    Yeah it's kind of annoying.

    I think the best workaround is just edit the post and replace with "....".

    Can't we? Send me a link to the post, via private, with a confirmation of the text, and I'll delete it. One day I might look at the permissions and see if I can offer it as an option. If it isn't already.

    The post "why can't we delete posts" is the one I wanted to delete. Posted by accident just a quote of yourself (blame my kids) and couldn't get rid of it, just edit.

    Deleted. In future edit the post and change to "Admin: Delete". I'll sort on that and delete posts periodically.

    Probably stupid and pointless as well as mundane, but I've just made a complaint to the BBC about MotD. When the players shook hands pre-match, the BBC played a soundtrack of Mull of Kintyre. This is not what happened. At that time, the PA system played the PL anthem which as usual was drowned out by booing, followed by a chorus of 'Premier League, corrupt as fuck'. I understand why they didn't play that chant (although they could have bleeped it), but not playing the boos is misleading the audience into thinking there is no discord between fans/clubs and the PL. The commentator wouldn't have needed to comment and viewers could have made up their own minds about what was going on. Alternatively, they could have focused on the issue in the studio discussion. I have no idea whether the booing is just a Forest thing or if it happens elsewhere, but if MotD has its way I don't suppose I will ever be any wiser.

    I'm a big fan of the beeb and have never contacted them before, but this reshaping of the facts really got my goat for some reason.

    Not their first rodeo. Significantly mostly occurring since the defunding and corruption under the Tories.

    I think that's a very typical split edit which is used all the time in highlights packages. You only noticed it because you were present 'live' and know what actually happened at the time.

    It might be typical, but altering the facts is still wrong.

    Yeah. And its football, so we can notice it, and say it out loud, yes?

    So a very interesting morning at the gym today. We have a lot of CEO’s and Captain’s Of Industry as clients. This is the first morning that they are turning up with armed bodyguards. Of course I came under immediate scrutiny because I wear a mask at work. The reason is simple. I am in close contact with over 100 people a week from 91 year olds to teenagers to auto immune compromised clients. I have no desire to get them sick or vice versa. So imagine my surprise when I have a large bloke follow me into my room to sweep the area. I would say that was a bit much but since he was armed I was rather magnanimous with my time pie and allowed him to look around. I even offered him a bottle of water. Being the utter professional/Bellend that he was, he turned me down. Not awkward at all. The client could have just pointed me out and told him that I wasn’t a wrong ‘un.

    Did someone tell him that I now have a gun license. Stupid Internet!

    Finely chopped chilli and garlic for lunch. Forgot I need to put my contact lenses in later.

    Could have gone in mundane medical.

    You might want to consider some carbohydrates and maybe protein in that meal

    No, just chopping. No eating.

    Oh, hang on. I don't think I said that's all I did.

    Total nugget.

    Another CEO bodyguard at the gym. Another day. At least this one didn't follow me into my room.

    Weirdo.

    Gotta love the delusions of significance these guys have. Twats. That guy wasn’t murdered because he was a CEO… he was murdered because he was an unambiguously evil CEO. Any CEO turning up with a personal goon-squad is outing himself as either evil, or a fucking idiot.

    If I had any authority over who to allow into a room, I’d gleefully bar anyone who felt they needed a bodyguard on the grounds that, clearly, their presence constituted a danger to everyone else in the vicinity. Would hat to lose Chic to a stray bullet meant for the boss of Tosspot Widgets Inc.

    Kind of. Remember that some of the people idolising Luigi won't be as principled/disciplined/targeted/smart* as him, and might just see shareholder value as sufficient motive.
