Blatant advertising for ... well, a BBC show.

Move over Bob the Builder and Rastamouse! Mike the Knight is set to be new children's TV favourite
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar ... z1bEANcGbq

Presumably only a matter of time before this show starts exhibiting the usual left-wing bias, though.

He's friends with a dragon - a member of a totally different (and mythical) species - who's voiced by a known gay? I'm surprised the commenters haven't picked up on this blatant abuse of licence-paying children's money.

The 100 per cent natural product lists its secret ingredient as Griffonia, a source of Serotonin that controls the feeling of being full.

'Journalist' Maysa Rawi ("I eat breathe and live fashion") has barely rewritten the press release on this one.

It were a hard life - but seemples: Pictures from the past... with a touch of meerkat mayhem
Peoples say life in the olden days was never easy. But these photographs from a new book show there were — as the meerkat ads would put it — plenty of 'seemples' pleasures to be had. Here, with a little computer wizardry, our furry friends pop up in these iconic pictures from a very different age...

Thanks.

Brilliant! :lol: :lol: :lol:

And not to be outdone, the Mail has now added this "article":

Heil hockey! The moment German team performed Nazi salute as they faced English school boys in 1939. How many of these young men ended up facing each other on the battlefield?

The photo is included on the DVD A Century Of Old Hitchin In Film which will be launched next week by Hitchin Historical Society.

They obviously decided to alter the original caption, which referred to the German players "cracking off" (yes, really) a Nazi salute, but in typical Mail fashion they've not fully erased the old one yet:
Quote:
Bemused and slightly perplexed the First XI hockey team from Hitchin Boys' Grammar School look on as a visiting team of adult German players raise their arms for the Nazi salute. Their crisp uniforms contrasting with the somewhat more relaxed PE kit of the English schoolboys and with little inkling of the full horror of what the Nazi salute re The German team, clad in immaculate white shorts, crack off a Nazi salute as they face opponents from Hitchin Boys' Grammar School in March 1939. War was to break out later that year

Pathetic.

The England football team played in Germany in 1938 and they gave a Nazi salute alongside their German counterparts. There's a lot written nowadays about it but apparently at the time it didn't cause any controversy whatsoever. In fact, I read recently that prior to the Second World War that type of salute was more closely associated to the Boy Scouts of America.

I did some checking up on that Andrew Davies bloke (shitty meerkat book). He's got form for writing a lot of "nostalgia" crap - and I use the term "writing" in the loosest possible sense.

All he's done there is take one of his previous works - When I Were a School Lad - and just got someone to comp' in the meerkat pics... just in time for Xmas!

This is the type of review it gets on Amazon:

Quote:
i purchased this for my 96 year old mother and she had great fun in sharing this round her friends at the pensioners club they all agreed it was great fun to read

I can see this one being a favourite with the Mailites:

When I Were A Lad...: Snapshots from a Time That Health and Safety Forgot:
Quote:
Ah, the past. A time when children could play in the snow without a helmet, crampons and a risk assessment report. When footballs were made from rhino hide and cricket was played with one pad, if you were lucky. When I Were a Lad...looks at the glorious-yet-risky childhoods of yesteryear before the Health and Safety officers told us we couldn't do everything because it was too dangerous. It reflects on a time when children were allowed in with the animals at London Zoo; a time before the car seatbelt was invented (let alone used); a time when you were allowed to dress up endangered species in goalkeeping kit and take penalties against them. The authors have trawled through the major historic archives to find some glorious photo opportunities where the safety angle of the participants was the last thing anyone thought of. Children perch happily on lethal, limb-mangling machinery, stand all-smiles on live crocodiles, feed brown bears with their hands and get scooped from the street by passing tram conductors! These truly were the days that Health and Safety forgot, back when I were a lad...
