Blaven Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Does anyone else cringe when Mr Bairn uses the 'NCC' term? Doesn't really register when any of the other Unionists use it. Maybe it's because he's a young 'un. Naw. Its just what wee lassies do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Parp Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Newpapers do do it. It's a fact. I can't remember individual examples that Private Eye point out (although the Daily Express's Diana conspiracy articles were a regular feature), because oddly I don't catalogue things like that in case I need them for future online arguments, but they do appear in the magazine on a fairly regular basis. You'd have to be able to remember a specific story from a newspaper to be able to search for it in newspaper archives. Columnists do it all the time, news stories almost never. Speaking as a Private Eye reader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Tbh, I cringe when they all use it. Deetillehdeh I think he's called used it earlier. I cringed. Though, yeah, it is super-cringey when Scrappy Doo uses it. Oh Chaka - you've used worse. Get over yourself. You and others being deliberately obtuse over a column that I (and others) have read for 30+ years. Clownism at its worst.

Mr Bairn Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 http://blog.whatscotlandthinks.org/2014/06/referendum-race-becalmed-no-change-from-tns-bmrb/ The most interesting takeaway from the new TNS poll is that undecideds are equally likely to break for no as they are for yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah, i think this just reinforces the stagnation of the voting and the massive job Yes have on their hands to even make this close. That's the key thing now. How respectable can Yes make the defeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
