Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

The fact the merged forum says they will 'issue a statement' smacks of kids playing forums in the school holidays, more interested in the design and the logo rather than the serious management of a forum

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

The thread went better than I expected

I expected some thinly veiled outburst from someone when the result was announced, but it didn’t happen

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

With a thread having been created early doors about the PM No Confidence vote, are we taking bets on how many bans will be issued today?

It's asking for trouble in my opinion

In any case these news story threads are never too exciting unless its a massive news story, the most that happens is that ...

Re: The TSB & Lloyds Bank relaunch news and information board


Lloyds Banking Group are closing 60 branches.

Some of these (especially the BoS ones) feel a bit like they'll be the only branch in town, if not the only bank in town - though as I said in the other thread, they know what their footfall is like.


What isn’t immediately noticeable from that ...

Re: Local Newspaper Feeds

“Met Office issues snow warning for Northern Britain”

Everyone clicks on it and then realises that it doesn’t mean there is going to be 5 feet of snow in the area, it means there is a yellow warning for light snow in Inverness, 100s of miles away from the newspaper’s coverage area.

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread


Tesco are axing the meat, fish and deli counters and closing Jack's.


I get the feeling stuff like this will go round in a circle. In the early 90s you had a deli, no fish, meat, chicken, bakery etc, then they were introduced, now they are being axed

Give it 10 years and someone will come up ...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

Most predictions seem to be just highlighting some posters very niche obsessions

For example all the predictions being about CBeebies, or BBC Three, or Julian off of UTV

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I can’t believe they’ve still gone ahead with a separate forum and about 15 new threads. When it became clear it wasn’t a Big Bang relaunch, it should have been downgraded to just a few threads in the usual forums

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I think more warnings and bans have been dished out in recent months than Asa dished out in 20 years

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

I’m so desperate to tell some people to pull themselves together, demanding the relaunch is either entirely delayed, or not delayed, or they bring back the balloons as they can’t cope with Oneness for a moment longer.

Anyone who did slap down the conversation would probably get banned though, so ...

Re: TV Live Forum Watch News and Information Board

“at least it’ll be better than Oneness” and variations on that theme has become such a lazy thing to say on the forum and is far too overused
