A Tribute to TLW Forum Legends - RIP

[Melchett]

Pfft... Ignore them Si' do your worst, then post about the hilarious & unexpected consequences over on the GF.

[Captain Turdseye]

My money's on Simon. We're talking about a man that bit off the end of his own finger for a bet. Imagine what he'd bite off somebody that wished him to be infertile.

[Jhinge Machha]

to be fair, Brendan knew he was playing with fire on here. I can't remember what his professed opinions on here were re all the S*n stuff, and I certainly can't be arsed doing any research, but he has not done this site any favours.

 

Any stick he gets now is fully justified.

 

in the gf, someone posted a screenshot of his twitter timeline and he had retweeted tweets from the S*n

[WhiskeyJar]

Wow, never saw that one coming...

[kalasoma]

Was SL's strategy (as an employee of that organisation) to subscribe to this forum and get people to follow him on twitter to promote that scum rag? It's all a bit grubby isn't it?

[setreal]

I remember having a brief exchange with SL about the separation of editorial-issues and marketing in print publications some time ago. If I remember correctly he basically denied that there are ever any dodgy deals going on and maintained that these things are generally being kept separate. These new revelations, if true, put a bit of an ironic spin on this, given the questionable way the Murdoch owned "news" outlets are handling these things.

Its all becoming all kinda Slimey is it not?

 

On that note:

 

SL trying to get TLW member to get on board with his views and opinions.

That's because he works for it. The little devil.

[Fowlers God]

Ha ha I always thought SL was a 40 year old bloke who still lived with his mum, I mean watta twat!!

[TheHowieLama]

Si will slay him with misspelled irony.

[Tommy Lawrence]

Sorry,cock up

[Furmedge]

Sorry' date='cock up[/quote']

 

Never heard of him. Unless you mean Chicken Licken.

[Horus]

Si will slay him with misspelled ironing.

 

Fixed.

[TheHowieLama]

Fixed.

 

It is gonna be suite.

[Coro]

Wait, WAIT, what?

 

This cunt works for that rag?

[Whelan]

I knew I shouldn't have ignored this thread!

 

That is some weird shit - I always thought he was alright as a poster, he could be really insulting for no apparent reason and went from hi to cunt within two posts, but I was never that arsed as he was a username and a set of digits, as I am. He was always carefull not to give anything personal away (as I am, but I'm just anti social) - he worked for that scum so that suddenly becomes clearer!

 

It is also a bit disconcerting that someone with that role - had access to what we were doing as fans, if you think back to Hicks and Gillett in particular.

[Joe Le Taxi]

He works for NI, just like Barrett and Bascombe did.

 

Just sayin'

Since when has Barrett had anything to do with that rag?

[RobbieOR]

Barrett works for the Times, not NI.

[Code]

Thast was something Section made up.

 

He works for.

 

News International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Red Soul]

If this is true,why wasn't it spotted earlier?.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Brendan works for News International. So does Barrett.

 

However one thing I cannot defend Brendan for was him RT'ing the S*N and following a list of S*n journalists.

 

For all we know he could have had little to no involvement in the S*n, so it's silly to accuse him without all the facts.

 

I put this in the original thread about him where it was unveiled (around page 3 I think) that he is employed by NI.

[Joe Le Taxi]

And who owns that newspaper? News International. Read the link to my post that I put above Rob as I explained it better there.

Head Strategist to News International means he would have had dealings with every part of News International including the sun.

 

Barrett works for one part of it so he doesnt.

 

Its not the news international thats the problem.

[Torvald Utne]

I was just gonna post the same about Bascombe, he seems to be a bit of a hero on here to some though.
