Just shown on Mediawatch in Queensland as an example of misleading information that can circulate on websites.......

Are you serious That's hysterical. Always miss it, CSI's on

Pollyana

Yep, deadly serious. The Bloke was watching it, I was just sitting here, ticking someone off in another bit of BE, half listening to the TV, they were going on about chain emails, then I heard the words "...misinformation spread by internet chatrooms...."
Ears pricked up, looked over at the TV and there is the BE logo - with Soapy's avatar underneath it, and they were saying something about a "British Expats website" spreading stories of earthquakes in Glasgow........

PMSL!! I take it they didn`t get the tongue in cheek total fabrication funny side of it then!!

Pollyana

Didn't sound like it. Mr Serious Presenter had this sort of bemused look on his face as if he was trying to work out whether it was true or not

asher

OMG did they not realise it was a complete spoof

the researcher who found that must be pretty daft

Hey, anything passes as news here, some long-sunk ship is top billing tonight ... that's what a DVD collection is for ... time for some Black Books ...

Pollyana

Isn't that a fantastic show. I saw a couple before I left the UK, but last time I went back my BiL had got the whole collection for Christmas.. soooo funny

As for the ship, Soapy got put into second place behind that!

Pollyana

For once I'm glad the Bloke had put cr*ppy Aus TV on, the BE logo looked really good

Can we ban him for bringing the forum into disrepute Boss?
It would save us all reading all those pish GC meet threads

Pollyana

You only had to read them, he had me trying to close them all, just before the meet, no stress then, we're just getting in the car now, lets just hope I closed the right ones
And let me tell you Sean, you may have been pished over the years but Soapy was super-pished on Saturday

Bix

Hadn't seen that thread before but it's bloody hillarious

And to think QLD got it 18 years early.

Pollyana

PMSL!!!!!!
