A Journal entry from Roymondo
Posted Feb 25, 2009
1) Divs vs. tables. I know the former are better but I'm used to the latter dammit!
2) God. There isn't one. The only reason people believe in a god is because other people believe in a god. That isn't a valid reason. Until you find a valid reason please STFU.
3) The Prodigy's new album is a stonker.
4) I need a haircut. Actually, I need most of them cut.
5) Anybody else going to Glasto?
6) No AV, no pictures, limited formatting in posts, no private messaging: h2g2 is a 20th century site a decade(ish) in to the 21stcentury.
7) Omelettes are better than pancakes.
8) I feel sorry for people that can't play guitar. Playing guitar is great.
9) My keyboard is sticky. It's irking me.
10) The Labour Party appear to be campaigning for the Conservative Party. A combination of this and the editorial stance of the Daily Mail and The Express will only lead to votes for the BNP. Sort it out FFS.
11) The fun starts when the cuffs fall off your spacer bar.

What on Earth is the BBC playing at?
Posted Feb 4, 2009
I just read this on The Guardian's website:
"The 10 o'clock bulletin gave us a good example. A voiceover by the BBC's political editor, Nick Robinson, (about 12 mins in) told us: "Beneath the anger, ministers fear, lies straightforward xenophobia." Cut to woolly-hatted worker telling BBC reporter: "These Portugese and Eyeties – we can't work alongside of them." There we are: northern white bloke refusing to work with foreigners. Case closed.
Except, watch Paul Mason's report on Newsnight, featuring the same interview (about 4:30 in):
These Portugese and eyeties – we can't work alongside of them: we're segregated from them. They're coming in in full companies."
I read it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/03/race-bbc
I was disgusted. They got caught out twisting someone's words here. How often does it slip by unnoticed? Is the BBC trying to respond to the Daily Mail's campaigning against them by employing the Daily Mail's own despicable tactics?
I trust this post won't be yikesed: the quotes (and words therein) are from two BBC news reports, there's a link to the original Guardian article and the BBC is, apparently, happy to twist its interviews in this manner.

Ghosts.

There aren't any. When you're dead you're dead.
There is much we don't understand about the world but that doesn't mean that weird stuff should be ascribed to the existence of supernatural entities. That stuff is mythology, not a reasonable explanation for the unexplained.
We die, the electro-chemical marvel that is the human mind stops, that's it.
Done.
Finished.
Over and out.
Dig what you've got coz' you ain't getting any more when it's gone.
Righty, time for a coffee.

Dagnabbit, I miss you guys and gals too much to stay away.
Reasons for flouncing:
The AViators should be hosted on BBC servers and the under 16 cull is pathetic.
Reason for returning:
The Marmite thread.
