Tbh the typos are the best thing about the guardian, it's the way value judgements are routinely made in things which affect to be news reports eg he rightly said, which really fucks me off

When the hotels were working properly here pre covid the Portuguese who worked in them were always offering me beach towels , inflatables , sun tan cream etc that people had left in case I wanted them for visitors .

strictly off the record
Did I mention that my posts in their comments 'below the line' of articles are now 'pre-moderated' (ie. censored). I had no idea until the other day, as I hardly ever post anything, but I can only assume it's because I posted something critical of Starmer months ago (a comment which seems to have disappeared). Aren't liberals marvelous!

I had that a few times for calling Polly Toynbee a cunt.

This headline caught my eye. Must appeal to a lot of readers.

I’m an unsuccessful writer, how can I escape this feeling of despair?

Just clashed with someone from the Grauniad called Viv Taylor at LinkedIn and told her I won't read it until they report the Republic and the democracy. They have some pretty mediocre writers and don't bother to give voice to the very best. I told her the whole thing needs a major kick up the backside.

I remember him doing that, and at the time thinking 'Oh christ we're offering all sorts of things now'
Does Viv Taylor have editorial control of the Guardian?

No, I think she is a poor underling. She couldn't cope with me and told me not to read it if I don't want to.

It's the editor I want to give a bollocking to
Just about to fire off a tweet but bet she doesn't muster up a reply
@KathViner
Argonia, what response would you expect and is contacting random journos etc worth your time and effort?

I get the impression you haven't had many dealings with journos

I was one for a while at TV Tokyo in London and nearly wrote for the New Statesman and Index on Censorship and the Economist. In the main in this country they are about as useful as a parasol in a Wizard of Oz tornado

I am surprised then by what seem to me unrealistic expectations of the profession
'It's a term of affection'
Truly, I can't think of any compliment greater than to compare someone to my cunt, or any of the other cunts I've had the pleasure of becoming familiar with.
100% all of them have been beautiful, deep, warm, tasteful, and delicious.

Yes I read that years ago. Back when I mainly assumed that only women have cunts, and that all women have cunts. Little did I, and this author, know.
Ps. Do be careful now, Argonia you are straying dangerously close to "mansplaining" territory here, and not for the first time.

It's a new one on me, I have just downloaded it
It's not a new book though, Argonia , and was a best-seller in its day.
In other words, a lot of people have read it, and lots more have heard of it. A high proportion of each of those groups of people will be people who have, or have had, a cunt.
So the odds were high that you were informing me, a person who'd already referred to themselves as being in possession of a cunt, about a book I would already be aware of and likely have read.
Mansplaining.
Not a good habit to cultivate.
