Personally, I wouldn't care if I never hear another word about Paris Hilton...

Oh, dear. I've created my own nightmare.

Oh come on, man, everybody watched that video. You had to.

Just because you like drudging through the muck of the universe for personal pleasure doesn't mean the rest of us are abliged to join you! Believe it or not, most people didn't see "that" video, and most people didn't care that it was out there.

Unlike Peter Frampton's album that everyone on the planet had a copy of upon birth between 1972 and 1977, this video only became a required part of the culture of the depraved and hermits alike.

Wasn't she on some video or something?

Ah yes, I remember now where I heard the name. A couple of years or so ago I suddenly got loads of e-mails saying 'Watch the Paris Hilton video', and a URL to go to. Since the e-mails were obviously junk I binned them, so I never saw the video, and never found out who Paris Hilton was. I can't say that I feel my life is incomplete because of this.

After re-reading your post, Phil, I agree that the good and the bad should be kept in the individual threads, but before I leave this one alone, I will boldly admit that I watched the Paris Hilton video so much it gave me carpal tunnel syndrome. I guess if that makes me a muck drudging, depraved hermit, then you are not welcome in my cave.

Paris Hilton, much like Phil, is an ugly, dirty whore. Okay, I take that back, Phil's not that ugly.

I doubt if you would have done, even if you'd succumbed to temptation and clicked. I suspect that you'd have been directed to a site which invited you to enter your credit card details in order to see the delightful Ms. Hilton, after which you'd have been greeted with a 404 error screen. That would have been followed, when your next card statement dropped through the letterbox, with news that several hundred quid had been debited from your account to that of a customer of the National Bank of Sodomistan, or some such place.

So Stephen, do you not watch TV or read the newspapers or any magazines?

I haven't had a TV, at least not a working one, for something like 18 months now. I tend to work long hours, so by the time I get home I'm often too tired to watch it anyway. I may get a new one some day, but I might just get one of those USB tuners that plugs into a computer; cheaper, and saves space. I can play DVDs on the computer, and if there's something that I really want to watch I'll either get somebody to record it on DVD for me, or buy it on DVD, if it's available. I haven't recorded anything on VHS for several years, and I'm gradually transferring those recordings that I want to keep long term.

I don't read newspapers that often, maybe once or twice each week, I don't have the time to read them every day. Most British newspapers are pretty poor, if I do buy one it's usually either the Daily Telegraph or the Guardian, one is moderate right of centre, and the other moderate left; they tend to have better journalists than most of the others, most of which are terrible, but I did buy the Daily Mail for two weeks recently as they were giving away 12 classic british films:

Kind Hearts and Coronets
The Man in the White Suit
The Ladykillers
The Titfield Thunderbolt
Billy Liar
The Cruel Sea
The Colditz Story
The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery
Passport to Pimlico
Far From the Madding Croud
The Lavender Hill Mob
School for Scoundrels

and very good transfers they are too; [Smile]

I'm not normally tempted by free offers, but these did seem worth getting. I hardly read anything in the papers, it was all the usual Daily Mail scare stories telling me that I would probably be shot, stabbed, bombed, or in other ways harmed, probably by nasty foreigners; all about as likely as being struck by lightening, and not something I feel inclined to worry about. The papers that I doo read seldom mention her, and if they do my inclination is to turn to the next page.

I do read magazines, but they're technical ones on various subjects, and unlikely to feature Ms. Hilton, unless she actually does something interesting.

These days I get most of my news from the Internet, from many different sources. To be honest, I would be unlikely to follow links about some woman, or man, that I've never met, buying something, getting engaged/married/divorced/drunk/arrested, saying something outrageous, being involved in a fight <insert other subjects that the newspapers seem to be interested in> or whatever. I'm just not interested in it.

Don't forget that the EU will be forcing us all to drive on the right and making garlic compulsory in school dinners next year! [Big Grin]

I would have bought the Daily Mail for the free DVDs, had I not just bought the Ealing box set containing four of them a fortnight or so before they did that promotion - grrr!

OK, Jeremy, now I understand you and your points in the other thread much better. [Big Grin]
