Happy Sundays everyone. I have started the week with a rant about the Zara Mike non story in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Here.

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time MmeG . Feel free to rant away here.

Stats. I installed a statcounter the other day and have become slightly obsessed quite interested in it. i can actually see where some visitors work, it's that detailed

Anyway I was highly amused to see that someone from Associated Newspapers looked at my rant about the Daily Mail this morning. Felt amused, then guilty, but then amused again. Unfortunately they didn't comment, so I can't see if I offended their Daily Mail sensibiilties :)

morning all. I've been sporadic in my posting, and blogging, but my latest blog post is here

attheheartoftheopinion.blogspot.com/2011/10/lies-fabrications-and-daily-mail.html

sorry having real issues inserting links in firefox (having IE issue).

Am reading lots of your blogs - just don't seem to have enough time to comment...

I don't have a mn badge on mine because I can't figure out how to do it (all entirely visual and I don't do visual, Grin)

but I was accepted into the mn bloggers network honest!

That's a shame, MmeGuillotine. I do find that setbacks in one area of my writing nearly always affect how I feel about other areas! Do PM me if you want to rant

MmeG sorry to hear you're having a rough time :(

wannaBe · 05/10/2011 11:29

petite I imagine that the dm and their ilk have had a busy time reading all the blogs about their antics. Grin

PetiteRaleuse · 05/10/2011 11:34

Yes I just read yours - good post have commented.

I blather on so often about that 'news'paper but thought they were just poisonous. I didn't realise they would actually make stuff up and report them as facts. I know they twists stats and scientific reports but this is just a step too far. MmeLindor blogged about it on Salt&Caramel and managed to get screenshots.

Thank you! I'll be okay - just having a grumble! I'm going to throw myself into working on my book today and see if that makes me feel better! :)

Hello everyone
I am a fairly newbie blogger and have just blogged about extended family holidays (by extended I mean the family not the holiday!)

FlamingoBingo · 05/10/2011 11:59

Can you post a link, Twist? Are you on the MN network?

mummy barrow I totally get your post on twitter, so true!

MmeGuillotine · 05/10/2011 17:48

Oh excellent - great posts today for me to enjoy in peace later on while D is at poker! :)

Angel786 · 05/10/2011 22:39

Argh internet has been down so taken a while to post this...but is it EVER ok to call someone a retard?

Thoughts please!

PetiteRaleuse · 06/10/2011 07:57

Morning everyone. My Daily Mail rant the other day inspired someone to send me my very first ever hate mail. Journalists are thinner skinned than they expect everyone else to be. Surprise surprise.

I have ranted about it here
