Yeah same here Longdogs, sometimes I can't be arsed to follow a link........I'm probably not too bothered where it's from, nothing you read in the media is true anyway....

Re: Things that annoy you!

Talking about newspaper reports, I usually look at the Express online.
What often annoys me is that some of their articles appear to be quite interesting, yet when I get to the bottom I find that "Comments have been disabled". These often turn out to be about illegal immigrants and BAME people, for some reason.

I now scroll straight to the bottom and if comments are not allowed, I don't even bother to read the article.

Some people even post a comment on a different article, referring to the one on which comments are banned! I don't think the Express police have noticed that happening yet.

With so much bias these days it's hard to know what to believe anymore JB... I've certainly stopped getting angry with the articles I read because in most cases that is exactly what they want....

Oh, I don't get angry with the articles themselves. It's when someone, somewhere has decided that, for some reason, readers may not post their own opinions.

Yes, lve just discovered the comments section in the papers
JBR !and l find it very entertaining !
The only problem l have is in believing that the comments are
actually posted by real people and not some editor or other?
As you say, it is difficult to distinguish the smoke from the
mirrors?

Re: Things that annoy you!

Ebay Sellers that are actually in China or Hong Kong ect. I usually always click the box for UK Sellers only, but somehow these cheats manage to kid on they are in this county.
I don't mind buying from them if I happen to be in the Worldwide section but it fair gets me annoyed to believe I'm buying from someone here only to find later they're on the other side of the world and delivery will take forever and the size will be wrong as theirs are way smaller than the UK Sizes.
