for anyone who argued on the Ken Bigley thread

[captainCOD]

you really need to read "hack watch" on page 5 of this weeks Private Eye
I think it shows the ficleness and manipulation of the press

[Caligula]

Have you got a link, Cod? Or do we need to rush out and buy it?

[captainCOD]

dont think so

[captainCOD]

Classic - who was that silly woman on the radio the other day talking about how boring her baby was? Said baby could neither discuss Cathar heresy nor Prada handbags. Not sure which one silly woman wanted to discuss, but my guess is the Prada. This must be based on her

[captainCOD]

think so"! very good isnt it

[Caligula]

She didn't say that btw - my interpretation!

What does the Bigley article say, Cod?

[JoolsToo]

as a poster on said thread - I emailed Private Eye to see if this article was on line - its not - so if we want to read it - we'll have to buy it!

(unless the Captain wants to re-type the whole thing here [shock!]}

[Caligula]

Can you imagine trying to read an article re-typed by the Cod? I wouldn't do any work at all today!

[JoolsToo]

xeaclty!

[captainCOD]

ok, the article in a nutshell shows how "un new" the slagging of liver ppol is by all in the media, particularly it quoted those who jumped on the "anti boris bandwaggon" who had said as much themselves, and in a few choice bits actually quoted them!

also a funny cartoon that shows speech bubbles coming from L pool saying "poor us why are they always slagging off us" and so on!!

BUT the most pertinents bit was a qoute form the head of liver pool council where he describes the city's main failing as benig "wingeing half empty cup culture" that annoys him.

so as P Eye concludes s you can only slag off liverpool if you are a scouser
this is all me quoting by hthe way.
