Talk pages

Hi, Miamomimi. I noticed your discussion with Simon Harley on his talk page about the comment he had removed from Talk:Peter Hitchens. I must second his statement; talk pages are only for discussions aimed at improving the article. Anything else doesn't belong, especially comments about the quality of the subject's website. Please read WP:FORUM for more on this matter. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 18:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

No need, Parsecboy, I thought a MSM website was part of the subjects work but I am happy to stand corrected and thanks for stopping by. Mimi ^(yack) 19:03, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi

brought from my talk.

Hi there. I browsed through your user page and had to stop and say how much I liked your picture. And the caption. Suffer little children isn't it? Intriguing. And beautiful. Regards, Mimi ^(yack) 16:52, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi there Mimi, thanks for looking. Your post has really touched me.

Suffer The Little Children

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:14 Off2riorob (talk) 18:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks so much for copying your reply, Off2riorob. Regards, Mimi ^(yack) 22:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

reply about boothby.

I enjoyed having a look at that intrigue surrounding boothby and the krays, thanks mimi. I would say they are all in it together, the press and politicians, anyway... the general level of political reporting and general discussion of it amongst the public is on a kindergarden level. perhaps we shouls start doing what the tv are very big on now, lets see when mr harrison from exeter thinks about it...I think it's a scandel..bla bla...of course mr harrison is a welder and has no idea about the complexeties of political decision, but there he is on the bbc passing comment to 4 million people as if his uneducated, unimformed, bigoted opinion is of any value at all.Off2riorob (talk) 14:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Here is a good link [[1]]

Thanks for reminding me how amusing Yes Minister was..without being too politically partisan. Whereas spitting image was just taking a laugh and demeaning. Off2riorob (talk) 14:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Off2riorob, I'm glad you found my comment of some interest. Thank you for replying here; I'm glad because Clockback is highly unlikely to pop by and when commenting on journos in general I would not like to offend. If I said that he stands out amongst the drink sodden professional gossips in that privileged enclave of nepotism that was Fleet Street, scribbling on the back of adverts that wouldn't be saying much would it? If I said that 'GP' stands for 'Generally Poor' in that rash of health professionals expert at nothing and mediocre at most, that wouldn't say much. If I said that all lawyers made their living out of the misery of others with as much genuine effort as a leaf in the wind... well, that's probably true. And if I said that all politicians are professional liars padding their soft lives with the bread out of the mouths of the poor, I think few would disagree. But there are politicians who have made the world a better place. There are good doctors. And I think the press is the last defence of the public, short of violence, against tyranny and journalists have lost their lives trying to expose corruption, tyranny and truth. I agree that the media's choice of interviewee is often puzzling; do you have to be a redneck to see a UFO? And that whilst generalisations are often disproved by individuals it does tend to seem as if women know more about face creams than politics and you're generally on surer ground by interviewing a welder - guaranteed opinion (I once saw children questioned about something they were shown and the girls were generally happier to say that they didn't know what it was whilst the boys gave a confident opinion on what was clearly their best guess. They were reluctant to be seen without an opinion). But one of the best challenges to Tony Blair I've seen came from a woman, not from a privileged background, outside a hospital. Just an ordinary person who knew enough. So whilst I completely agree that we are uninformed, I think all of us behave stupidly and need to wear a sign. What is more stupid - to be informed and do nothing or to be denied information and do the best you can with what you have?

Thanks for the interesting reply and I hope you like the links. Regards, Mimi ^(yack) 16:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Good morning mimi, I have looked at one of the links and later I will look some more, you can archive if you want, I know where the comment is, so no problemo. Going away for a few hours..see you later. Off2riorob (talk) 10:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
