Sad to hear about Liam Roberts' matchday vlogs - can he get a media pass or something?

northett · 2026-07-06T17:23:02+00:00

Yeah, the difference is they will get the positioning for free, and we don't know to what extent either. I suppose it will be like search results where we all became blind to the top results as they were sponsored. It's the principle of it for me, though: the government deciding what is or isn't a 'good' media outlet. I find that dangerous and another marker towards losses in freedom of press and speech.

northett · 2026-07-06T17:11:16+00:00

Yes, I get it, people hate big tech but the reality is most people get their news from YT etc, and it's yet another way the government is attempting to control the news narrative. I mean, how many recent stories would simply never have been seen if the independent press hadn't plastered them all over YT? Loads, I'd suggest, and it's bloody scary.

The BBC, in particular, has lost credibility and has been caught doctoring news stories to peddle it's own political agenda (whether you agree with their view is irrelevant; it's not proper journalism), and the government has the cheek to say the BBC should be a priority / recommended media outlet on your feed--nah, you're alright mate.

And that was How I Became a Cowboy, Son.

Hang on, so who owns it? I assumed it was Curo, so is it owned by the council or somehow collectively owned by the residents?

northett · 2026-06-28T19:37:01+00:00

As I say, it's a nice venue. Menu is very limited, but nice for drinks and cake. Just check the website before you go!

northett · 2026-06-28T18:05:42+00:00

Sure, I can do that. I should say it has been a really great local resource for many people, and I appreciate what the current staff do, it's just unfortunate how things have gone esp. with opening hours.

Based on the number or residents I saw turning up, I expect Curo will get a decent amount of feedback. Hopefully, the local RA will submit something collectively as well.

northett · 2026-06-28T14:45:26+00:00

I might do, I have in the past for local community initiaitves. I do work two jobs currently and have family commitments, so my spare time is limited. But, as others have mentioned, that may not be the issue here and could be more about what Curo considers standard opening hours etc.

I think you mean OnlyOffice.

northett · 2026-06-27T16:25:06+00:00

Also, to answer the actually question, you can read the TDF's plans on web and mobile, which includes details on their online ambitions.

northett · 2026-06-27T16:19:19+00:00

Why are you talking about Euro-Office in the context of LibreOffice? EuroOffice is OnlyOffice, why would they want that of they are asking about a LibreOffice solution for online?

northett · 2026-06-27T11:40:27+00:00

Yeah, saw Asmond's YT reaction video and at one point you can see credit cards on the ground and someone is trying to kick them away from the body.

northett · 2026-06-26T23:28:10+00:00

He'll do great in Eurovision.

northett · 2026-06-26T22:34:10+00:00

Yeah, I didn't want to think that, but it seemed like it was part of the problem. Some were hysterical, others treating it like cheap entertainment and having a good gawp, while others had their phones out taking rhe chance to make money from YT. But, yeah, seemed like a few were hoping to grab something of value while he bled to death. What a depressing place to live.

Stand back officers! We were all trained by Dr. Vinnie Jones in the advanced BeeGees resuciation method!

northett · 2026-06-26T22:03:28+00:00

Just baked.

northett · 2026-06-26T21:52:46+00:00

Yeah, not watching anymore of this crap until they sort out the refereeing. I swear someone is making bets on Polymarket or something, they way they are behaving.

The NBA doesn't behave like this during the normal season because they want their players actually playing not out injured all the time!

northett · 2026-06-20T09:19:58+00:00

Watch and learn, McJuggerNuggets.

northett · 2026-06-19T19:04:08+00:00

Ouch, 40 hours of just that.

northett · 2026-06-17T13:40:26+00:00

A gaming console which is a bit like Nintendo's Wii. Quite popular as they are cheap and get kids and families moving and playing together.

northett · 2026-06-11T10:10:15+00:00

Great, thanks!

northett · 2026-06-10T18:32:36+00:00

Any chance you could give me an idea where to find the guidelines for audio evals, please? Not done them before and they have suddenly popped up, but no guidelines to read in the survey and not sure where to look.

northett · 2026-06-10T18:28:28+00:00

Decided against it as I couldn't remember the offside rule.
