I also like the accompanying 'cool baby at a festival' photo

Re: above

Stop asking mothers when we'll have more kids. It's OK to have an only child

Stop telling me to make sure the freezers shut. I ALWAYS DO!!!

I hope you have entered the competition - http://surface.theguardian.com/vote/

Their fancy java or whatever the hell they coded the page in tragically doesn't work on my machine. So I'll be rooting for you to win, you bloody renegade you.

Nigel Farage hints at 'common front' with communists from Greece to block EU laws.

Rowena again.

The whole run chase had taken just over 45 overs. Somerset, on a charge, now move into second place in the County Championship, behind Middlesex, although both those teams have played a match more than their rivals. This is turning out to be a really open competition.

Why lie like this?

 

[Favelado]

So. Front page is pretty awful right now.

"Our new fascination with posh. We can't get enough of the upper classes."
"We were fascinated by the denizens of Benefits Street, but now the cameras have turned on the upper classes"

I'm constantly amazed at the over zealous modding in the comments section.

It's not that odd. A) the business model, such as it is, is for the Guardian to be "curators" of comment, rather than merely a platform, b) they have the wetware resource to be zealous, but perhaps not enough to be thoughtful as well, c) after being sued by someone who was maligned on CIF and taking the whole site down as a result, they are even twitchier than other media owners about potential legal threats.

They delete things that do not breach any of their guidelines and for no particularly discernible reason.

tbh I've got no sympathy with people who comment on CIF

Sorry, I meant Guardian Talk or whatever Not The Talk was. It wasn't CIF.

New Guardian beta, really hard to follow, imo

 

[butchersapron]

Just getting basic stuff right:

Oakeshott also claimed his own party - and others - have been involved in offering cash for peerages.

Just getting basic stuff right:

Like a less scrupulous Crack Converters.

“Now, you're sure this was definitely your own duchy to sell? You look the honest type, so I won't ask for any paperwork...”

 

[butchersapron]

I know you've got to write on the hoof but:

The question for him now is: if he really felt this strongly, what did he do to stop Oakeshott, why did he continue to be his friend and why didn't he tell anyone?

How to be an England fan
Will we? Won't we? OK, we're an outside bet for the World Cup 2014 – but in the meantime here's how James Corden, Ed Balls, Katy B and others are planning to make the most of the ride

 

[DotCommunist]

can't they just stick to the fucking murrays mound and pimms stuff

 

[J Ed]

I hate James Corden so much, Murdoch shill unfunny full of himself cunt

 

[teqniq]

Tbh i don't give a flying fuck about the World Cup, no matter which publication is tripping over itself to breathlessly tell us the latest news. I am more interested in the protests that have been happening in Brazil as a consequence of this wankfest.

 

[Belushi]

They've approved of association football since Pavarotti and Italia '90.

 

[DotCommunist]

and if you need a senior labour politician to tell you how to be a football fan then I think you are already on a hiding to nothing

did that co-incide with seating? And artisan half time pies?

 

[Belushi]

It was the start of the gentrification of the game.

 

[treelover]

just read that Rusbridger has been editor since 1995, that's nearly 20 years, how on earth does that happen?, BBC D/G's don't last that long, nor do many CEO's.

I wonder where the idea for this article might have come from?
