Missed my train home by seconds and meant a 30 min wait for the next one. If you ever find yourself waiting for a train at Queens Park and decide to nip across the road to MacDonners for some veg pakora, I can advise that whilst it was very nice, the rectal prolapse the following day might not be quite worth it. I find that with spicy food, the better it is on the way in, the worse it is on the way out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I've managed this, considering I've been well aware of who he is for decades I'm slightly worried that by the year's end, I will have no music heroes left. Cohen's music is often regarded as depressive. I won't argue with that, much, considering one of my favourite songs is "Closing Time" from "The Future". He always had brilliant female backing singers. I liked his music, he will be missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I've just heard a guy die I think. I work on Gordon Street, heard a scream and then loads of sirens, turns out someone has jumped out a window on the 4th floor about 100 yards away. Grim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's not popular on here (I don't mind him though), but that's an extreme step for the lad to have taken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt his stuff sounded better when played at 45rpm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaffenThinMint Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Just spotted the following amusing "telt!" in the Guardian's own letter page:- https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/nov/10/the-guardian-the-daily-mail-and-prince-harry Your editorial (9 November) accepted without question the claims made in the statement by Prince Harry’s communications secretary, then used them as a vehicle to attack the tabloids, including the Mail, which, of course, is a middle-market paper with more than three times as many ABC1 readers as the Guardian. This was disingenuous to say the least: the statement was clearly addressed to the media in general, and in particular social media. No section of the British press was singled out for criticism. Indeed, as far as the Daily Mail is concerned, we have received no complaints from the palace and were not responsible for any of the alleged wrongdoings listed in your editorial. Throughout the recent debate over section 40, which threatens the Guardian’s journalism just as much as the Daily Mail’s, the Guardian’s leader columns maintained a dumb silence. Now the paper – which refused to join Ipso – has the presumption to tell Ipso how to conduct its business. Very rich when you submit to no independent regulation and, to use Sir Brian Leveson’s phrase, insist on “marking your own homework”. You appear dismayed that the tabloid press, which is allegedly already in severe decline, was not finished off by Leveson. Psychotic hatred of popular newspapers aside, what right does a newspaper that lost more than £60m last year have to lecture those that are commercially viable and succeed by having their fingers on the pulse of public opinion? May I humbly suggest that if the Guardian spent as much time examining its own deficiencies as it does obsessing about the Mail, it would be a much more readable paper. Why, it might even make a profit. Alex BannisterManaging editor, Daily Mail The priceless part is right underneath it is the following begging letter all but confirming the Mail's claims on how fked the Guardian is: Since you're here ... …we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but far fewer are paying for it. And advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too. Fund our journalism and together we can keep the world informed. Surely Private Eye will have a field day with this one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
