Daily Express says the worst winter for 2 zillion years is coming to the UK on 15:00 - Oct 20 by Northernr

Interviewed a Daily Express journalist for a job at our place this summer.

Question: "how do you get your news?".

Correct Answer: Contacts, networking, meeting people, talking to people, getting to know people, getting on the phone, getting out there, getting your face known, getting your name known.

Answer given: Well I come into the office in the morning, see what people are talking about on Twitter and Reddit and just do our own version of that really.

Follow up, second chance question: That's not really going to work for us here, how would you change if you got this job?

Answer given: Long pause. I'd probably have to change who I follow on Twitter.

Don't call us we'll call you. Fcking hell.


Sorry - downarrowed. Dyslexic mouse finger guv.

Had a student that went for an Oxbridge entrance interview to study PPE. She was a monumental gobshite and was convinced this was nailed on (primarily because of her parents being bigshots). They asked her about her application:
'It says here that you enjoy reading politics. Who have you been reading recently?'
'It's mainly blogs'.
'Whose blogs?'
'I don't know who they are but they write about their political ideas'.
'Do you really consider this to be reading politics?'
'Er...'

End of application.

She came back in and actually relayed this to us all - in class - as an example of why she wasn't going to go to Oxford as they weren't up to date with modern trends.

'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'

I'm sorry but I still don't quite see how this links in to the death of Princess Di. Is Prince Philip doing something funny to the weather?

No, sorry I meant the standard of applicants, not the Cara Delevigne Family Newsletter.


I would.

Could be 22C on Thursday - 'Warmest October EVER' surely?!

I think that method could be applied to nearly all mainstream media these days.

Surprised they didn't add "rehashing press releases sent by PR agencies".

Investigative journalism is dead, nearly. If your work doesn't fit the agenda of your multi-billionaire owners and their interested parties in government or otherwise, forget about it.

I quite enjoy Liam "The Truth" Dutton's correctives to weather-related news stories

Would the football league increase our FFP fine if it snows?

Never knowingly right.
Poll: How long before new signings become quivering wrecks of the players they were?
