Control Panel	Posted - 06/07/2008 : 14:11:35 The Argus has now inveneted a new bovine breed called the "fire cow". http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2381198.0.trapped_cows_are_freed.php
Control Panel	Posted - 03/06/2008 : 08:59:24 The Argus announces that this year's Fatboy beach disco will be in... April. http://www.theargus.co.uk/mostpopular.var.2313558.mostviewed.thousands_snap_up_fatboy_slim_tickets.php
Daveb	Posted - 27/05/2008 : 20:45:50 Well they should not be. If it ain't wanted they should remove it,
Miriam Binder	Posted - 27/05/2008 : 20:32:11 Then again, the council being ultra selective about what they will and will not tackle in the way of graffiti can be pretty frustrating!
Daveb	Posted - 27/05/2008 : 20:07:16 http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2297139.0.row_over_calls_for_racist_graffiti.php Local Argus news (not spelling) but what the heck. The comments have all been deleated. Several referred to the Holocaust for some reason and others took offence at other things. I did not read all that it went into but some of the commenters appeared to be in need of a life.
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 12/05/2008 : 20:39:07 An Argus headline - about schools! - here refers to "younsters" (unless it has since been corrected, but it is there in the spelling of the link as well). http://www.theargus.co.uk/display.var.2265745.0.younsters_face_trek_to_new_school.php
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 08/05/2008 : 09:47:35 At least the Argus has here used "inflammable" correctly - instead of the non-word flammable http://www.theargus.co.uk/display.var.2254920.0.firefighters_struggle_to_contain_giant_farm_blaze.php
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 08/05/2008 : 09:04:46 The Argus has here turned Barcombe Mills into Barkham Mills. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2253458.0.pensioner_trapped_in_crash_wreckage.php#comments
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 28/04/2008 : 09:14:22 Interesting news here that in Madison the local paper is now only online. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/28/business/media/28link.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 08/04/2008 : 10:22:40 The Argus here refers to a "breathing apparatus team". I should hope that they are breathing... This should be "breathing-apparatus team" to make the first two words into an adjective. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2178581.0.huge_blaze_at_shoreham_cement_works.php
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 27/03/2008 : 08:56:56 The Argus is confused here. In the headline it is "Burger King leave..." when it should be "leaves" as the noun is singular, and indeed it is right in the very first line of the article itself by having "Burger King has..." How can the Argus have articles on education when this is what it demonstrably lacks? http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2148505.0.burger_king_leave_whopping_great_mess.php#comments
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 23/03/2008 : 12:58:21 People have pointed out here that the Argus has used the word "insecure" of a flat when it should be "unsecured". http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2140630.0.woman_found_dead_man_arrested.php
Control Panel	Posted - 20/03/2008 : 22:24:11 Yes, it's quite easy: The principal had principles - until the biology mistress led him astray.
FG1	Posted - 20/03/2008 : 16:25:25 Back to first principles. Quite right infinite. Principle is only a noun. Principal can be a noun and an adjective but the two words have different meanings.
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 20/03/2008 : 16:02:57 quote: Originally posted by FG1 Infinite I think the Argus may be right. Principle is being used as an adjective. But the adjective to mean "of first importance" is indeed "principal" - having first place. "principle" is a moral quality. For example, "LTNS was of the opinion that Tony Blair was the principal judge of the principles claimed by residents in England".
FG1	Posted - 20/03/2008 : 11:29:19 Infinite I think the Argus may be right. Principle is being used as an adjective.
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 20/03/2008 : 09:15:34 Here - in an article on education! - the Argus puts "principle" when it means "principal"... http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2133850.0.pupils_given_computer_games_for_turning_up_to_school.php#comments
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 12/03/2008 : 17:13:53 The Argus here writes "coowner", which is unpronounceable, instead of co-owner. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2113504.0.partys_over_for_balloons.php
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 10/03/2008 : 23:08:46 The Argus here writes "lightening" when it means "lightning". People don't like to buy papers when care has not been taken over the production. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2107401.0.woman_gives_birth_twice_and_has_five_babies.php
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 02/03/2008 : 12:47:29 The Argus here writes the "Highways Agency were" instead of "was". http://www.theargus.co.uk/display.var.2086793.0.driver_seriously_injured_after_car_smashes_into_traffic_lights.php
long time no see	Posted - 20/02/2008 : 11:48:10 quote: Originally posted by Miriam Binder Bless his cotton gussets. He just cannot resist a ~~crayon~~ photo opportunity
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 20/02/2008 : 11:37:45 All is explained. LTNS has cut corners by using this operating system. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2006/nov/30/uknews
Miriam Binder	Posted - 20/02/2008 : 11:29:58 Bless his cotton gussets. He just cannot resist a ~~crayon~~ photo opportunity
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 20/02/2008 : 11:27:25 I see that LTNS is giving us a glimpse of his clothes sense. I suspect that after most purchases from Gregss his brain hurts.
long time no see	Posted - 20/02/2008 : 11:24:02
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 20/02/2008 : 09:20:17 This should make LTNS - if not the Argus - use the semi-colon. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/18/nyregion/18semicolon.html?em&ex=1203656400&en=99c49a0bee62defa&ei=5087%0A
Miriam Binder	Posted - 12/02/2008 : 09:44:41 Or maybe the Argus is just trying to empathise with its readership Police chase victim named 6:52pm Sat 9 Feb 08 A teeanger who died after a police car chase has been named by friends.
Infinite Poppadum	Posted - 11/02/2008 : 20:06:54 quote: Originally posted by long time no see quote: Originally posted by Infinite Poppadum So we can assume that LTNS would be happy with an electrican who put thw wires on the wrong terminals. Or a cook who overdid the rosemary in a pasty... No that kind of Electrician should be sent to the Falkands to learn the basics. What on earth is this? Since when did apprenticeships in electrics entail going off to the Falklands, far from any pasties?
Miriam Binder	Posted - 11/02/2008 : 17:58:18 quote: Originally posted by long time no see No Miriam they rely on good folks to inform them of Illegal posts. They are now a Downsized unit The Better Metro is Free Sooner or later they will follow. You are talking through some orifice other then you mouth again LTNS.
