Some people have history of bringing politics into the discussion in the most irrelevant of threads


Charlie Wells posted:
Well it would appear some posters had presumably got carried away celebrating/drinking last night prior to posting on here. I've removed a couple pages worth of off-topic posts relating to politics, and having nothing to do with presentation. Threads getting hijacked by Brexit 'discussion' are becoming tedious and warnings to individual users may be issued in future.


Could there maybe be a separate forum for "off topic discussions" that don't relate to TV presentation, it would give a place for people to talk about things other than TV presentation rather than people just adding it in to other threads?

For anyone interested the GEB ratings will be available this afternoon. If there good I’m sure Piers will let you know on Twitter Wink Wink

I’m surprised nobody in this thread has mentioned the fact that the clock on GEB was using the 12 hour format rather than 24 hour like the news channels do.

Although I do remember an occasion, can’t remember the circumstances, when the GMTV clock made it to air from a pre-recorded item but it was in the 12 hour format rather than 24 hour.

The clock's 12 hours behind.

Do they have any reason to have a clock generator that runs 24 hours when it's never normally going to be running in the afternoon anyway... or even past 8:30 AM.

Oops. Must’ve missed that in amongst all the political bashing and tw*tgate.

As bilky says, Metropol was spun off from TV Forum because of issues with the off-topic discussion in 'The Lounge' (as was)
