South London Press - "Obscene postings on internet forum"

[lenk]

Was this actually a headline from the South London Press last week? I nearly spat chai all over the window of the newsagent where I saw this displayed.

We're not far off 'bag of tools stolen from a shed but was later returned" here.

Was it this one?

[Moos]

No, that would have been 'Continued obscene postings....'

I presume so.

I think it must have been referencing that admin thread from last week where someone had received A PM IN BLOCK CAPITALS THAT WAS VERY ANGRY ABNOUT SOMETHING

[snorky]

SOMEONE CALL TESSA JOWELL AND GET THESE INTERNET POSTING MESSAGE BOARD SCUM PUNISHED. HANGINGS TOO GODD FOR THEM.

[reetpetite]

It was prob refering to the post from Admin on May20th re ..behind the scenes incident.

Well I for one think it shows lazy reporting. I mean how could they have noticed that and not managed to report on, Three 176 Buses Arrive at the Same Time in the Camberwell Green Area or Coffee Spillage Causes Minor Fracas in Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury?s?

'Hangings too Good For Them' - Charity Shop rummaging scandal rocks ED to its foundations

Any excuse - my favourite SLP headline ever:

[HonaloochieB]

To quote Richard 'Gaunty' Littlejohn, you couldn't make it up.

I met Mr Squirrels on Crack. Apparently it was an internal joke that accidentally got found by a shift editor desperate for something interesting to run with. It was never meant for the paper.

[ratty]

I still have Squirrels on my kitchen wall cos I loved it that much. I recently "twittered" it to Dulwich Mum!

[Siduhe]

I have a better SLP headline, but sadly is not really suitable for the forum...

[SteveT]

Does ratty cavorting with squirrels constitute another obscene......................

[Kingsbury David]

Bloody Hell. I had some tools nicked from my garage along with next door but didn't consider calling the papers. But it's a sad day when they interviewed me and the council about their pulling up all the old signs in Lordship Lane (er, at their request) and didn't use it but consider it newsworthy to report what is a regular event on every forum in the world.

Does that mean if I say something rude (and presumably get banned as a result) I'll stand more chance of getting in the SLP? What a country...

David, I don't think anyone called the papers. I think a local journalist just picked up the story from the forum and ran it.

There seems to be a feeling that this is the forum trying to gain publicity, which I'm sure it wasn't. As buggie already said, a forum as popular as this doesn't really need to drum up interest through the SLP.

And when someone has been threatened, even if what you say is true and it is a common occurance on an internet forum, it's a bit rude to suggest it's all attention seeking isn't it?

If you want to make 'The Press', you've got to do better than that, David

lol

....ah I love the English press, you just wouldn't get headlines like that back home....that's made my day :)

[pepsi]

I love it! Only in East Dulwich would someone spit chai over a newsagent's window. What next? Will the drunks be swigging prosecco out of a brown paper bag on Lordship Lane?

[*Bob*]

And there's more..

[annaj]

You've got a collection haven't you *Bob*?

Are they in albums or displayed in a special SLP room?

[????]

Was it the dogs or the peckham man's anniversary?

[*Bob*]

Maybe it was 'theirs'

[EDKiwi]

puppy love?

I still feel the SLP has some ground to make-up if we look to the pages of the quality international press..
