AIBU to ask if you all get pm's from the press in relation to posts you have posted

[marriedinwhite]

Have now been tapped up by the Beeb, the Evening Standard and today Times 2 because of threads I have posted. This has been in about the last 18 months. Do they pm you too and ask for interviews or comments?

I am frequently approached for my advice on all matters sexshuell

Wahoo!

WORRA and USUAL!

I'll never forget you, you are my first

I was quoted in The Times without my consent once

it wasn't about sexy timez though

Pegs off - though kept outside.

Evidently the correct way

As someone up thread said, I didn't like the idea that a journalist had read my long ramblings about our difficulties over the years trying to reconcile my desire for children with DH's preference for none. Then I realised we didn't fit any of the profiles she was looking for, and that she hadn't read my posts at all!

No

I'm an extremely boring poster but I did, about job interviews and being a young, married, potentially pregnant woman

I ranted away at her about the issues but she didn't use my stuff

I shall expect a PM regarding my very thrilling 'what to make for a picnic' thread forthwith.

Oh gosh yes, pegs off.

I was quoted once in the Times too and what was truly gutting was that they quoted me explaining a POV to a poster (it was about whetehr there should be a Friday Night Topic), thus making it seem like I held that POV, whereas in fact I held the diametrically opposed POV. First and last time I will ever be quoted in the Times and it was a steaming pile of poo.

No. I can't imagine what anyone would want me to comment on anyway. Red Dwarf, the early years?

AF was it along the line so of 'leave him, he's a twat'?

Lol AF should have her own column, never mind quoting her!

Edgar, surprisingly not

I have never been PM'ed by the press.

However, I was once quoted in the financial section of the bloody Mail on Sunday. Flaming cheek.

I'm clearly not contentious or quote worthy

How can you say that scottishmummy? You're officially a "Disgrace to Scotland". How can a Disgrace to Scotland not be quoteworthy? Every time I see you post I think of that and it always makes me smile :o.

Yep, I've been approached by The Times. Told 'em to bog off.

Still got the message, so will c&p it here;

I do think its bad that journalists use the PM facility for this.

Hello

I am a journalist from the Sunday Times, writing about the problem of trying to squeeze modern cars into narrow parking bays. I'm trying to get in touch with some people who have experienced this to illustrate the problem. I notice that you posted about the problems of parking your Toyota Yaris in narrow spaces several years ago. Although this was some time ago, it's interesting that some spaces are too small even for cars that size. I would be really grateful if you could get in touch either by calling me on 020 7782 5820 or emailing [email protected]

Kind regards
Dominic Tobin

Nope never, am disappointed to miss the peg thread though I thought about starting one this morning when I noticed I hang each garment only by pegs of matching colour.

lol,yes that's my fave rebuke received
disgrace to Scotland
what like worse than river city?

Christ Viva, that's an absolutely fascinating topic to be asked abo...

Zzzzzz

I second that, the peg bag thread was way more exciting that the "smallspacegate" thread sounds

Pegs off, rotary line in garage.

I know

I had a suspicion that the article might be something along the lines of "stupid woman can't even park a Yaris"

I started a thread on which is the best loo roll last week. No PM yet.
