News Worthy Stories!

[Gavmacp]

I read a horrific story today around the death of a 13 month girl and subsequent investigation.
These sort of stories sickens me to the bone. I expected it to be discussed or mentioned on here but nothing!
And yet the punch and judy stuff continues.
I am genuinely confused.

I usually find if someone posts a story without a link, I can manage to find it myself in 30 seconds or so. Which is about the time it would take to submit a post demanding that somebody else do so.

///Thank you Baldric that made me laugh!///

Just highlights your limitations Gav!

[Gavmacp]

What are my limitations and why is there a need to 'attack me'?

[Baldric]

Jno, I didn't originate the post so why should I have to hunt around for a matching story, it's in News, it is usual practice to provide a link.

[Baldric]

Gav, see above^^

[jno]

if you don't like the post as is, why not just pass on to another thread that meets your expectations, rather than demanding this one be improved?

[Baldric]

///Please provide a link/// is hardly a demand is it?
I thought it was quite polite.

[anneasquith]

Geez oh. Some of us don't know how to provide a link. But we may wish to highlight a news item especially one as tragic as this. Maybe take jno advice.

[Gavmacp]

I saw this story and expected it to be discussed on this site. But occasionally a non newsworthy (thank you for correcting my grammar) can run and run for days with much abuse!

[Baldric]

I haven't corrected your grammar Gav.

[-Talbot-]

You derailed your own thread, Gav. It wasn't clear if you wanted to talk about the tragic death of the infant or the punch and Judy show.

[ToraToraTora]

well we don't often get a rollicking for missing a subject that someone else thinks we should be discussing. The idea of this site is to post on what you want to discuss, why did you not do that Gavmacp?

[Svejk]

There are loads of stories, daily, that aren't discussed on AB.
And none of them are discussed until somebody 'puts them up'.
If you really wanted to discuss this sad case, just put it up without being a wise guy. As you dislike this place and the users so much why not just go? There's nothing forcing you to stay and make your constant off-topic, sour remarks.

[Gavmacp]

How can I dislike you I don't even know you? I (and others) do not like some of the behaviour, language and tonality of the postings.

[Svejk]

We know. It's all you ever say.

[Peter Pedant]

well you have a point Gav
much discussion about whether you provided a link or
whether you did it fast enough

and not an awful lot about little poppi

news item on news at ten whcih is basically the LEP article
URL already given in case people start b awling

[Peter Pedant]

// PP, I asked Gav not you. - - - - oooooooooo!
And try to stop being silly.//

when I see silly I am driven to be sillier

[Baldric]

At least you recognise the problem.

[sandyRoe]

On the BBC TV news report about this someone said, 'Lessons have been learned'.
That's reassuring.

Now you know what a 'newsworthy story' descends to !! More infighting
