That ladette article is such utter tosh. I could taken exactly the same pictures at parties in 1979. And probably worse. This is what pisses me off so much about the Mail (et al) it's like all this is something new that never happened until Blair won an election.

Swans look tasty. I wish I could eat swans. There are two different kinds on my way to work and it seems very unfair that they're both the queen's, you know? Not that I'd exactly stand a chance against one.
So are we meant to be going OH NO immigrants stealin our houses today, or is the idea of them all gathering in tents more frightening now?

Titchmarsh must have been wondering how he went from being a household name fronting one of the nation's most popular shows, to placing stickers on a bikini-wearing model named Kelly.
Don't his novels have their fair share of smut?
― Mark G, Thursday, 28 February 2008 12:07 (sixteen years ago) link
In 2000, Titchmarsh was awarded the M.B.E. in the Queen's Millennium Honours List for his services to gardening and broadcasting.
How those days must seem like a distant memory now.

Anyone ever seen the Alan Titchmarsh Show? I saw the opening 30 seconds of one and it was so much like Alan Partridge it must surely have beeen deliberate.

Didn't Titchmarsh win an award for the worst description of sex in his books. His show's more Mrs Merton (let's have a heated debate) than Alan Partridge. Never saw Gaunt on it, whenever I see it* it's usually Amanda Platell moaning about the Royal Family.
*Based on a scientific sample of about 3 shows.

All I ever see of the Mail is the front page: today's example - boasting that, because of them, Marks & Spencer had stopped giving away free carrier bags - is the sort of thing I might actually admire if only it were done by a paper which did not unswervingly support the economic system which encourages such things.
MC's "YOU WANTED THATCHER, YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW" upthread pretty much covers 95% of Mail articles, especially those about deregulated broadcasting.

Inside, as these photographs show, youngsters were jumping up and down with cans and bottles, spraying them around as though they were at a rave.

Obviously the kid who posted her party details on bebo is a bit thick, but then a lot of kids are a bit thick and naive. I felt quite sorry for her, it must have been fucking terrifying, losing control like that. The ppl who turned up at the house and trashed the place are cunts. It would be really funny if someone ran a dummy party, advertised on web 2.0 social networking sites, and when the lairy lot turned up, have a bunch of heavies spring out of hiding and break their motherfucking legs with iron bars.
Admittedly the picture of the girl in the domme outfit was pretty lulzy. The article is archetypal/typical of the hysterical steez of the dail mail as well "when you are out seeing a show in the city, your teenage children are havig group gay sechks on the washing machine oh no it's a national crisis bring back the birch" etc etc. That paper is such a piece of shit it makes me ashamed to be britishes.

This is also typical mail fare though, yes? "Oh no, YOUR TEENAGE CHILDREN are indulging in kinky sex and wearing provocative outfits, isn't it disgusting? Here's a picture, btw."

Yes it is, but I still love it. My old landlady got the mail everyday and so I used to have regular access (to the newspaper). I couldn't understand how women could read a rag whose stock story was basically 'Women Are Scum'. Then I realised the story was actually 'Other Women Are Scum'.
