I liked the Daily Mail response, a full page spread of the page in question. It does beggar belief. :shock:

why is rob 46 saying goodbye? what i missed now?
from my various contacts in the JC underworld, I gather Robs just a bit tired of the sarcasm some members throw his way when he chats openly in the room.
I may be wrong though
Jeez, more taxpayers money being thrown away.

Over the years I’ve often wondered about this public grief thing in which people indulge themselves.
I, like many others, find it really difficult if not impossible to get myself all worked up into a lather of wailing, howling and grieving over the death of someone I didn’t actually “know”.
I understand that some people really do cry, weep & wail for hours and light candles at their little shrines to the departed and display all the emotions associated with grieving for a lost loved one. But I also suspect that many don’t really do this stuff – they just say they do, because it is somehow expected of them to appear to publicly grieve – especially over a famous person that has died. The mass public hysteria over Princess Diana is a good example of this.
Maybe they are even driven by “peer pressure” to go along with all this ‘ersatz’ grieving. Just imagine the howls of outrage that would be directed at someone who dared to post on a social networking community of some sort or other, that they didn’t really give a stuff that a famous ‘icon’ had died.
Jeez, the’y probably have to change their user name or something equally drastic.
Howl away, I don’t really give a stuff, not like he was family.
You know, if government spending had just been at the rate of inflation, we could have abolished income tax altogether from the savings we’d make from the cost of todays government.
Incidentally, the amount paid out in benefits now exceeds that taken in income tax for the first time ever.
Something wrong there I think.
As far as I’m concerned, all I earn is mine and I pay my way, nobody else should get a bean. Now, explain to me why I’m wrong and why I should hand my bank details over to the state?
There’s also the Cleethorpes connection.
Rod Temperton (from Cleethorpes), because it was he, Jones and Jackson that came up with ‘Off the wall’, which he also wrote the two biggest hits for, the title track and ‘Rock with you’. They brought him back for ‘Thriller’ for which he wrote ‘The lady in my life’ and ‘Baby be mine’. Then he wrote ‘Thriller’.
And that’s it really. He wrote the title track for the biggest selling album of all time, although not a number one it was the song (and video of course) that launched Michael Jackson into megastardom. And he never gets mentioned for it. He even picked Vincent Price for the speaking part, which he wrote in a cab on the way to the studio.
Why didn’t you just go to the local post office? Takes about 5 mins to get Euros there. Alternatively, use your bank card abroad like I did to get cash out of their machines.

Poor old Nick’s been pelted with Eggs at his Press Conference.
BNP leader Nick Griffin was forced to speed away from his own press conference after protesters pelted him with eggs.
Shouting “off our streets Nazi scum”, the demonstrators chased him down the street to his car as he prepared to face reporters outside the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Griffin, who on Monday was elected an MEP for the North West of England, fled with his bodyguards in tow and quickly sped off.
He later branded the incident “disgusting” and said: “It’s a very, very sad day for British democracy.
“People should be entitled to hear what we have to say and to hear journalists question us robustly.”
He described protesters as an “organised mob that’s backed by all three main parties to stop us getting our message across to the public” and added: “It does not represent ordinary people.”
Protest organiser Weyman Bennett, national secretary of Unite Against Fascism, said: “The majority of people did not vote for the BNP, they did not vote at all.
“The BNP was able to dupe them into saying that they had an answer to people’s problems.
“They presented themselves as a mainstream party. The reality was because the turnout was so low, they actually got elected.”

You have to laugh at the so called defenders of democracy moaning on because people voted the wrong way or didn’t vote at all. You do have to wonder why people didn’t vote though, sick of mainstream politicians lying through their teeth perhaps? Sick of the fact that they don’t feel part of the political process? Tired of politicians telling them that their hopes and fears make them racist/bigoted/ignorant?
Still it’s nice to see that the opponents of fascism are even worse and think the voters are stupid/lazy. No wonder people vote BNP.
