The Kenneth Cope story on the website is quite interesting.
It sounds like he has leitimate cause for complaint, but his treatment is an example of the (clumslily termed) ‘zero tolerance’ these papers claim to support. By definition, with zero tolerance you cannot consider the individual circumstances, no matter how justified a person’s disrespectful behaviour might be.
Funnily enough, my dad (hanging round the fringes of the acting profession in late 60s London) claimed to know him – or of him at least. Not a very pleasant chap, apparently.
Does that 70 degrees refer to the average Express reader’s IQ? There is simply no way that headline could be considered interesting in any way unless you are too thick to understand that F and C are different units of measurement.
It’s nearly November, I’m waiting to see how quickly they’ll have a ‘cold snap’ story on their hands and have to revert back to Celcius to sustain the melodramatics.
DBC: You’re forgetting that those ‘Indians’ used to belong to Britain… and probably would again, if the Express had their way, just so we could make it illegal for them to leave their own shores… or accept jobs their from UK companies… or request military or state aid from the UK…. or, OK this is getting boring now
The “shocking kiss” in question was Charlize Theron kissing a woman, yes a real life woman, for a charity auction. This warrants a front page headline apparently.
Also, OK so the forecasts will have now changed, but I’m struggling to find anywhere in Britain forecast to hit 20°C in the next few days- London might get up to about 19°C, but with the wind and drizzle the words “Indian Summer” are a pretty long way from what they’ll get.
Anyway, if we want to use a “British” unit, may I suggest the Kelvin? Based on the degree Celsius, yes, but named after Lord of this realm with the bonus of being much more scientifically usefully.
May panic people a little though when highs of 293K are first forecast.
it’s a GERMAN unit. Not an English one. GERMAN. the clue’s in the name.
Foreign weather systems huh!

Kenneth Cope eh?

Still using degrees F. Nevermind… at least it’s British.
But they are the using the word “Indian” , that’s not British, it’s referring to some foreign dark-skinned person. How dare they!
70 Fahrenheit = 21 Celsius

I’m guessing to survive cancer you must drink two cups of coffee and eat a raw carrot.
You cannot believe anything printed in the Express regarding health matters, as this “clarification” shows:-
“On October 13 we published an article supplied by Men’s Health headed “9 simple steps to lower your blood pressure”.
The article referred to advice given by Professors Cappuccio and Ferro.
We are happy to make clear that neither professor contributed to the article and did not give the quotes attributed to them.
They state that the advice given does not reflect current national guidelines and dissociate themselves from it.”

Is it a re-release of the Manics single?
News about a future summer at the end of October? Very odd.
Daniel Farenheit was actually Polish, although this might be seen by the tabloids as worse…
The Express cannot even sell a watch that’s accurate, never mind the news:-
