The Dullest web page

say NO to the vaccine
I was searching through a website the other day, whilst looking for the most boring threads a novelty forum could have. I happened to stumble across this one.

Now listen to these. I don't think anybody could beat these turkeys:

Best fish and chips in Brum
The wonderful North
Where Does the real North Begin????
Chorlton, Manchester
Beeston, Leeds
Pak Supermarket
Cheap motel in Blackpool
Best proper pubs
Where are the midlands
So who is an urban man then????
The midlands, the larder of the UK
Tatooists in the North


If anybody can find me a duller or more pointless web page, please tell me where.

I'm beginning to think you're right. You read most of the threads on here and there by blow-ins who are not from the places they're going on about, or people who left and now want to bore everyone with their fucking boring memories.

Best proper pub has been really useful. Saves drinking in crap ones when you're visiting a town.

Look at the threads in here and you would be forgiven for thinking the north is all about stabbings, shootings, robberies and miserable, moaning twats.

Add a bit of black pudding, a whippet or two and a pint of warm ale, and that sounds about right.

It's precisely the same when you switch on North West Tonight! It's got to be up there with the most depressing shows on TV, there's no variety in the news stories, it's wall-to-wall murders and stabbings. Loads of ace stuff happens up here, they just don't bother to report it because people seem to prefer hearing grisly details of court cases. I've only watched the London news a couple of times, but it does at least seem to have some stuff on about politics, the arts, transport and so forth. NWT is awful.
 
I don't watch much TV but if I watch the local news I prefer Granada Reports, for the reasons you said. At least they seem to make an effort to show some of the positives, and there's a lot of them!
 
If there aren't any murders in the North West that day, North West Tonight will find someone in Skem or somewhere who's distantly related to someone who was murdered in some other part of the country two weeks ago and get Dave Guest to stand outside their house describing how an atmosphere of shock and grief has descended over the town.

And they re-hash the same grisly, depressing report ("she was stabbed eighteen times as she pleaded for her life") for ten minutes at the time of a crime, the arrest of a suspect, the verdict and the sentence, at which point they usually add that the murderer's mother wept as she watched her only son led from the courtroom. It's enough to make you want to smash your TV and slit your wrists with the shards of glass. Sort it out, Gordon!
 
I think Gordon needs to take a back seat, blend into the background and idly boast about his Krypton Factor days, and let some new and younger journalists take the helm. He's getting old and tired and that shows in the NWT output these days.

I think the lot of them are a bit lazy; Gordon's increasingly tired act is a symptom, but even if they got the world's greatest presentation team in they'd find it difficult to polish the turd that is NWT's news agenda. It's like one of those endurance tests... can you manage to sit through Ranvir Singh's earnest bleating, Gordon Burns sounding like he's about to expire, Dave Guest and team with graphic, gruesome details of yet another violent court case and Heather Stott smarming on about a fancy restaurant in Manchester? Then can you stomach yet another article about some nerk in Cheshire with a fancy car, because obviously people being rich is all that ever happens in Cheshire? It's like a repeat, they may as well just record a week's worth and go home, save us a bit of licence fee money. :rolleyes:

(Can you tell I really don't like NWT? Even Channel M with their week-old MEN stories and that bloke who used to be in the Children's BBC broomcupboard is less infuriating)

I haven't been watching any TV news recently and I feel much better for it.

On a side note this is the thread this forum deserves...
 
This forum is shit. Trying to link together the midlands and 'the north' was always a shit idea, but the views of those who live in the areas got ignored when the midlands was tagged on.
