Sorry and all that. :wink:

It's exactly the kind of BBC bashing story that the Mail will be all over like a rash.

To be fair, that's hugely profligate from the BBC.

To send more staff to an event taking place a few stops up the tube than they did to one halfway around the planet four years ago, is clearly insanity....

Are you being ironic?

Makes perfect sense.. Cost of tube fare vs. cost of flights to china, visas, etc. Which would *you* send more people to?

Of course the number of people required to produce the olympics coverage (the biggest sporting event in the UK for years, to be broadcast worldwide) is unrelated to the number of athletes, and it's rather bizarre of the Guardian to suggest that one number larger than the other is any kind of indicator of anything.

Does not compute.

To be fair, the Mail might struggle with that given the runners-up:

Though they could run something about forrins coming over in legions and highjacking our talent shows.

Receptionist shocked to discover sidebar fame

Quote:

A 22-YEAR-OLD Londoner has been amazed to find more than a hundred stories about her weight, dress sense and love life on the Daily Mail website.

Carolyn Ryan, a receptionist at a banking firm, happened across a story about her weight on the right sidebar between stories about a Strictly dancer and a US reality TV star.

Further investigation revealed Mail Online had been running stories about her since last June, accompanied by paparazzi images she was unaware were being taken.

She said: “This one’s me leaving the gym, with a caption about all the maintenance my famous curves need. Here’s one at my friend Susan’s wedding sarcastically telling me not to upstage the bride.

“There are stories about me taking the dog for a walk – with a 12-photo sequence of me picking up his shit and the headline ‘It’s a dog’s life for Carolyn!’ – even a story about me going to a cashpoint outside Sainsbury’s then using the money to buy a bag of oranges.

“If I’m not daring to bare in a little black dress then I’m committing a fashion faux-pas by covering up my classic pins in a less-than-flattering pair of jeggings. Why me?”

Mail Online editor Nathan Muir said: “No, she’s definitely famous. She’s been in one of them reality shows. Not Essex, that other one about the WAGs. Or isn’t she Courtney Stodden’s dog’s anus bleacher?

“Well, she’s famous now anyway.”

According to sources, Carolyn spent last night drowning her sorrows with pals in London’s exclusive Whisky Mist nightclub while struggling to maintain her modesty in a wickedly low-cut chiffon dress.

You may have seen the news that a man dies saving a child from drowning at West Wittering last Sunday.
Seems he was a local man for me, and a Bulgarian immigrant - Plamen Petkova.

Will this make the Mail? And if it does, what will their angle be? And will comments be allowed?
