In the news

Real middle/upper class people apply bangernomics.

It's just a bit gauche to drive around in something flashy.

Old news, we've moved on now.

This week we're all experts on the American legal system.

It's a wider mistake made in business/other organisations too. Get a former journalist in, because they'll help you get coverage, or not, or something. They know how the media works! That's all that matters. Never mind the people who've spent their whole career in comms (waves).

When these ex-journos get into the job they often find it's quite different to what they expected and you have to do all this other stuff which is nothing like journalism (who knew), and they can struggle.

Just catching up on the thread, don't know how you all find the time!

Word on the street is that most of the true comms professionals have quit Downing Street over the last couple of years. Allegedly because of sheer frustration at their advice not being followed.

He can join the "betrayed by Boris" support group.

If he can get a slot, it's very oversubscribed lately 😁

I would not hire any of the lufugexperts, they're on here all fucking day by the looks of it...

Says the man with third highest post count on the forum…

I definitely wouldn't have hired me during my 'workshy designer twat on LFGSS all day' days... We were here for the lols back then, Mark, fuck knows why I'm here now... Habit? Addiction? Boredom? What's everyone else's excuse?

You watching the game?

What's everyone else's excuse?

It's a nice place to discuss and debate stuff. Lots of stuff to learn from other people. Occasional lols at older folk on the forum being all passive aggressive over people discussing opinions on current events. That and addiction.

PS Surprised I'm still on the podium, would've thought that quite a few on here would've managed to soar past my total by now...

I wasn't being that passive, was I? Apologies, will try harder in future...

And we're one up...

I'm just here because of you.

I'm here to look at watches, pretty much it.

It's all good. I'm just being a grumpy cunt today.

The forum is the only place I can actually understand what people are saying (writing) without any effort whatsoever, hence why it's a large parts of my daily routine.

Being Profoundly Deaf is a fucking struggle every day.

TBF, for those who know you, they know you weren't.

Aren't you all just hippy's aliases?

It's hippy's world, we just live in it...

What gets me about this video is how in the end they drive along the footway to the main junction and across the traffic island.

Sorry to hear that, hope he gets a good send off... Please give my love to Diane...

What's everyone else's excuse?

I'm a full time home maker and my kid lacks the comms and edginess to keep me entertained. But also addiction.

I look forward to the day I can go back to skimming my favourite threads over an office breakfast and then doing the majority of posting while taking a shit.
