Okay, here's the thing.

I don't think Baker is a racist. What he did was stupid. He 100% deserved to lose his job.

Correct.

In my line of work, if I cock up and lose two million quid, it would be a mistake, but I lose my job.

This bloke is in the public eye, and if he can’t sense check and review his social media postings for potential criticism before hitting go, he’s not any good at his job as a public broadcaster.

[Letters]

I think those are reasonable points.
But, to be honest, when you posted it GP I couldn’t really see what point was being made.
It is a vaguely amusing image and it seemed like a vague dig at the royals but I didn’t think it was particularly funny.
Nor did I think it was in any way racist. The potential offence didn’t even occur to me.
When I thought about it my brain slowly joined the dots and I could see the potential connotation.
But it wasn’t immediately obvious because, well, the child is white.
Ok, one of his grandparents is black so he’s mixed heritage but Megan is pretty light skinned, Harry’s a ginger.
If you didn’t know anything about his family I don’t believe you’d know he was in any way mixed race.
Of course, we do know about his family so I think it’s fair to say Baker should have thought it through.
But given that I didn’t immediately see the potential connotation I can understand why he didn’t.
There is no way Baker thought “black child...monkey!”
The kid isn’t black.
When it was pointed out to him he immediately deleted the tweet and apologised.
Not sure else what he could have done.

People are falling over themselves to take offence.
Offence is highly subjective.
I recently posted something on FB which was clearly a joke but someone saw it and suggested it might be taken the wrong way. Honestly, I thought they were being stupid. It was obviously a joke. But I don’t want to go out of my way to cause offence so I deleted it and apologised and that was that.
Obviously I’m not a public figure, those who are have a duty to be more careful but given how subjective offence is do we want people sacked because they post something which others find offensive?
Obviously there are lines but surely intent is relevant.
There’s no chance that Baker intended any offence and definitely wasn’t trying to make any point about race.
Do we have to stop calling kids “cheeky monkeys” lest they have some unknown mixed heritage and offence is taken?

[LDG]

Oh. Not wishing to speak ill of the dead, but he was shit.

:lol: I sort of agree. It's not her best work as a story although some of the twists work well.
The effects are the thing which sell it most I guess, and it has enough references to the original book series to keep the fans happy.

[WMUG]

It's not her best work as a story.

That'd be cos it's not her story.

[Letters]

She co-wrote it with two others, no? I don't know exactly who did what.
She's famously protective of her characters so she at least must have had sign-off on it.

[Letters]

This is a very touching story:

But then I saw this. I feel bad for this amusing me but is that really the best picture he could find of her?!

What ever happened with the idea for a Facebook page for Goonersweb? Or wasn’t it feasible?

Do you mean as well as this place or instead of? Although FB is where a lot of (terrible) online debate goes on, personally I prefer this sort of thing. Gives us more freedom.
I think there was some FB group set up for GW although not by me, we could create an official one with links to this place I guess.

[Marc Overmars]

I got rid of Facebook a while ago. My feed was just littered with endless rubbish like adverts, shit memes and pointless updates from random people I no longer had any contact with. Also I'd rather future employers and people weren't able to see some of crap I got up to during my uni days!

Facebook was of it's time but I reckon it's a bit of a dead platform now. Certainly for my generation at least.

[Letters]

Interesting. From what I understand "the kids" have moved on to other things like Instagram or Snapchat and probably other ones which I'm too old to have heard of
:oldboy:

[Marc Overmars]

I don’t mind Instagram, it’s quite minimal to FB by comparison and most of the people I follow on there are people who I actually associate with in real life. The others are just celebrities or other famous folk I’m interested in.

Never used Snapchat before.

[Letters]

I don't really understand Instagram - in that it seems to me to be a subset of what FB already does.
That said, I do post a lot of pictures with nonsense captions on FB so I guess I could just as well do that on there.
One colleague reckons that the algorithms on Insta are better - you see less nonsense you're not interested in. I've not tried it.
I've found by strategically unfollowing, occasionally unfriending people on FB I can cut out a lot of the nonsense on there.

Stop being so superior man. Every nation that has been to space has had crashes. They almost succeeded. I give full props to them. Even though the money could have been better spent on low cost housing in Mumbai

What word would you use for a team of people I have been working with.
Multiple teams actually :)

[Xhaka Can’t]

If you’ve been working with those teams, the word would be “victims”.

No offence.

[Letters]

:(

Anyway... :p

The point is, I’ve worked a lot with teams in Poland, India and China.
There are national traits which come across in their work, in the teams I’ve worked with anyway.

All that said, the India space program has admittedly has done very impressive things given their budget

Motherf...

I went into the interface where I manage the hosting and domain name of this place to make sure it was going to renew OK but there was something wrong with the system so now I've paid for some hosting we don't need (the site is hosted separately from who the domain name is registered with).

Have messaged them asking if I could get a refund as I do feel they "tricked" me, somewhat.

And don't worry, subjects. I've managed to check this morning and the domain is set to renew.

No need to thank me <_<

Texted a mate yesterday, he was my best man. Saw him a month or so ago but we don't keep in touch that regularly and I haven't heard from him since.
Thought I'd send him a message to see how he's doing. He replied saying he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He's currently having biopsies to see how bad it is.
He's only my age which, for the record, isn't that old.

It's made me think about my mortality a bit! :( :oldboy:

A friend of my wife's found out he had a tumour and he was dead within 7 months. He was only 32.

It does make you realise how fortunate we all are and it also makes you appreciate the important things in life.

Have a feeling my mate is going to be OK, if Rod Stewart can see this off I'm sure he can.
Had rocked me a bit though.

I really really do need to go and get myself checked out. Basically feel OK but I'm getting to the age when things are starting to go wrong with bits of me (not those bits) and much better to deal with things sooner than later.
