Hollywood Knives
« on: Oct 11, 2017, 05:31:26 PM »
Is anybody else fed up of the enormous amount of news time being spent on Harvey Weinstein? Is anybody at all surprised by his conduct?
Yes, I'm glad he's got/getting his comeuppance and the women involved are being listened to but the bulletins are just repetitive muckraking because of his fame and power and I'm tired of hearing about it. Can't wait for him to go to prison and become forgotten about.

Ah zoony zoony - it must be a while since you were married. I'll guarantee that no matter how boring a married man may find some news item or other if they don't wish to listen then the good old selective deafness comes to their aid.


On this particular story I couldn't give a damn and so don't read anything about it on News sites and [censored] a deaf 'un if it gets a mention on TV or radio.

It is many years since I was wed and I was never any good at selective deafness. I listen to the radio all day from the Today show through til PM so I've had a bellyful for days now.

Am I allowed to take this seriously?

Bafta, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, has suspended Harvey Weinstein's membership from the organisation........ big deal  !
You're right though Zoony, it's really annoying the amount of time all news outlets have given to this - well OTT.

A very big, rich and famous one. Strange how scum comes from every stratum of society.

Had a serious discussion elsewhere - thanks :)

Why do I get the feeling that that may not be such a bad thing. :)

I have no problem with disagreeing politely UP. If you have an opinion I'm happy to hear it.

It's fine zoony, thank you.  There is an interesting discussion going on elsewhere and more people involved so you find people often put what you were going to say and it takes the pressure off - and when there are two sides to the argument they are much more evenly balanced in numbers.  I think greater numbers can lighten things at times.

I am second guessing myself all the time now and it probably isn't worth the effort.  I was going to put something interesting about high level degree apprenticeships on but I know someone will just have a go at some of them, or the universities that are doing them so probably not worth the effort either.  I'll add it to another thread 'elsewhere' I think.  It is a shame because I like to share the things I find out.
