QUOTE (user23 @ Jul 20 2013, 05:38 PM) Was he from Newbury? No, but I watched him on TV in Newbury. The Forum Content police has been stood down; haven't you heard. Of the 2 forums, this is most appropriate. Relax, watch this and smile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R5tUc1S3cc

QUOTE (user23 @ Jul 21 2013, 09:51 AM) Watching something on TV in Newbury means it happened in or is related to Newbury? Yes, but if you don't like it, feel free to not join in, so that you can leave it to people who care less, or perhaps the forum's admin?

You're saying if I don't like something I shouldn't comment on it? There would be hardly any posts on here if everyone took that approach.

Post what you like as far as I'm concerned, but perhaps you might find your solace on other forums where posters were more disciplined about where they post.

You should work for South Today with tenuous links to local news like that. :-) How very sad. Don't you ever go beyond the town boundary? There is a whole world out there; and much that affects your life in Newbury. For instance, did you realise our local bobbies are managed from Oxfordshire? Your telephone account in India? Yes, I'd love a slot on South Today, have even thought of a title 'Get Carter'!

I await the front page headline of "Comedian from Chiswick dies." in the NWN on Thursday. I also expect to see "Firm hundreds miles away lays of workers with no effect on Newbury" and "Football team another continent all of whom have never even heard of Berkshire win match". Just because something is shown on TV in Newbury doesn't mean it has any connection with the town. Poor trolling on your part. C-. Must try harder.

Just because something is shown on TV in Newbury doesn't mean it has any connection with the town. Poor trolling on your part. C-. Must try harder. What about a company Headquartered in Paddington laying off workers? A member of the Royal family presently resident in Wales having a baby? In some ways you are right and many more things should be kept local - collective bargaining for public service jobs for instance. Then I really would try to get elected; be very careful what you ask for...

QUOTE (Andy1 @ Jul 21 2013, 12:59 PM) I haven't been or posted on here in a few weeks because of the constant sarcastic responses to posts, whether it be about spelling, grammar, posting in the wrong place or just simply having an opinion. You should speak to Biker about that; he is a thought/ pedantic police of the grammar brigade.

Therefore he has put it in the right section. This section is for Newbury News. "Much loved comedian, who's programme was on TV across the country (including Newbury) dies" isn't really Newbury News. This probably explains why your own Newbury forum didn't do so well. I can imagine you might have had news threads like "Galactic Empire defeated by Rebel Alliance on Newbury televisions"?
