The GREAT News thread!

Tut tut - if you are going to be pompously pedantic, Pee, you should get it right. The first 'native Americans' didn't discover America, nor were they living in America.


It wasn't 'America' then.

Good Grief...you accuse ME of being pompously pedantic, and then proceed to post the above monumentally pompous piece of pedantry.

Pot, Kettle, etc, does not even begin to describe the hypocrisy.

Yes, I was showing you where you had fallen short in the pompous pedantry stakes, so naturally I was being pedantic, & possibly pompous.

Ever heard of irony?

There's a great 26 part series on SKY starting this week which traces the history of Irony from Jane Austen to the Simpsons (Also on SKY)

[Flosshilde]

There are really only 5 actual programmes, but they are repeated 5 times (plus an extra one on how the programme is made, rehearsal footage, & inteviews with the tea-boy by Rupert Murdoch) (well, they're not really 'interviews' - the boy's mobile was hacked & recordings of his conversations cobbled together)

Oh, & when you say that it starts this week, you really mean that it also ends this week - they are on a continuous loop.

Thanks Floss
I'm sure there must be someone who uses this messageboard who could let us know about their experience of using Sky ?
