Thompson 979@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It might be that the mention of a burned down village hall associated with a nominated perpetrator was deemed inadvisable in light of the death of an elderly coule whose [village] home was burned down in a revenge attack on the elderly lady's motorised permabulator. </p> <p>Or perhaps not. Auntie has developed a real tin ear for news and facts, lately. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=304#post-963 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:53:47 +0000 edward hack 963@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Daily Mail - misleading headline - surely some mistake Ram </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=304#post-930 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:19:55 +0000 ramblesid 930@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I was moderated by the Daily Mail this morning<br /> I stumbled upon one of their articles and all I said was that it was an early favourite for the most misleading headline of the month award.<br /> Didn't get past the registration </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=304#post-927 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:11:54 +0000 virtuallywill 927@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>yeah bloody KFC </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=304#post-923 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:42:37 +0000 edward hack 923@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well I think the KKK are a bunch of tossers </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=304#post-904 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:24:43 +0000 The All New Jeni B 904@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A nice display of moderate behaviour. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=304#post-903 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:20:03 +0000 ramblesid 903@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I've asked them to explain themselves, though doubt I'll get an answer.<br /> I feel quite proud of myself- I haven't called them a bunch of tossers, yet. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=304#post-896 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:10:01 +0000 The All New Jeni B 896@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I was moderated last year for something even more innocent.
