Thanking Easyjet for being so cheap.

I'm amazed ANYONE with a degree of intelligence still believes Soccermom could be a lass. Men usually arent that bitchy. Well, as a rule anyway.

fuck off man, at we're just having a laugh, or at least trying to. What the fuck do you want? politics? Wanna change the subject - add something fucking insightful or interesting then instead of just whinging. whats wrong? you taking your ball and going in? If you're just having a laugh, why react like that?

Johnny Marr played on The Beat(en) Generation album. Saw that them on that tour at the City Hall.

WSJ subscribers pay on their expenses anyway. Still think the media industry has to get a return from its output. The issue is that if print media outlets cant, they will go out of business. Which means consolidation and mergers, which returns greater power to the remaining giants. Like Murdoch. I'd say the opposite is true. The ability to publish and disseminate content electronically has removed the barriers that kept the big media operations in power. Papers are printed and distributed through the same channels anyway- I can't see how there would be huge savings- the only difference would be fewer journo staff- and that's already kicking in. Their current online offerings cannibalise their print sales undoubtedly, but it's ambitious to think they can make up the difference by charging to visit their website. The overall quality is too low with many alternatives available. What would stop someone constructing the bit-torrent equivalent for news sites? And with most content being just text, it would be rapid. It may have removed barriers (in supply) but it also creates them too, since there is no revenue to be made from the supply of news. As the industry gets squeezed further, it will consolidate, thats fundamental Matt. It may be ambitious, in much the same way the music industry is attempting to make money from their own content. My view is that people use sites like Guardian online, The Times etc because they value doing so, not just becasue they are free. For media sites to continue operating, they need to stop making losses. There only seems to be one logical conclusion.

The trick is understanding what people 'will' do, not just what they do now. The trick is not allowing them to realise what they don't need. Passive aggressive shopping.

Whoop.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/footbal...me-1681747.html Interesting statistic. Since 92, if a club does not come back up from the championship within 2 years, they have a 66% chance of never returning to the prem.

I've not seen or heard most of what Platini says but there are a lot of journalists who imply similar sentiments to Stevie about UEFA attitudes and in particular about what Platini has said. Sure there were a few comments in the Guardian post-chelsea too.

How appropriate that a thread started by Gemmill on cooking should end up with a dicussion on ginger.

If you access the internet on your iPhone on the way to work, I guess the idea is you would just now have to pay, rather than carry a specific device. 50p a week would revolutionise the market. How long can the Guardian afford to make a loss of their online services? Indefinitely?

"When wanking becomes an OCD"

Am about to burst...

Mentally unstable.

Looks more like rocket than spinach from that angle.

Not sure how to respond to the rest of that post I was insinuating something but you clearly didnt get it.

Aye sorry, Jimbo was probably too busy knocking one off.

That John Cleese quote resonates with me at the moment.

Nice editing jimbo.
