ReplyDelete"...put some concepts into research"? What in the holy name of twat does that mean?
ReplyDelete"concepts into research" means a McPie happy meal I expect.
ReplyDeleteIf they come up with McDollarBigMac I will convert to something.
ReplyDeleteYou mean to say you haven't tried Swanky P James? Man that stuff gets you WAAAY higher than regular P.
ReplyDeleteShoaib Akhtar doing some more "ball tampering" aye?

ReplyDeleteHere's a headline-of-the-day for ya':
ReplyDeleteWoman sheds 45kg on energy drink diet.
"A young mum has told how she lost 45kg in eight months by drinking nothing but 10 to 14 cans of Red Bull a day."
Oh, good. Slight problem, though.
"Brooke Robertson shrank from 105kg to 60kg during the drastic diet but said she ended up in hospital after a minor heart attack and has had ongoing health problems."
WTF?
Brooke Robertson is a friend of mine. She agreed to be interviewed because she was told that the HoS was researching a story on the dangers of energy drinks, and she wanted her story to be helpful.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened? they turned the whole thing into a hatchet job on her, complete with selective use of quotes. I suppose the HoS thinks their bullshit headline made it all OK. As far as those dishonest pricks at the HoS are concerned it is OK to use an interview with someone and victimise because they get a story that dogwhistles a whole of lazy prejudices and get their readers feeling all superior and tut tutting their Sunday museli.
What a bunch of bastards.
