Re: Media Talk Forum Watch News and Information Board

People let themselves worry too much about The Clique sometimes around here, whereas it all really makes a lot more sense if you just condense down enough Kojak/Solari/Studio7/KatsKaravan/Latest-Username-This-Week posts on who is kissing up to who first into something simpler to read. To save every...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

WH Smith? Que? https://twitter.com/lewmidds/status/1738219090077003975 What’s fun about this is it’s on a retail park and therefore not one you’d necessarily refer to as “WHS Preston” (which would surely be the city centre one). Seen another pop up on Twitter so it’s definitely a thing. I love an i...

Not sure I understand what you mean by serving a different purpose? It’s a website where people chat about stuff, seems pretty much the same to me…

Re: How much would the licence fee have to rise before you would cancel it?

I still think lumping it in with council tax is the way forward. Council tax discounts would neatly apply to tv licensing too, plus it becomes a progressive tax rather than what it is now. Bigger houses pay more, seems fair enough. Being part of council tax also gives it that slight distance from th...

Can we have a QI-style klaxon go off any time someone mentions W1A and Perfect Curve?

Re: Fragrances

I’m a big fan of Vetiver Pamplemousse from Zara. Not seen it for a while though so it may have disappeared but it’s got a really fresh smell without the heaviness of a lot of other fragrances. Cedar Adventurer from River Island is quite nice too although I find it doesn’t really last.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Every time I go into the BBC News thread they are taking about “the 5 missing presenters” I enjoyed the suggestion they should just accept the new terms so things are resolved. Come on ladies, know your place and stop being stubborn, you’re messing up the rota! A lot of people commenting have clear...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

To answer my own question, according to my local terrible quality Reach publication, they are: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/uk-world-news/wilko-back-site-launched-brand-8827736?int_source=nba It's really bizarre their approach with Wilko. I really don't know why but I have a feeling in the f...

Re: What's going on with all this gender stuff?

I think there needs to be a distinction between trans women who want to live their lives, and bad men who could use self ID to access female only spaces. I’m neither female, nor trans, so I have no idea how prevalent the second of those two groups is, but I don’t understand how we can stop it from h...
