Whereas intelligent people don't use insults to make their point.

that would make me dumber than a dumb thing trying hard to be dumb.

As an aside & totally off the point here.......
I was in the US at the 'home office' and they didn't believe that papers in Europe can use topless models. We had mentioned Page 3 and Page 9 (Germany/Denmark) which went totally over the yanks heads........
I have to bring over a copy next time I fly back

I think each to their own, I read the Mail when I fly BA as it's easier to read on a plane than a broadsheet...... but I have noticed that every paper has the same old story, all told with a slightly different bent so it doesn't really matter what you read if you take it all with a pinch of salt!

A few years ago whilst diving Crumb Stones at the Farnes, We saw a Seal with hits head eaten off lying in the middle of the shafts of rock on the sea bed. I say eaten as I can't say it was bitten off for sure. At the time the Skipper (whose other crew are Famous for driving over divers) said they took a trip out into deeper waters on a mid week trip when a diver reported being circled by a Killer Whale on a deco stop. The descussion went along the lines of, hmm which is worse being bitten or being bent prematurely leaving the deco.

Not sure this has anything to do this the 'story' curently in the 'press' but thought I'd add to the 'feeding frenzy'!

True the Norfolk waters are dark and murky at the moment , it's not the holiday season, so possibly a nobby is lost similar to the whales which keep appearing in odd places.
Alternatively it could be the smell of Bernard Mathews turkey twislers permeating out to sea, it's the right time of year after all.
As for the Sun, I find it very absorbent though the print comes off if your not quick.!

I think everyone's being a bit hard on the Sun, after all they're the ones who said that shark video from the summer was genuine. It was a genuine great white breaking the surface, it was just a South African great white.

And, according to a program with that lovely Steve Leonard, it's not that there aren't great whites in British waters, it's just that they haven't been verified yet.

What do you two think you are up to - trying to get back to the OP like that? You'll be reported

Depends on my mood. Probably would be the Guardian / Guardian Unlimited Online or the Independent, with the Observer on Sunday. Or BBC News online. I tend to aggregate loads of different news sources via RSS and make up my own mind.

I do laugh at the entirely socialist and 'green' view of parts of the Guardian, however, it's not as bad as it used to be. The Independent's also very good and tries hard to be objective.

Sorry Dude, btw, if I offended you (or anyone) - It wasn't a personal insult on anyone directly. I just get soooo angry about a newspaper that is so far up it's own arse and people believe it's hype - and you getting angry about my jibe and defending it is just falling under it's spell. Just step back and look at what it's telling you and get a bit of a wider perspective.

For example - Up until 1995 / 1996, The Sun was a Tory newspaper and hated Labour. All it's stories were Anti-Kinnock - anyone remember the 'Will the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights' with the picture of kinnock as a lightbulb?

Strangely in 1995/1996 they changed across to being a 'New Labour' paper, and surprise surprise New Labour win the election in 1997.

I would bet that if the Sun changed to being a Tory paper again and 'big up' the tories, then they *would* win the next election, for example.

Is it not just a litte bit scary that one newspaper has so much control over the country, and that the country doesn't even see that and defends that control?

Actually it's more scary that one man has so much control over this and other Countries, and that the leaders of those Countries are too scared to do anything about it but grovel and appease.

Safe diving,
