We had a story posted about a puppy being cooked in an oven yesterday in the news section - it made me feel good when I saw the replies though.

One of the reasons I was reticent about starting to post here is, people should be able to discuss what they think of what George does without worrying about whether George likes what he hears or not (I'm not here to spy, I'm sure that's obvious - I act out my Stalinist fantasies at Lenin's Tomb ;) )
So in lots of ways, if people want to get together to discuss issues raised by the site, it may be better to do it off the site.

That was definitely a point in me making this section. If it's all just simple following, rather than questionning support then we do the whole idea of Respect a dis-service.
Moderation can be a bollocks though - I've had some fair amount of crap from a few people in the last week, but the doors are always open to those who are willing to show they're genuine.

right yeah, I'm grabbing that day's full show off a torrent site (it's the only one they have) so I'll see if there's any clips more about Galloway than Jade.
edit: ok, the only bit worth grabbing from the whole file I grabbed seemed to be this:

I loved his series in the UK, but I get so sick of the fast-cut editing of US reality programmes, and the whole presentational style.
If you watch Hell's Kitchen in the US, they cut out so much, and leave in so much "coming up..." fluff and "previously..." fluff, there's very little content.
Not sure if I'm making my point very well.
They also do this annoying thing of editing things that aren't concurrent to make them look concurrent.
It's a habit that's creeping in over here. "Masterchef" used to be a calm, interesting pretentious cookery programme. It needed to be modernised.
But "Masterchef Goes Large" has that same fast-editing-time-jumping thing, where if you watch, you'll see so much is shown out of order, and so much is never shown at all, being replaced by fast-cut back and forth nonsense commentary and conversation.
D'ya know what I mean? It's also a self-feeding problem: The more that style of editing and presentation is used in the UK, the lower will people's attention spans be, so the less they will watch calmer programmes.
I love food telly. But I do hate gimmicks.
Ooh yeah,...

That's really something.... I've never used WalMarts online store since they don't sell to Canada.... but you think they'd not sell this kind of thing.

Had a long chat with the Ma-In-Law on this subject, as she is still very active in the DC Gvt circuit & knows what's what with the likes of the Clintons.
She says that as much as having a woman as pres would not be a bad thing, Hilary would be a huge mistake.
I tend to agree with her (the ma-in-law) but have my own ideas as to why Clinton should not even be in the running.
1: If Clinton runs, it will distract a majority of people in the USA (mostly women) from the 'Right' people to vote for.
2: Every vote for Hilary would be a wasted vote & would allow another cunt like Bush to win.
3: Hilary already had her time of power in the USA whilst she had her hand up bill's ass (yes Bill was her meat puppet).
