threegee Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Express headline today: Weather girl Laura Tobin rips priceless superhero poster worth £150,000http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/645585/Weather-girl-Laura-Tobin-rips-priceless-comic-book-150-000-Good-Morning-Britain-ITV But maybe priceless is now the new Camspeak: where words such as fundamental, reform, legally-binding, treaty and change don't mean remotely the same as they did last week?
Maggie/915 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Surely the 'Daily Obscurer or the Daily Chloroform'.

Maggie/915 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Cutting edge humour threegee. Basically 'you cannot be serious'
threegee Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Posted February 20, 2016 I'm saving the best jokes for when The Guardian finally runs out of (other people's) money Maggie!. Still, I don't suppose that even then Guardianistas will see the supreme irony in that. If it goes up for sale in a £1 fire-sale, like the Indy did, I'm going to consider a purchase. There'd only be one edition under my proprietorship though, and the headline will be fairly near to a steal from Spike Milligan's tombstone.
Steve Posted February 28, 2016 Report Posted February 28, 2016 Does anyone read the guardianista any more? Apart from Corbyn I mean?
Maggie/915 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Posted February 28, 2016 Yep I read many papers. Old school I guess. Yesterday's Guardian included an article on what Robson Green believes to be his family values. His uncle has different political views to him but he still respects him and remembers many family political arguments. Maybe worth remembering on this site.
Steve Posted February 28, 2016 Report Posted February 28, 2016 Yeah, me too - well read them online anyways, got a thirst from news when I was a lad (that makes me sound well old) doing my paper rounds. I do find that the guardian is riddled with propaganda though. I once created an account on there just so I could announce my disgust at the tripe they were publishing, I gave up hope so didn't bother on there anymore though. Mind you I find much of what the 'news' the media prints needs us to do our own research to find the truth of the article, and the rest isn't true 'news' at all.
Maggie/915 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Posted February 29, 2016 Priceless piece in last Monday's Journal about seafaring terms. In Bedlington I hope we are not sailing 'three sheets to the wind' or buying into a 'pig in a poke'. Afterall there is a need to toe the line.
