Came home this weekend and mum and dad have stopped getting it delivered for the first time in my 45 years. A sign of the times.

My Gran also had it delivered for decades. It was part of the furniture.

Anyway, all education is worthwhile and valuable, wherever and whatever it is.

Can we move on from the Students' Union jokes now, please....

Three dots in elipses. Idiot.

Ellipses? Double L surely. :)

He should be forgiven for that spelling faux pas. He had a horrendous ordeal yesterday.

Well done, BSB. Idiot twice!

As a gentleman, I offer no mitigation, even though yesterday's draining ordeal has, indeed, deprived me of clarity.

Other men than you have been utterly defeated by the experience.

I'm sure.

Back to the MEN that our predecessors revered, The internet has broken down the walls of respect and deference. Quite right too.
 
I last bought the MEN about 15 years ago when every Friday sellers in city centre gave away a free Kit Kat or other chocolate bar with each 10p copy. 10p for a Kit Kat was cheap even back then.

I stopped at every seller I cycled past and bought about ten, then dumped all the papers in a bin.
 
Hate this shitty,'newspaper' - Don't think I've ever read an article about city or indeed any news in manc that hasn't either pissed me off or depressed the life out of me haha. Such inspiring journos eh
 
It's free at certain places in the City Centre.

We generally get as much coverage as them.

Paranoia is small time. Get over yourselves.

A sweeping generalisation that mate. My views are nothing to do with a perceived rag bias.

They're based on the fact that it's a daily paper, masquerading as an evening paper, peddling yesterday's news and has, In the main, poor journalistic and editorial standards.
 
I've not looked at it since that work experience kid did that story. Is he still employed by them?

Red circles ? if you mean that one then yeah, i blocked the ip for the website on my network at home and work after that.
I could not care less if it is called mcfc news now, the damage was done allowing that shit in. Not just that the bumbling clammy hand wringing attempts at explaining it away haha.

Funny how we think these are slick operations at these huge media outlets. That and the mail online whistle blower remind me they are closer to what a man on the street would call an amateur. It is only the technicality they get paid that stops them being amateurs proper.
It is a fine balance i admit, you want a passionate reporter but not one who lets his personal feelings cloud his or her reporting.
I think that Stu Brennan fella does ok but he will suffer because some of his colleagues are useless. Well if people are like me he will because now i'll never see his articles and give his work clicks.
