BONG ..And Here is the Not News..BONG
LEE:
A place for news that really isn't news, as heard or seen on the media today.
BONG.....It's Snowing.
No shit Sherlock... it's f***ing January.
When it snows in July.....That's NEWS!
I don't need to see any more BBC, license-fee funded, reporters stood in Doncaster high street to help me visualise what Doncaster high street looks like when it's snowing.
BONG....The snow in Doncaster is 1" deep
Snow so deep that it only results in the pavement being a bit slippy is not news.
If a BBC reporter can get there...it can't be that serious.
Butterfly:
'Soldiers kill people' ::-)
tiermat:
I have noticed a disturbing trend for non-news recently.
As above, "It's snowing", "Expect snow".
Also as above "Soldiers kill people"
Add to it "NRA say guns are safe" (REALLY? How so?)
"MigrationWatch say that we are doomed to be invaded by Foreign Hordes" (So how is this different from the rest of our history?)
"Royal Family upset at Harry" (Who gives a fuck?)
Wowbagger:
Yesterday our local rag blared out the total lie "
SOUTH EAST ESSEX HIT BY BLIZZARD
The deepest snow I saw was almost 4" deep and there was virtually no wind. Every definition of a blizzard I have ever seen involves strong winds.
clarion:
--- Quote from: NOAA ---Blizzard
(abbrev. BLZD)- A blizzard means that the following conditions are expected to prevail for a period of 3 hours or longer:
Sustained wind or frequent gusts to 35 miles an hour or greater; and
Considerable falling and/or blowing snow (i.e., reducing visibility frequently to less than ΒΌ mile)
