Delivering the free newspaper 'The Bristol Journal'
300 copies got delivered every Friday and my 'job' was to deliver them.

Pay was 3p a paper plus an extra 1p for each leaflet (should there be any that week). On average there were probably about 2 leaflets a week.

I had that job for about 2 months. Total number of papers delivered? Less than 50 in the first week. Total number of papers and leaflets dumped in the woods - Probably close to 10,000. All the local kids who had a similar round couldn't be fucked with it and we all dumped the papers in the same place.

The Bristol Journal doesn't exist anymore.

Look, there in the bushes, look it's woodland PORN!
No, no wait, it just the sodding Bristol Journal again, nevermind.

I think the kids of Bristol were probably responsible for the 80s housing crash.
The paper was wall-to-wall estate agent advertisments.

Ssh!
Err, I've got no idea what you're talking about...

Started shit, ended up as watchable as usual, the end was good

Edited for secrecy's sake :)
I'm quite looking forward to seeing what happens with Sam in the next episode. Didn't like the way they treated the new teacher :S

Oh, that one who returned from teaching with the 5 point lesson plan was a right bellend.
What price that Fisher gets it on with Robson Green before the series ends, eh?

I didn't think so
they were going down the Conservative = nasty and cruel route, and it wasn't really working. After all it was her who spotted there was something wrong to begin with.

Yeah I suspect so as well. I was surprised to see Finn walking, and that the pastoral care woman had fucked off

I was quite pleased that the didn't drag out of the abused child storyline
I'm sure the fall-out from it will last most of the series, but getting to the point of the story was nice and quick.

I reckon Tom will end up with the nasty and cruel Tory.

do you think?
I guess at least he isn't with Rose Kelly. Now that was a strange storyline

There is always a Tom with difficult-relationship storyline
I'm not sure how many episodes this series is going to have, but I dare say they'll shoehorn something in there.

I heard somewhere there's going to be thirty episodes

Blimey.
It's more of a soap opera than a drama.

What do you want to see happen this series?
(, Thu 5 May 2011, 19:13, Reply)
I'd like to see something horrible to happen
to the one whose name I've forgotten (big bushy hair, makes fun of Sam a lot- Lauren possibly), and see some more of Grantley and Ruby because they're pretty funny. You?

I'd like to see the gobby one who was going to give her baby to Ruby run over by a bus.
She annoys me.
(, Thu 5 May 2011, 19:27, Reply)
Janeece. Yeah she does stir things up a bit too much
my favourites are still Karen and Chris though

What has been your all time favourite storyline?

(, Thu 5 May 2011, 19:30, Reply)
not sure actually
there's been a few good ones. You?
(, Thu 5 May 2011, 19:34, Reply)
Like that other TV show I suggested you might enjoy
There is nothing 'brilliant' in it, but it remains quite watchable.

Did you download any other episodes of that 'other TV series'?

the first word is "wanker" isn't it?

Oh dear, someone is over-tired.

so basically...
... you stole from a little struggling newspaper and killed it.

bravo jeff.

Pretty much.
Although I'm not having a member of the legal profession lecture me about professional robbery.

(Worries that if you reply, you'll send me a bill for you time, including additional charges for 'thinking' and a whopping bill for 'sustenance')

that is the difference between a lawyer and you
i would ALWAYS "think" before replying to a client, a colleague, the other side, the court...
