Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

The rules don't necessarily always make any sense, though, do they?

Rule #10:
The forums/private message, blog and email system are not to be used for the purpose of research, (questions, surveys or polls).

What the heck's the majority of the site for then?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Ah, we get one of those type of threads every so often I'm afraid. It's just one of the great things about BE. Be prepared for another re-run in a few weeks. ;)

Mighty good point - never noticed that before. How bizarre!

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

I wasn't looking to illicit a response, it was a rhetorical question, in case I was falling foul of the asking a question rule ;)

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

You're fine, don't worry. Just for Gods sake don't start a poll, whatever you do...........:eek:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

But he gaff about you init?

I will pray for you.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

So some rules are there to be broken/ignored?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

No, but I'll let you off just this once, purely because I now have a mental image of you as Robert Redford following the 'what you look like' thread. :wub:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Aha! The horse whisperer.... I struck gold with that 'un. :rofl:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Was that you? Then yes, indeed you did.

In fact, several of the suggestions for forum members have stuck in my mind, RICH as Robert Redford being only one.

Anybody looks like Michael Madsen you think? Swoooooooon. :o

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

No - he really doesn't.

Are you taking the piss?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Well for all you know that could be Butch... and then you two could kiss and make up.:thumbup:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Your clemency is appreciated Ms Oompa.

I'm thankful for your wistful fantasies.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

I like Butch. Obviously, if he looks like Michael Madsen then I like him even more, but somehow I suspect he doesn't. And that he's quite a bit younger than MM.

Ah well.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Ooooh, you're even talking in that lovely polite gentleman type way that he does!

Double swoon. :wub:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Now you can't go calling yourself 'Butch' and then complaining that you are being picked on by a girl :rofl: :rofl:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Polite conversation's all well and good. Lets cut to the chase and get a room.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

I'll second that, just but out of it sometimes CO, it comes across to most on here that you forever try and stir things up, then try and justify it by stating "i'm allowed to have my own opinion". You are one of the worst for breaking the rules about dealing with issues by pm and not on the main board.

Shouldn't you lead by example???? Granted people on here will bitch about you, but your job as a mod means you should stick to all the rules. It becomes laughable how many times you seem to ignore them.

Bored with you now

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Younger perhaps, quite a bit no.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Sorry to be a bore, but WTF is Michael Masden or whatever he's called?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Seems to be some sort of actor. :confused:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Madsen

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Actor, sweetie, Actor. (OK I had to google him)

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Is he dead too, then? How jolly.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Still never heard of 'im. Ah, well. What did he die of?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Didn't he die a bloody death? It was a Tarantino movie after all. :rofl:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

What was? I thought perhaps the dear man had succumbed to something interesting, such as a surfeit of lampreys like that other celeb, whatisname, the royal one.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Haven't read the rest of this thread but felt I would post anyway.

I fess up - I buy Hello.

Admittedly I bought a subscription for $36 per year because 40% went to the school, but nonetheless I get it. It takes a while to wrestle it from my scoffing husband though, he's too busy reading it.

I will say I in no way worship celebrity culture and yes I find Hello pointless- but that is kind of the point. My day has quite a lot of point in it, job, kids at school, after school activities, School Council, reading for book club etc etc so sometimes I quite like to read something vacuous once a month in the evening when the kids have gone to bed. Better than pointless crap on the telly.

Gryphea

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

If people started threads every time there was another thread they werent interested in, the forum would be full of nothing but people complaining about each oth..... Oh. Well, anyways, as has already been suggested, if there's something on here you're not interested in, no one is forcing you to read it.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

I've never heard of the publication, bit I suppose it's all about the people in the pointless crap on tele?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Absolutely - but with a fair measure of pointless Royals and a few entrepreneurial types showing you round their vast mansions/yachts etc. Occasional politicians thrown in (but only if their wives have great dress sense). A few pointless sports stars too, especially if their wife (or anyone else) has just had their baby, or launched their own fashion range.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Sounds fascinating. I'll look out for it.

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

hmm - is that the UK version or Canadian - I wanted an international subscription to HEAT mag = but is 250 quid!!!!

yup -I like a bit of mind numbing reading some days . .

yes its sad Patrick Swayze died - nobody puts Baby in the Corner - it was the 1st film I saw in Canada when I 1st visited n 1987!

Keith Flloyd - bit of a lush - enjoyed his prog but that's all

The Izzard - hero - running for Sports relief - excellent comedian and down right nice chap - yes I have met him - few times. . .cake or death??

ps = Kanye West just interrupted Patrick Swayzes funeral to say it wasnt as good as Michael Jacskons and for all you Celeb philistines - Dont worry! :)

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

that one I like :rofl:

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

ps - I lied - HEAT - annual International subscription - 142 squid - Hubby still says no :(

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Ahem. If you're going to accuse me of breaking rules, at least make sure they exist first - there is no rule that says we have to deal with issues by PM! ;)

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

May I refer the Hon Lady to rule 14?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Why thank you kind Sir *insert curtsy motion here* for being so polite.

But that refers to discussing moderator actions - and I took no mod action in this thread (didn't need to, nobody broke any rules). There is no rule that says we have to deal with all issues via PM, only that any involving mod actions must be discussed via PM.

Now, I must go and find out which vacuous celeb has died today so I can post a thread about it..............:p

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Would the second to last "f" be Flying or Fat?

Re: Which is more 'newsworthy'?
 

Its canadian version. Its not as good and they like royals more.
