JH, love the cartoon, are you suffering greatly or can you watch the player thingy?
ReplyDeleteTOSblog is fast heading into the sunset, perhaps your slideshow is prophetic! Have to leave for a few hours, please don't let me miss anything!
ReplyDeleteSo far we have 89 visits via referrals from bbc.co.uk
ReplyDeleteJH
ReplyDeleteWill try to come up with some animations and politcally suitable cartoons/captions. Also have many photos of signs which mistakes in themselves and some are hilarious. Let me know if you have interest and I will do something over the w/e.

ReplyDeleteDo you think they are bloggers only or...?
Has a show ever had a more apt abbreviation? LOL
ReplyDeleteJH 18.04.
ReplyDeleteHi JH
Hopefully you can catch up on iPlayer. Did you get to see last evening show on iP or are you only hearing about the fall out from the show without seeing the controversial feature?
An apology - at least we know they look at our comments. I got the impression that AC was more tha a little hurt at the coments about him. CB on the other hand seemed happy about it.
ReplyDeleteastroplums
ReplyDeleteHe seemed very subjued about the subject of his beard. I think he has only agreed to remove it under pressure.
I didn't get to hear exactly what they said about the Kaye Adams feature, because 'him in doors' decided to speak to me at that exact moment the suject was raised. A rare event for him to speak in the evening so his timing could not have been worse.

ReplyDeleteGive him a slap next time!
Astroplums
ReplyDeleteHe is still reeling from it.

I would like to point out that who you think I am is not me on there... I can actually spell right and wouldn't offend gingers as I am ginger.
ReplyDeleteJust thought you may like to know that Jhon.
Danedweller, is him indoors perhaps related to mine, his timing is always ABYSMAL. You will be delighted to hear that TOS are going to wipe out last night's faux pas by giving air time to the unsuitability of Brown and his Murky Men to govern this country. Yeah, right!!!!
ReplyDeletejadedoldie,
ReplyDeleteI will try to catch up on iplayer over the weekend. Thanks for the picture.
astroplumbs,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your offer of some pictures. Yes please that would be great. How do you plan to do it? Are you thinking of sending me a web album link that I can put on the site?
About the BBC referrals: I can't tell if they are tosbloggers or BBC staff. The former is more likely, I think.
Jadedoldie,
ReplyDeleteI am going to watch both the Thursday & Friday editions to see the crime and the apology. Then I want to write a letter of complaint to all and sundry at the BBC.
It will be interesting to see whether iplayer has been edited.
JH, By the good Lord man, you have stamina,not in one sitting I hope! I have sent nine letters to various bodies, it is interesting to see that FINALLY the BBC TOS team have been forced to acknowledge the opinions of their audience. There is surely no precedent for editing iplayer and if that has been done it is a foolhardy move. I am still laughing at Bill Smith's comment on the Paul Merton blog Post 145, and further on where he refers to the abbreviation TOS, and asks if that means we can now refer to the production team et al as
ReplyDelete"Toss ers", he gives an explanation for the space in the word in that the profanity filter would not let him type tossers.
Jadedoldie. 2111
ReplyDeleteI logged off early last night so apologies for not responding to your comment of yesterday. If yours leaves the loo seat up and the back door open when he goes out, even on the coldest of days, they are related!
It will be interesting to see how they are going to readdress the balance. They will now have to give BNP some airtime! That is sure to stir emotions up on the forum.
JH
ReplyDeleteThose jpegs in your inbox were sent by me. Forgot to say so in email.
Some are funny and may be apt, on the other hand they may not appeal to your sense of humour.
JH, those ears! How expressive they are. I always feel sorry for people who say animals have no way of expressing themselves.I did notice however that she makes no attempt to slaughter the vacuum cleaner parts, we are on our fourth set of floor cleaning heads. Chip has even broken into the storage cupboard and stolen them to gain revenge for their sneaky attacks upon him.!
ReplyDeleteDanedweller, obviously our respective men are from the same bloodline, lol.
ReplyDeleteI am not expecting any form of redress from TOS, as they could not even be honest and explain that their brief statement was only a part of the BBC's response to the many complaints. They omitted the part which apportioned blame to them, see JH's link lower down the page!
Here is a link to the Sunday Telegraph article about Kay Adams' propaganda on TOS.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/david-cameron/7005956/BBC-issues-mea-culpa-after-The-One-Shows-class-attack-on-David-Cameron.html
The BBC has said that the Kay Adam's piece was "not as good as it should be." I submit that nothing on TOS is ever as good as it should be. But in the light of this Kay Adams incident TOS is in danger of becoming a rather nasty little show.
ReplyDeleteJH, it will be interesting to see how long your comments are allowed to stand on TOSBLOG, and what reason they will manufacture for removing them. The "off topic" rule can hardly be applied there!
ReplyDeleteI heard this morning on LBC that Adrian Chiles is being muted as a possible replacement for the Johnathan Ross time slot whith his own chat show.
ReplyDeleteDanedweller, I didn't realise that the Jonathon Ross show was a sports show, as that is all AC is fit for! Fortunately I don't listen to or watch the pottymouthed man so it will be of no consequence to me or many others now.
ReplyDeleteDanedweller, Your 1449,
ReplyDeleteOh, this I have got to see. He will make a mess of it.
TOS claims a nightly audience of around 4.5 million. If you have ever wondered how this calculated then you can discover the answer at the following link.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.guardian.co.uk/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-21235,00.html
I have also inserted a link to BARB at the bottom of this page.
I would be hard put to think of someone less gifted with people skills and interaction than AC, as well give the spot to Sooty and Sweep!
ReplyDeleteJonathon Ross had a foul mouth and was at times silly. On the other hand he was witty, intelligent, articulate and he always gave a powerful performance. Whereas Adrian Chiles is well he is what he is.
ReplyDeleteRob always listened to his radio show [Ross]on Saturdays, and found it very entertaining. I found his style a little coarse.
ReplyDeletejadedoldie your 1708, Yes Ross is coarse. This a pity because he does not need to rely on the coarse remark. He is quick witted and has a sharp intellect.
ReplyDeleteHow strange that TOSBLOG is once more at the mercy of a cretin who chooses to randomly [it seems] remove posts. While the views of some bloggers are most definitely not mine I do feel for them when their posts are removed seemingly without reason!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch or listen to Jonathan Ross, he is not my cup of tea. I found it amusing that AC should be even considered for such a prestigious slot on the BBC. I won't repeat what Steve Allen said on LBC when he announced it. Anyone who listens to him will have a good idea.
ReplyDeleteJade 14.56, you are right he should stick to talking about sport and keep well away from trying to be entertaining or amusing because that takes both talent and charisma. Unfortunately, he doesn't posses those genes.
AC to take over from Jonathon Ross!
ReplyDeleteHe's hardly entertaining on that Apprentice programme, interviewing the losers.
If the presenters on TOS are to change, who would you have for a pairing or would one, with a good personality, do the job?
astroplums, I think a duo would be best, as then there is always the need to be as good if not better than your co-host, thereby keeping everyone on their toes! I don't have a problem with CB as a presenter, but would think her sidekick should be a slightly older chap, to lend some sense of depth to the programme, sadly lacking at the moment. I have always liked Mat Dawson's realistic approach to life, and have enjoyed him in anything he turns his hand to. He can be a bit intense, but is VERY flexible.
ReplyDeleteDanedweller, I really wish you could have shared Steve Allen's comment with us, I will wonder all night now, bad, bad lady!
ReplyDeleteDanedweller 1429
ReplyDeleteThis mooting of AC as J.Ross's 'replacement' is probably based on this new show he has with Frank Skinner - 'The 10 Show'
Hello all!
ReplyDeleteHello Highlandfling and welcome.
ReplyDeleteGoing back to yesterday: I think that the person deleting your blogs was the one with the Facebook site. For the reason that the deletions only started to happen after you said a "no thanks" to joining his group. It could of course be others, but there is no way of telling for sure.
What do you think?
highlandfling, good to hear from you, at least here you don't have to worry about being off topic, or people being spiteful, and JH's links can take you to some great places!
ReplyDeleteHello Highland fling. Welcome to our happy little world.
ReplyDeleteI'm blocked on TOS blog, hence my ramblings here.
jaded & HF
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to note that a couple of idiotic posts attempting pidgen English from suppossed Russian, appeared recently. They were positively childlike.
jadejoldie 21.23
ReplyDeleteI can't possibly put it across in the same way Steve Allen manages on his show. His scathing tone of voice adds beautifully to his wordy insults.
Hi Highland fling.
astroplums, I did not realise you were blocked on TOSBLOG, I had, obviously, noted your absence, but assumed you had chosen to use a different screen name for your own purposes, and was reluctant to draw attntion to it. The pidgen posts [see what I did there, as the young folk need to say, lol,] were reminiscent of days not long past weren't they.
ReplyDeleteI may, at times, appear confused, but is that any reason to place little dustbins alongside every one of my comments? I understand Danedweller, sometimes words without tone and inflexion just don't have the same effect
ReplyDeleteHello, nice to see you all in this calm place .
ReplyDeleteRegarding me and posts I am giving up the will to carry on , is there a point ?something strange about blogs recently cant put finger on what exactly .as to who is disrupting posts ?who knows we will never know, so will just keep suspicions to myself .Will try a post tonight after show and see what happens , well done John in finding this wee garden of Eden !
I have just had the posts returned to me that were removed !I cant believe that a comment such as my reply to Flunk regarding him being George Clooney was removed?and my reply regarding Myleene Klass doing well why should Christine not do the same was removed?none of that makes sense , who was I offending ? guess someone does not like me ?
ReplyDeletehighlandfling, the excuse they always gave me was that I was "off topic", I had eighteen removed in one day, and that's when you realise it's being done purely for spite. I found it incredibly annoying and frustrating that some little inadequate should disrupt everyone's enjoyment. Here you don't have to worry as JH points out you won't be judged to be off topic, and we can even share a few facts about ourselves!
ReplyDeletejadedoldie,
ReplyDeleteWe are stuck with the dustbins. Still they have their uses. People say that some of my ideas originate from the dustbin of life. I am striving to become a recycled teenager.
Jade hello!when you read your posts back you really have to ask yourself ,why?it has to be spite as others are way of topic and say awful things .and nothing happens .thats what I get for praising presenters , will have to cut back . lol But will wait and see tonight what happens .
ReplyDeleteOne maybe but Four in a row they were busy !bad day at work and then bleeding One Show .lol
Highlandfling,
ReplyDeleteYour 1639: It is about whether you are challenging their opinion and making them feel silly. This upsets them. They know not how to reply to you and so lash out by deleting you. It really is a cowardly trick.
JH 'thewonshow' is asking on TOS for directions to this site. Think he may not realise that he has to go to the'new' header each day.
ReplyDeleteastroplums,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've just now advised him(?) how to find us.
Just looked again and another of my posts has gone ?!!I answered today said Its a shame that this is happening and i had thought it was one of two bloggers who might have done it ?they prompt;y reported me ?I am being shut down and seems pointless me trying to blog?it is anything and everything from me is being reported ?mm someone is gunning for me ?
ReplyDeleteJH, one of my tutors once told me that my mind process reminded him of his Aunt's rag bag!!! HF, thank heavens my working days are over, I am no longer patient enough to cope with people face to face!
ReplyDeleteHF, do not stop blogging, don't let the cretin win, sooner or later they will move on to someone else.
