    Mrs S gets The Mail on Saturdays for the TV guide and I flip through it.
    There always seems to be an article on a group of incomers to the UK that we must dislike because they are workshy thieving toe rags. This group will change every so often, so at least its consistent.

    Generally, it seems to be designed to outrage the reader and make them angry.

    I have been physically close to two people who have been involved in "news items of the moment" and the fail was the only paper to actually get the facts right.
    An ex-colleague writes for it too and I always save his photo from going in the compost heap, doesn't seem right really.:lol:

    the writer doesn't look as if she was even born when the machine was out. I was curious, so looked her up.
    they didn't muddle it up.. they did shoddy research, by someone who is very generally their "technology advisor" e..g think covering the latest iphone = their job.. there are many more holes in that article beside that..

    sadly I can name others who big companies employ who really dunno their subject.... journo first.. "tech" 2nd..

    The level of literacy in the article suggests that 'journo' isn't even close to first on the list of requirements for the job.

    I can't believe there's no mention of the ZX81. Nice little console that. Had some good games too - Saber Wolf, Paradnoid etc.

    FTFY.

    Everywhere she goes, someone dies. You'd stop inviting her out after a while, wouldn't you? I reckon she killed people to give herself murders to write about so she could make lots of money in book sales...

    I think I'm in the "hated" category well before halfway through the questions...

    Made it to Q10, I love the p!ss-o-meter, at least I assume that's what's in there, wind (for the bubbles)and p!iss, just like the actual paper.
