Missing Milly Dowler's voicemail "hacked by News of the World"

When Luke destroyed the DeathStar there were independent contractors on it, it was still being built.

Shouldn't be working on the fucking DeathStar, should they.

thats what tim mcveigh said about cleaners working in the oklahoma building

plus The Independent, the 'i', and the Metro.

Old crap, is old.

It may be old. But it's by no means and no definitions 'crap'. Yes Minister had some brilliantly witty writing.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

Well it's so obviously a quote from Yes Minister. I didn't think it would be necessary!

I'm sure it was even around long before 'Yes Minister', I can remember it when I was at school. It gets tweaked from time to time to suit the current political climate.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

you can say that about any product though

At work, I helped build a promotional stack of Coca-Cola (Buy 2 get 2 Free offer) a while back. Obviously, it was on a par with being a member of a South American death squad, hired on the sly by an anti-union, multi-national corporation. I can't remember exactly, but after it, I might have passed thirty minutes of cramming sandwiches and a coffee on my break, by also flicking through a copy of the Sun (might have been the Star though).

BskyB shares starting to plummet! http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BSY.L

Apparently there was a 90% plus chance of the news corp deal getting approval. Now the probability is ment to be no higher than 50%!

 

[Idris2002]

hang about, a bloke at work used to bring in a copy of it every day and he was lovely

Hang on, you used to work with William of Walworth?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Odd how people jump to the defence of the readership of the Sun. It doesn't really happen when you're talking about the readership of the Daily Mail. But they both spout the same kind of hateful shite.

Where is the evidence that this is "long planned" - there's just speculation.

The company had already announced plans to introduce more seven-day integration at its four titles, the News of the World, the Sun, Times and Sunday Times

From here

I don't think it's quite the Sun itself that they're defending.

i wouldn't slag off 'the readership' of either.

i'm not jumping to the defence of anything, i'm simply saying what my experiences have been, and fwiw people also used to bring the daily express and daily mail into work as well (the guy who used to buy it was actually a bit of a leftie! )

Plenty of people laugh at the obsession some posters have with the scary mind control effects of the media - including both the Mail and the Sun.

 

[frogwoman]

And i could be wrong butch but in this case isn't the trouble with the news of the world actually being driven, partially, by its own readers (ie not necessarily people who'd of boycotted it anyway, are now refusing to buy the paper)

I honestly don't know. And it'll be hard to tell now as the figures for the final one probably can't be taken as representative.

"plummet!", as in under 2%?. Do calm down.

 

[claphamboy]

I agree, but that wasn't original Yes Minister stuff.

I'm sure it was even around long before 'Yes Minister', I can remember it when I was at school. It gets tweaked from time to time to suit the current political climate.

It was, my old man told me that in the 70s, when I was still at school.

Not that much of a football fan, then.

He's a Watford fan

I think he may also have quite liked the topless ladies, judging by the stash of Jo Guest pictures I found on my computer once.

BskyB shares starting to plummet

Give it time

4% in a couple of hours... Overpriced anyway due to the takeover plans...

Look at the YR chart.

Fair enough maybe it was a bit over the top!

However I did say starting to!

I just want it to happen so bad!

 

[London_Calling]

I wouldn't mind, but they've just gone up again!

Lets see what it looks like on Monday...

Well if you read what I've written, I've said nothing about scary mind control effects. That's all come from others reading stuff into my posts that simply isn't there.

Anybody started pressure on the advertisers of the Sun?

Anyway, Coulson has finally been arrested.

Can't see that working TBH, sadly.
