Well I'm disgusted

I was going to go and make some eggs benedict to calm me down, but I'm completely out of Ham. I'll see if I can find an alternative

Person believing somebody else is outraged finds it outrageous!

Would you like to fill in a Hurt Feelings Report?

I thought it said Pearson and it was going to be a thread about the Watford manager throwing his toys out of the pram about something :dunce:

We all rely on headlines to some extent. That’s why subject headers are so important in emails. I had 183 this morning and a quick scan through and I cull it to 10% ( in combination with who it’s from). Don’t have time for the rest. So if someone’s lying that’s pretty sad. We don’t all have time to do a PHd to establish accuracy behind a headline or even summary. That’s why fake news is so dangerous. Why, what’s being misconstrued today?

I would imagine the OP was talking more about tabloid or clickbait headlines. Thing is even sites like the Argus aren't immune to it...

To be fair to the starter of the other thread, he has been subjected to a relentless stream of mockery and pelters (including from me) and doesn't deserve an actual thread about him (which is against NSC rules, in fact). Last time someone did that to me I put them on ignore, where they remain, 5 lears later (never forive, never forget, me).

For the record I thought it was about the (formerly known) Pearson media group, now owner of Edexcel :shrug:

Your wife (allegedly) started a thread on here about you, is she on ignore?
