How's that a gain from those results lol

 

 

 

Ah, well, they must be using similar rules to how Ed beat David to the Labour leadership :clap:

Almost right, he/she's a journalist (If you can call any one at the star that).

 

Just look at the post history, 99% of them are about the star

 

Valentino, I didn't realise I was that interesting!

 

And I don't really have anything else to say yet, as I don't live in Sheffield, yet (I'm hoping to move to Beighton in the next couple of months - cue lots of people telling me what a hole Beighton is).

I don't follow the blunts or the wendies, but I know local newspapers and am interested in the media.

The Star must be chuffed with the reaction to this story, look at all the people who have read it!

There is enough to drag our country's 5th biggest city down to the 'country's biggest village' reputation it has to outsiders, without having the local rag help too.

FOURTH, not fifth!

Ed? David? Who are these nonentities?

You must have heard of Thr Ed Miller Band.

Why pay to advertise in the star when you can advertise your business on here for free.

Colin Drury is the only professional standard journalist at the Star and it cant be long before a proper paper poaches him.

My favorite was the late great Peter Harvey

It's about as bad as most regional (probably national actually) "news"papers. Have a look at http://apiln.blogspot.com/ for a wider view of rubbish local journalism.

 

Edit : actually the star is quite prominent on it !!

I once bought a Cornishman in Penzance on which the front page headline was "Man almost run over in Penzance"

You read the headline wrong shanes, it actually said "Man almost runs over peasants"
