A while ago I did mention that certain things in the 'music press' have been directly lifted from topics which were posted here as 'in jokes' and have then been taken and published as 'fact'.

We should start a thread saying something totally false, like a new album release or that Joy Division will tour later this year, just to see who is stupid enough to pick the story without checking their sources.
Seriously Telegraph, stop being lazy cunts and taking reviews from fucking music forums.
You're fucking journalists.

The post that started it all:

Was that real?
BTW, for a 40 something, you gotta give it to her, she's pretty much in shape... that is a lot more than Barney dancing.
So, how come they didn't mention that you said she's still in shape despite her age? And compared to Barney??
Indeed!

I just wouldn't expect a big newspaper like themselves to trawl forums to get quotes for an article.

Maybe he just meant he's a Dumbass, and co-incidentally a friend of Dorothy, as opposed to their being some causal relationship twixed the two states of being.

Doubtful.

I like the look of your meatballs, Jeff... 
Snorri xxx
I'd eat your meatballs Jeff. As long as I was allowed to cook them and add plenty of chili peppers, enrich the sauce, serve with paprika rice and serve with either a good wine or some very cold beers.
You might end up missing your meatballs though...

Don't worry about it.
Anyone spouting poofhate using a computer is just proving there's a few double entries in their family tree.
NEWSFLASH: The modern programmable computer is pretty much the invention of one Alan Turing, head of extreme cleverness at the Bletchley Park codebreaking facility during WWII, and renowned uphill gardener.
Don't like pooves? fine, turn yer PC off and give us some peace.
And while I'm at it, just in case some ragingly repressed homophobe leaps in here with "It's unnatural", that's an argument that holds water for exactly as long as it takes to look at any other random species on the Earth.
Nice quote Nic....
Great to see the journalists were able to sum all your intellectual thoughts so well in one quote.
Just another reason to hate journalists I suppose.
