, making crushed candy cane pieces and dust from it spread out all over the concrete balcony-floor pinning it due to the cold weather and making it stick.

 

[TdC]

I...can't...even...

Happens every time, my balcony looks like a gay pride event.

That's just your assless chaps and rainbow t-shirts tho.

 

[Job]

No, they're the boyfriends.

 

[TdC]

rainbow t-shirts are so passé though. I'd dump him tbh

You don't revert to caveman mentality when something needs to be reduced to fine grain? You're so..metrosexual.

 

[Job]

I suggest gently hitting it with a wooden hammer until it gives...and try putting in something warm beforehand to soften it up.
Can't help you with the candy though.

it's called thinking things through. while my house is covered in many, many things it's not covered in bits of candy.

Its such a shame he had to spend so much time fighting the senate. I can't help but like and admire him.

In the meantime Trump has named that cunt from Breitbart as his cheif advisor.

I had kinda hoped he knew what he was spouting was bullshit... :/
