JayeL Strikes Back

More Daily Mail-related carry-on. I’ve just sent this, and it better make a difference. The fact that Mr. Williams seems to think I just want my letter published is almost as annoying as the issue itself. Hence the bitchy tone……

Re: Irish television listing and the euro

Mr. Williams,

Thank you for your reply to my email concerning the listing of Irish television channels under the heading of “Regional Variations” in your newspaper. I am glad you have acknowledged my communication but to be honest, the issue remains unaddressed and whether my letter was published or not is inconsequential. The fact is your newspaper continues to list three of the Republic of Ireland’s four national television channels as “Regional Variations” to which I can only assume means regional variations of UK channels.

And while I do, on occasion, continue to buy your paper for 85c (or “0.85” as you insist on calling it), it would increase my enjoyment of the Daily Mail no end if you ceased this oversight. You wouldn’t regard TV5 as a “regional variation” now, would you?

Yours sincerely,

Joseph L

In other news, I re-bought Red Hot Chili Peppers “Californication” and bought “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”. And it’s lovely.

lol hope he listens this time! actually thats something that always drove me mad. Our local paper used to have soap updates for all the british versions of soaps that were way behind the irish ones and they had stupid regional variations too. grrr… love always

eh The Republic of Ireland and Great Britian are two different countries according to my geography lessons…so I’d say it’d be quite impossible to be a regional variation…so sayeth the ignorant american…

Emmm……let it go Jayel, let it goooooo. *backs away before Jayel explodes in a regional variation induced fury*

lovely

ur fightin the good fight J keep it up dude 🙂

When I was coming home from Rome, via Heathrow, British Midland were quite behind schedule. They decided to make up for this by offering everyone a copy of The Mail. Not one person in my group took it. We all turned our noses up due to it’s anti-irish-ness. Fight the good fight Joe Kev

fair play!!! i’m gonna buy californication soon too- i’ve been meaning to for months- (actually, if truth be told i had it, but it was my brothers- opinions are mixed as to whether i lost it, or he took it back, and then lost it!- me thinks it might have been me!!!)
