We might get into trouble if we re-post whole articles!
I'll miss that cafe on the few occasions I visit it to find it's not open. Maybe that's the problem, or perhaps Metrolink is taking people from the Park to the City Centre cafes?
I don't understand. How can you comment sensibly on something that you haven't read? And surely you are just nicking all of the stories people want to comment on? Or are you writing these yourself?
or even chough my head, but no, we are not the same, for one I do lower myself to read the Daily Moan Online, just to find out what the mob are ranting about today. Can't stay on too long though, I already have blood pressure problems!!!
Slightly off topic : just been on the MEN site and the Facebook change has happened. Didn't really give me much chance to say a proper goodbye to other MEN regulars, so here it is. It was fun most of the time, bewildering at others and occasionally annoying. Good luck and best wishes, Chough, with this blog site thingy, and to other regulars. Thanks for the discussions and to any I ever upset, tough titties.
Stay with us Ivor! Don't let them win! You can pop in here whenever you like.Don't forget that!
The cafe was never open.When the cafe did manage to open it's doors it was overcrowded and the food was cold (if they had any left)It would be nice to see someone else take over and improve the service.,How about it ex MENers?I feel like we can take on the world right now.
I think the problem with this cafe is that it was probably very busy - too busy - on Saturdays and Sundays and not very busy at all for the rest of the week.
I'm sure volunteers could perhaps run it - but it's quite a commitment.
I've tried to send you my gmail address but it's not working so i'll have to stick it up here in public. I'll delete it later ejlyden1@gmail.com. Gmail is far too complex for my tiny mind.If somebody could explain it to me the way they'd explain it to a 6 year old I might get it. I have a free hour on a Friday afternoon.I don't suppose that would help much would it.
I'm having trouble changing from unknown to me. I've changed my name on the bloody account but it's not changed on here.Is there any way I can send you my password so that you can sort it out? I'm not sure why but I trust you.I don't know what I'm doing.In general.
It is my sad duty to tell you that Ivor Rash has passed away, after a short embarrassing (for him) and annoying (for me) illness. I'd like to say that his passing was peaceful, but he didn't half struggle against the pillow I held to his face. I'm off now, as I have various body parts to dispose of.
Mrs Rash.
P.S. Don't touch the Tesco burgers for a while, if you get my drift.
Only on Thursdays, Monday I am a senior manager, Tuesday a RT software engineer, Wednesday a child minder, Friday I am (on alternative weeks) either a swimming intructor or a garden ornanment complete with fishing rod, Saturdays I am a taxi driver, Sundays I have a day of and am a politician filling in my expense claims
There was a discussion ages ago about COBOL that turned into a pissing up the wall competition about 6 months ago. I still think the software industry gets away lightly with it, compared with the bankers who are fairly innocent in comparison.
the 'software industry' does, but not the engineers within it. The majority I have found have no idea about commercial considerations. It is generally the senior managers make the business decisions, it is the poor old project managers who have to 'do the dirty' in quite a lot of cases
No, contract staff have more business awareness. I have worked with a lot of good contractors who are 100% committed to doing a good job (even writing documentation!!!) but there are a lot of bad ones too.
whoops - still learning

Hello Robin
DeleteYou do know you are breaking copyright law, don't you?
Good luck in court
It depends on how we embed the text, but I'd rather not quote the stories as nobody reads them before commenting anyway.
DeleteI don't understand. How can you comment sensibly on something that you haven't read? And surely you are just nicking all of the stories people want to comment on? Or are you writing these yourself?
DeleteMost of the stories here are just links, so no copyright problems there I think.
DeleteThis story is a copy and paste job, which we won't do again.
The story about the Chip Pan Fire is made up, but based on many true stories.
But looking back on the good ole' days at the MEN, how many people actually read the article before commenting on it? I'd say 10% at most.
If someone can tell me how to get rid of the article now I have published it, I will happily do so, don't want to be breaking laws
DeleteRobin Chough and Scratching my Head have remarkably similar styles. So is he having a conversation with himself?
DeleteIf I was going to do that, I'd invent a character who was a little different in style. Perhaps a skeptical character who kept asking questions?
DeleteGood point. I'll stop being such an irritating little pratt.
DeleteI'm definitely not chough, he can spell...I cannot
DeleteThanks for tidying up my mess, again sorry
Oi, I am the real anonymous and I still say they are one and the same. Perhaps he could call himself Scratching My Chough.
Deleteor even chough my head, but no, we are not the same, for one I do lower myself to read the Daily Moan Online, just to find out what the mob are ranting about today. Can't stay on too long though, I already have blood pressure problems!!!
DeleteHey, I call the Daily Mail the Daily Moan too... Perhaps it's like Fight Club and I don't realise I have multiple personalities.
DeleteI see the blog got mentioned on the northerner(Guardian)
DeleteThat might have been me...
DeleteTease

'Off Topic' isn't a phrase that exists at Choughworld!
DeleteFeel free to pop back and comment. It's not over until you give up!

I've set you up as an author, so you can create new articles. It will probably get sent to your gmail address though!

You have my sympathy. I'm sure I speak for all of us, when I say I would have liked to have been there to help you at the end.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear this.My thoughts and love go out to his family,friends and his murderous bitch of a wife. X
DeleteBeing a priest, as I am, I forgive you child
