It was indeed created by Darren from BTV idents. He emailed asking me to sign up and to become a mod. I have since decided against it. At least he cancelled his 'UKTV Live' project to stream all the UK channels which he emailed me about earlier in the week .

Is it me or are the summer holidays worse this year?

It's not worse than we've had before. There's only one newbie filling the mocks forum up with his brain drible. [so far]. And nobody's professed their undying, everlasting love for The Brilliant Konnie Huq yet either.

Seems like 'acebroadcasting' has reappeared as 'Ace Broadcasting' - a great name that totally hides the fact you re-registered.

There appears to be a Daybreak mock overload again.

It is also the key principle of all Daybreak mocks to use the horrific Harabara font and upset my corneas...

Further to this, can we have then mock rating system sorted on the other place, to detect bad mocks and auto score with say a negative star rating such as -5 Kays out of 5.

Rather amusing, Brekkie telling me not to be rude and not to be pedantic. Gutless wanker.

All these channels that have to broadcast part time for one reason or another.
What is the point of having the likes of SKY Sports on there, when, I believe, you have to subscribe to a pay service.

It's called FREEVIEW for a reason.

If you want SKY Sports etc, stick your hand in your pocket & have SKY or Virgin!

Hardly a point of pedantry, is it, when the main thrust of the rant was the incongruity of pay-channels on a "free" platform. The argument is flawed, so completely pointless.

You're not an idiot, that wasn't pedantry, so that leaves rude. And yes it was.

Quite right too. Its a spectacular clanger, worthy of a slapdown.

But this has set me thinking - Westy isn't some n00b who's here for the holidays. If he were, how come I know more about someone called Molly than I should? (or want to)

Maybe there needs to be a new format for the way in which the assembled knowledge of years of contribution could be delivered.

TVmocker is going to be this summer's "fondly remembered member".

What is it about the Daybreak thread that seems to attract all the worst possible posters.

There is currently a long discussion taking place about Natasha Kaplinsky being the new host of Daybreak. This was started by a new member with 10 posts saying that they heard it from 'a senior source'

Nobody has yet taken a step back and questioned it!

I think that's because all the people who would normally raise those sort of questions have already abandoned the thread.
