TVF needs some quality control. Like the filter you get on fish tanks to remove all the shit.

Does he think all we should hear is 50s style plummy RP?

That is one of those typical internet argument threads where nobody wins.

You know where one opinion is argued against with the most extreme opposite opinion and it just goes back and forth from one to the other as if there is no other shades of middle ground.

Bit like pretty much all politics at the moment

Lingusitcs isn't exactly a riveting topic for most people at the best of times, which doesn't help.

Simply put, there's a reason that you don't take off your nevew's westcott and hand it to your huzzif any more (other than it not being 1920 any more): language changes.

The ‘Discussions about Sharitall21’ thread may well be the best thing The Gallery has ever produced. Which isn’t hard.

When was the last time we had an intermission from a parent? I definitely remember seeing posts from a particularly foul-mouthed parent (again, probably in the Gallery) but it must have been some time ago now!

Personal highlight of the Vimeo post was, that after all the unnecessary postings surrounding his procurement of Microsoft Office, that on his desktop it looked like he had a .zip folder in with Windows 7 Home Edition in, which I'm not *quite* sure is how Microsoft distribute it...

Not on TV Forum, but on the old TV Ark forums around 15 years ago there was an occasion when someone joined and posted a load of genuinely indechipherable nonsense (like Paul Akinbola and Lee Bedwood, but I think this was before either of them surfaced), and all of us who asked what the hell they were on about ended up with abusive PMs from the kid's dad.

He probably also got Win 7 from the same dodgy salesman who sold him Office.

freddie056 claiming he knows what's happening at Sky News.

I smell shite...

Speaking of shite, British wrestling is apparently in a boom phase, according to cityprod, and Doctor Who doesn't want to compete with the behemoth that is WoS Wrestling.

With ratings that don't even trouble an old The Chase repeat, who could argue with him?

You've forgotten the bit about ratings not indicating which are the major channels.
