London Olympics - what a waste!

Everyone might as well go on holiday for a few weeks as it seems we're going to be gridlocked, not just on the roads but on the Internet as well......

Net Gridlock/Capping?

Does this mean my dial up ISP account will suffer from contention?

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

A move I've already taken, Sirius. With Woodrow Wyatt's Journals to read over this period

Well why stop there? I'm sure Sirius can supply you with a load of well thumbed back copies of the Mail to take with you :-))))

I'm an up to date old fart...I go online..

No problem. I'm a gracious old fart, I let the young enjoy the same pleasures I did at their age, rather than inhibit them like many old fogeys are doing at the moment.

Sirius, can you loan me some back copies of the Mail, please...

Actually this is a long standing in-joke amongst my circle, where for many years they've poked fun at me for being a self-confessed Mail reader. I recently gave up reading it as I think it's gone down hill drastically in recent times. So I've transferred the honour to Sirius :-)) I'll admit their website is pretty good though.

I just haven't got time to read the Times, but the FT used to have a very good crossword though, and I occasionally bought it for that. I was always a Telegraph man up to 5 years ago, mainly again for the crossword. I'm trying the Express for a while but there is so little in it these days.

The National press is put to bed about 2am when the presses roll. By the time you get it it's hours out of date. Any major news that happens that day won't get reported until the next day. Like Sirius I go on-line 3 or 4 times a day, usually at the BBC News and BBC live 24 sites to keep up to date on world events.

I can make up my own mind about major stories and political events without having to read a papers leader column. Most people read the paper that most coincides with their own views, and that tends to reinforce them rather than offering an alternative viewpoint, so people get entrenched in their attitudes. I prefer straight reporting that isn't strongly biased one way or the other. Although the BBC is lacking in that as well these days.

Years ago, during a quiet working period, you could snuggle-down and bury yourself in the Telegraph for the afternoon....but not anymore... something's gone in relation to our newspapers.

Well indeed, I shall write to the Times signed as "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells"

Where is Henry Root when you need him?

Another ticketing issue. Just who are the tickets going to?

Lack of tickets for athlete's families
