Re: Gracious me… in Chit-Chat
Have you tried watching the PC clock and then guessing when the minute is going to change? (This isn’t nearly so much fun if you have a second counter on your clock).
Alternatively, why not see how many pencils you can poke up your nose before your colleagues take you home? :)

In my opinion no. It’s not common sense. The reverse should be true. The goverment shouldn’t be allowed to slap censorship on anything. I can’t really see how if a jorno can find out something why the “security” hasn’t already been breached (and for example: then you get the undercover agents out. In the case of operatives in cover).
It’s not that I don’t agree in principle with what you’re saying, but I think D and I are just in agreement that sometimes it makes sense to keep stuff quiet at the time.
You could “get the undercover agents out” to use your example, but what if those same undercover agents were just on the verge of getting the information needed to prevent some awful thing from happening? You can keep the few that know quiet, but if it hit the headlines and everyone knew then the agents might be safe, but the information would be lost …
I don’t want you to think I’m not passionately in favour of civil liberties - I really am. There’s times when stuff should be reported and isn’t, and that’s easily as bad as the other way round :)

Since the 60’s. The SIS can D section (is the term) any press realse (media in any form, T.V., radio, newspapers), for reasons of national security.
But isn’t that just common sense? If MI6 know that some information is about to be released to the world at large which could seriously jeopardise national security then I’m sure most people would rather wait for the information - (which would most likely be sensationalist pap anyway! ;)) or even not have access to it?
I can’t see how, when they are ultimately answerable to the government and the government is ultimately answerable to the general public it would be in anyone’s interests to use the power of press censorship unless it really was necessary?
As I understand it, the ‘powers that be’ have to jump through hoops and apply to regular courts to get a press release stopped, and even then there’s a time limit…
If MI6 were being told by the government to stop press releases in order to cover up their own misconduct or something then obviously that would be wrong, but it would leak sooner or later and the government would be stuffed. I can’t see how it would be worth their while?

Re: Vent your spleen! :mad: in Chit-Chat
Now THIS I know something about! :) Did you know you can declare yourself bankrupt? If you owe credit cards and loans and stuff you can get them written off. You wouldn’t be credit worthy for 5 years, but it’s got to be better than paying it all back? Student loans don’t count, but most stuff does. You should go to the CAB and get it sorted :)

Re: Christmas in Chit-Chat
It’s a Wetherspoons pub, so I’m prepared to bet that the ‘full’ plate of Christmas dinner will come straight out of the freezer, be thrown into the microwave and then delivered (still frozen round the edges but hot enough to melt your cutlery in the middle) with bad grace by surly, miserable staff, made surlier and more miserable having been forced to wear santa hats and bells round their necks or something equally humiliating!
The food is very cheap there, but it’s also usually really, really bad!

That’s outrageous! What you need to do is to take them to the European Court… I’m sure I can speak for all the woMbles when I say that we will fight your cause and wave placards and stuff. Hooch will be able to find WoMble solicitors, and I think there’s a guy from the BBC here somewhere isn’t there? We’ll organise a big campaign, and our slogan will be ‘WoMs not Bombs’, which will capture the attention of the media and gain public sympathy… :)
