The TOSblog mods are still removing my comments from The Bernard Cribbins edition. I received their e- mail this morning. It's nice to know I'm still keeping them busy.
This Is Where Your Recylcing Ends Up!

Can't understand why they do that. I'm sure very few people look at past blogs in their entirety.

ReplyDeleteJadedoldie made an off topic comment this morning and I followed it up. My comment was removed whereas hers is still there. I have to question the TOS moderating as they appear to be very inconsistent.
It's all dying a death before our very eyes. Do think 7.2 millio watched tonight.
ReplyDeleteastroplums.
ReplyDeleteI found myself drifting off tonight. Only 9 blogs by the end of the show, even on a non controversial night there would have been at least 40 blogs before the close of the programme.
Fewer new bloggers, and all the oldies seem to have disappeared.
I can't imagine that even this producer would want so little interest to be shown.

ReplyDeleteWhen does the new producer start, do you know?
I understood, about March. But that is not gospel.
ReplyDeleteI'll be fascinated to see how long the 2 presenters stay.
AC will go off to South Africa in the summer so they will need a replacement during that period. Maybe he will finish before the World Cup. CB is talking abouut moving, but someone said on the radio that is a regular ploy to get more money when a contract is up for renewal to obtain a new contract or secure more money.
ReplyDeleteEither way, I would be surprised if they stay much longer as they are begining to look sofa weary.
sorry for the gobbledegook in first paragraph.
ReplyDeleteNINE WORDS WOMEN USE
ReplyDelete(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means one-half hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in #1 'Fine'.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - which is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' -- that will bring on a 'whatever'.)
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I've got it: Another dangerous statement , meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking, 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response, refer to # 3.
* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

ReplyDeleteYes, it probably is a way of 'blackmailing' the boss, that is if he wants you stay. I think she (CB) is now in the thrall of a rather gobby young lady, whose head is so far up herself, that she may have had her head turned. Hope I'm wrong.
Danedweller, I don't understand the moderators actions any more than you do, I too am still having comments moderated from the Bernard Cribbins blog. I can only assume that someone with an even sadder life than mine is still trawling through and clicking on the complaint button. It also amazes me that I have not been blocked considering the complaints I have made to them, unless it is because I have always stated in the complaint that I will not lie down under their bullying tactics and will draw attention to them in any way I can.
ReplyDeleteJH the only unsolicited callers we ever had [no one ever finds us here], were Jehovah's Witnesses They gave me a little lecture on wealth and told me that one day people would see the light and throw their goods and money into the streets. When I told them that as a good Jewish girl I would be out there like a shot with two large bags, they turned on their heels and walked away without another word! Result!
ReplyDeletejadedoldie,
ReplyDeleteI did called calling for a savings/life assurance company around shops and offices. If you do it right then no one will ever be rude to you and will always listen to you. Do it perfectly then they will always be happy to buy from you. The commission is high. Regrettably, I frequently did not do it right and I rarely did it perfectly. So I packed it in. Cold calling teaches you much about yourself. At times it can be quite exciting. It is rather like hunting. The psychology of it is amazing. As I said, do it right and it will always work in your favour. I understood the theory but never quite got the hang of it in practice.

ReplyDeleteI don't know if you read the piece but I wasn't surprised it was removed.
I have a theory that the Moderator is the teaboy. When he isn't brewing up he trawls his way through the blogs. Due to his education he cannot get to grip with the rules and reads very slowly. They drink a lot of coffee and tea at the beeb, so he is probably bogged down still with the Bernard Cribbins blog.
When he has finished being teaboy, he will be promoted to producer of TOS. He is probably on around £60,000 at the moment, rising to around £250,000 plus when he is promoted.
Steve Allen, LBC radio, mentioned TOS again this morning. He said he doesn't usually watch it but it was traggic. He said they pull those viewing numbers because there isn't anything else on at that time of night.
ReplyDeleteDanedweller, I am now going to tune in LBC on my radio if possible, this chap sounds too good to miss, lol. Your teaboy theory is very believable, but as we are discussing the BBC, I am tempted to think they would call on a catering company to provide the tea. This would of course mean the teaboy had even more time on his hands to spend annoying people! They would obviously still employ a teaboy despite his redundancy!
ReplyDeletejadedoldie 11.03
ReplyDeleteYes, the BBC teaboy would be backup for when the catering company fails to show up. Which is probably often because we know these contracted companies receive vast amounts of money for old rope.
Did you read my last entry on yesterday's blog? Another Steve Allen quip whilst reading the morning papers.

ReplyDeleteAs we say in our house, are you cruising for a bruising?
Daedweller, I did indeed read it, I thought the comment re Amy Winehouse was brilliant, I think that's what convinced me I should start listening!
ReplyDeleteJH, re dealing with people, despite years of training and having read all the books relevant to my field of expertise [hollow laughter], it took me exactly one week of dealing with folk to realise they have, tragically, not read the handbooks and therefore fail to react in the required and suggested manner! For many years I waited for a text book case, alas, I waited in vain!
ReplyDeleteastroplums 20.56 In reply to your Nine Words
ReplyDeleteNine Words Men Use
1) Sure, I'll throw the trash out right now: If I remember to throw out the trash during the commercial break, I will do so. If I forget, then you'll have to remind me again. Shhh, Liverpool almost scored against Manchester United.
2) Is something wrong?: What did i do wrong now? And how long is it going to take for you to figure out how to blame me for whatever it is you're upset about? I don't have all night.
3) Sure, what do you want to talk about?: I will sit and listen, but I can't promise you that I'll pay attention. You have 3 minutes before the game comes back from commercial break.... annndddddd GO.
4) No, that doesn't make your butt look big: When you know 'no' is the only answer, why do you ask?
5) No, she's not prettier than you: (Same as #4) How stupid do you think i am? It's a rhetorical question, you don't have to answer it. Although, I have a feeling you'll let me know anyway.
6) I'm sorry: I don't know what I'm apologizing for, but it seems to be the only thing that'll let me watch the rest of this darn game.
7) You're right, I'm wrong: You are angry. I am hungry. You don't cook when you're angry. Soooo...
8) Thank you: While you're up cooking, can you make that pie I really like?
9) You are beautiful: Now that the game is over, and we're done eating... how about we... you know... (wink wink).

ReplyDeleteLOL
I see that betwen Christine comments at the TV awards show & Patrick Kielty's gaff the press today have renamed the show, either 'The Dumb Show' or 'The Rude Show'.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the press are just waiting to see CB fall bit further and the knives are being readied.
I have just looked on line at today's papers. The photographs in the Daily Wail of the telephone number incident made me chuckle. CB is waving her arms at Patrick Keilty as he holds her number up, AC is not even looking in their direction and seems to be oblivious to what is going on next to him. He is in a little world all of his own!

ReplyDeleteRe CB and the knives being readied.
It is the old story of the British press loving to knock someone down when they have some success in life or start believing in their own publicity. If CB was not dating FL I don't think she would be filling the columns that she is now. She is obviously enjoying her sub-lebrity status.
Jedward are just a couple of young lads, who can't sing, but are having a ball at the moment and living their dream whilst it lasts. I don't think it was nice of her to put them down before they went onto to perform what was probably their biggest gig since XFactor. My opinion of CB has gone down.
Dandweller,
ReplyDeleteyour 1415:
For TOS menber to make adverse remarks about the talent of another performer is risible.
CB is making the fatal error of believing her own PR, I only wish I was as important as she believes she is! Would the gift the giftie gie us, to see ourselves as others see us.
ReplyDeleteOne of the rags made the biting remark that she (CB)may have a pretty face but has another side to her. Suppose we all have other sides, but being in the public eye, she now gives the impression that she is becoming above herself. Maybe she is trying to copy her self-obssessed, loud friend, Amanda Holdup.
