:D:D

I think you are all missing the point. They were not meant to be anything other than a joke with some tittilation thrown in for good measure, as well as a nod to sport. There was a good documentary a few ago about the papers including interviews with David Sullivan and a lot of Tony Livesey. The very last thing they were intended to be were “newspapers”.

I think Tony Livesey now presents a programme on Radio 5, so that says it all really………..

Thanks for trying to make it clear and I think I see what you are getting at and that perhaps in that/those fairly narrow circumstances it has some advantage.

I wonder if any of this has helped Bumble Bee…..

My feeling is that we managed very well before social networking came along but when it arrived half the world had to participate and has ended up sharing inconsequential “twittering” for a large percentage of the time. But I am ready to be convinced otherwise!!:)

That’s a big queue for the RH seat, Moggy. You ought to be more selective.;)

But seriously – email? Taking your example – what is the difference? I ask for information, not to be provocative, because no one has yet given me a good enough reason for it.

Isn’t it just as easy to keep in touch by email and SMS? And Talk, if you have it…and as PeeDee mentions, Forums and Skype.

And I’m sure none was taken – perhaps even he would have been amused by the irony. Good obit in the Telegraph today. How many Forum members have got toy Eddie Stobart trucks?;)

How interesting – thanks for that, CD.:)
