It feels like any time somebody says it they're expecting a round of applause for acknowledging that it's a public service and that it's important. It's so excruciatingly transparent but they just keep going with it.

I agree, MB.

They're all a bunch of bastards.

What's the one he did with Kylie Minogue? The song was ok in a weird, gothic sort of way, but the video was awful. Kylie actually played a dead person, if I recall it correctly.

That's Nick Cave Uncle Bulgaria...

Hahaha fuck

Agreed, Mikey. But I’m a fascist Tory looking to privatise it so my mates can make a quick billion. So I would.

They're all a bunch of bastards - again.

Moreover, the speakers referred to were closely acquainted with Weinstein & co, as well, and it would be stretching the imagination to suggest they had no knowledge of this before the story broke, since it has been widely regarded as an open secret within the industry.

Thing is, if Oprah didn't know about Weinstein's antics, having worked for decades in the industry where it was an open secret, she must be incredibly naive, so she would hardly be in a position to lecture others on the issue (let alone ever think about running for the top job). Hypothetically speaking, of course.

American soul singer Seal has claimed Oprah Winfrey knew for years about Harvey Weinstein’s abuses, and has slammed the talk show host for being ‘sanctimonious’ and a hypocrite.

Wouldn't surprise me if she became president anyway. As we've already seen, anything and everything is possible in American politics. At least her popular public image might prevent her from just going and bombing a bunch of countries willy-nilly. That would pretty much go against everything she claims to have stood for over the past few decades.

Btw, I noticed some genius smacked Weinstein in the chops at a restaurant in Arizona this week. Good job, feller! But can anybody tell me why the Hollywood slimeball is not locked up at this particular juncture?

People not getting their own way to hospital. You injured yourself playing fitba and not one of your mates could drive you in? Either they think you're a cunt time you're all fucking fannies. Don't greet that you waited 2 hours for an ambulance.

Yup.

Also am I just invennng statistics here or are like 90% of people in A&E there because they’re fucking idiots?

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that figure is correct.

No they are.

Or at least the ones sat in the waiting room.

Sorry. Sounds low.

This thread has drifted into serious and weighty matters. I'd like to do my bit for the board by dragging it back to the petty, insignificant and downright risible.

My current pet hate is BBC news reporters mispronouncing Scottish placenames. Now, some of these are understandable and I have a great deal of tolerance for the mispronunciation of Milngavie, Auchtermuchty, Stronachlachar etc... and it would in some ways be disappointing if they could pronounce them properly, but how hard is it to get Wester Ross correct?

The correct emphasis is on Ross - Wester Ross not Wester Ross
Inverness not Inverness
Cowdenbeath not Cowdenbeath

Until this stops I am going to insist on pronouncing Hemel Hempstead in the arabic/hebraic way as Chemel Chempstead

Shit hole will suffice. Emphasis is on both shit and hole.

Fair enough I suppose, but if we called every shithole town in the country shithole it would make navigating a bit tricky. It would certainly confuse my wife.

There’s a joke in there but it feels like natural Serj territory, so I’ll leave it him.

The lingo thing will always happen with everyday peeps..I got ripped by a weegie taxi-driver once for talking about miln-gav-ee rather than mull-guy, then got my own back as he went the full war-cester-shire. admittedly much scots dialect is archaic true English so he wusnae so wrang..
Newsreaders should be on the money though...Machynlleth (wal.), Kirkcudbright & Kirkcaldy are other crackers...

Aye, but my point is that you expect something Kirkcudbright to be a challenge, but what's difficult about getting the emphasis right on Inverness?

Machynlleth.....not a bloody chance

Towcester was always a good one from near me. Pronounced Toaster.
