If anyone should complain it is those who want to buy a white doll, why are they more expensive?

Yes it was amusing on a cold winters afternoon, no objection to making up, I am now retiring for a nice gin & tonic.

So glad AOG...I always think that you should never go to bed on an argument. after all, we can always have another one tomorrow !

Bottle of London Pride for me, but not until 19:02 tonight !

[mikey4444]

Come on now AP...be more charitable ! He's not really such an old b****r really !

[Answerprancer]

I've tried to 'bury the hatchet' and be friendly with him numerous times but he seems to prefer holding a grudge.

[mikey4444]

I'm sorry about that AP. There are some on AB that are so horrible, that I no longer acknowledge their existence. But AOG isn't that bad, I'm sure.

AOG

I will be honest - I look down on Daily Mail readers (not all of them, by any means) but I honestly think a large number of Daily Mail readers are thick.

This is no different than people who consider Guardian readers as aloof and smug.

I think my issue with Mail readers is their acceptance of a website that is barely above the level of Heat magazine.

I find their inability to identify churnalism amazing.

I find their response to 'stories' in the Science tab dumb.

This is why I don't bother with the site. The only time I wander around there is when The Media Blog posts something funny about it.

However, saying that - I look down on Daily Express readers even more.

Aside from that - quite a few Independent readers are pious gits (sorry). I look down them too.

The publication that has the readership that I look up to is Empire.

SP..... "I honestly think a large number of Daily Mail readers are thick"

Oh dear...they won't like that. I can see that you like to live dangerously !

[Orderlimit]

Something strange I have noticed on AB, is the people who always criticise the Mail and its readers are usually the ones who write in the same manner as the articles they are complaining about.

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think Daily Mail readers are 'thick' they just need to be told what to believe. As The Kaiser Chiefs sang:
We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday
We like who we like
We hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

Mikey, I'm sure he's not 'that' bad either and I don't have any serious beef with him (or anyone else here). You can't write off a person's worth and personality based on a few exchanges in an internet forum. The difference however is that he appears not to think the same for me.

For Funks Sake what a load of botox.

A pricing error, an oversensitive woman over reacts, a paper that will run with any old crap...lol lol


Pricing errors happen.

oooOOOooo! ....get you with your flounce!

[Svejk]

Dear oh dear, what a smug little 'gang'.
No surprise that Zacs gets his political insight from pop singers.
Which beats Mikey who appears to get his from 'Lucky Bags'.
The ex boy from the hood who obviously doesn't know what multi-culti is.
And Komrad AnswerPrancer who,,,well we all know him.
Trust me boys, whatever you might think yourselves, you ain't the Brains Trust.

@ svjek

ya beat me to it, but I would probably have got banned with what i was going to say...arrogant, condescending, patronizing were the nub of it but with a few choice expletives thrown in for emphasis.

[Answerprancer]

"Dear oh dear, what a smug little 'gang'"/"ya beat me to it"
...looks like another one is forming!

Baz, what is it that really makes you such an angry bitter chap?
Come on, tell auntie AP all about it
