What I'll be doing on Sunday

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 1:44:06 AM

news of the world, millie, news, phone, murdoch, soham, hacking, rant, boycott

Next Sunday, bright and early, I shall be down my friendly neighbourhood newsie's and buying a Sunday paper for the first time in a fair few years. It won't be the News of the World, it'll probably be The Observer, using the logic, Observer printed at Guardian press, therefore Observer has link to Guardian, and The Guardian is the paper that seems to be breaking all the news in the 'phone hacking scandal.

But that's not why I'll be in the shop. My real reason will be to sneak a peek into the News of the World and list all their advertisers, after which I shall contact any of them that I've ever done business with, or am ever likely to do business with, and tell them that I'm boycotting their products/services.

Right now I even feel tempted to join Sky just so I can quit when Murdoch takes over...

And it seems the strikes are on.What a difference a day made.

I just cannot see the name 'News of the World', and also think of the word 'newspaper' in relationship to it.. Maybe it should be just called a paper, as at least that is what it is printed on... You will probably find it online and save yourself the walk

Doesn't a lot happen in just a few hours? Suddenly the NotW is no more after this Sunday, and that issue's going to be a charity edition, which probably means it will be the best selling issue of all time...

So its all over for them. Probably no great loss to literature or journalism

I'm not writing the dirty digger off until he goes for a long trip in his own personal ocean liner and mysteriously 'falls off' it.

Did he fall or was he pushed, or is he living in Australia with John Stonehouse and Lord Lucan

We will probably never know

In Australia? Now there's a thought.

They're all criminals you know.

Even Toadfish Rebecchi.

An English bloke goes to Australia for the first time, at Sydney Airport, the passport guy asks him if he has any criminal convictions..
He replies, "why? Is it still mandatory?"

I wonder how often that scene is repeated each day, just prior to one of the protagonists being bundled onto the next 'plane to the UK.

I guess its not that original

Deke # Friday, July 15, 2011 12:52:47 AM

Define 'original'.

I don't come up with many jokes of my own, but I came up with one about Lard, and was a bit pissed off when some guy on the TV told it, except he used cooking oil.

I bet he thought he was being original.

Most of my humour is second hand

Deke # Tuesday, July 19, 2011 10:31:10 PM

Lucky you have two hands then. It's particularly important when you're holding porn with one hand.

DHdarkesthour # Tuesday, July 19, 2011 10:33:21 PM

I prefer beer

I only have to hold that with one hand

Deke # Tuesday, July 19, 2011 10:38:32 PM

Hmm. Let me think.

Read porn: Need cold beer.
Drink beer: Don't need porn.

You're right.

I've been a fool.

Its just part of life, the steady replacement of testosterone with alcohol...
