You *read* that magazine ? I simply pick it up off the door mat, take it
outside, and drop it straight into my recycling wheelie bin.


Yeah. Have you had Sky long enough to remember many years ago when
the Sky magazine was actually a subscription option? You could save a
pound or two every month by electing not to receive the magazine. Ah, the
good old days.

I won't reply to each and every one of the smug crass answers to my
post. I'll just send this one as a summary.

First of all, it'll probably be my last to this group. What an
unfriendly bunch you all are. I write my first post and all I get back
is a load of crap about how I should get out more (lol you *really*
don't know me... I get out far too much!) that I should stop reading
the Mail (I wouldn't wipe my arse on that sensationalists bull****
rag, I read the Independent) etc etc. Nice people you are!

I didn't want to be too maudlin' but I have a mate out there who is
holidaying in Phuket over Xmas and New Year and I haven't heard from
him, his mobile isn't working or anything. So when I saw that report,
I was pretty taken aback, but accepted of course that how could Sky
know... but when I went on to their website, I was much more annoyed
at there being no apology.

And I thought, well this is only someone I know from raves, clubbing
etc, not a close friend or relative, so how would someone who may have
lost someone really really close going to feel.

See, perhaps before you take turns in making crass remarks about the
first post of a new member to your newsgroup, you could perhaps not be
so bloody rash/rude/predictable.

Over and out. I don't think I'll post here again. Well done, enjoy
your little clique.

Post, don't post, no one gives a stuff - same as any newsgroup. And
describing an unmoderated newsgroup as a clique is about as sensible as
your first post.

I notice that you failed to address any of the non crass answers though.
Such as the fact that the Tsunami was caused by an eathquake, not the
weather, so your whole rant against Sky was misplaced anyway....

Probably? Jeez, there's determination for you!

What an
unfriendly bunch you all are.


transation= you *******s disagreed with me

him, his mobile isn't working or anything.


and the relevance to that of global warming induced tidal waves
is........**** all.


So when I saw that report,
I was pretty taken aback, but accepted of course that how could Sky
know... but when I went on to their website, I was much more annoyed
at there being no apology.


They should apologise for saying that global warming wouldnt create a
massive tidal wave that swamped New York?
hmmmmm, very strange.

In it he goes on to say that tidal waves killing thousands of people
just couldn't happen,


He doesn't say that at all. Your affectation of outrage is silly.

Since when have cold, hard facts ever stopped someone from having a
right old whinge?
