You're welcome to your opinion. This is English for You Are Wrong.
My personal favourite is when they have a photo of Madonna with 'Madonna!!!!: written all over it. Then, 'Madonna'. Thanks. I thought it was Putin.

Another shockingly poor example since Madonna looks quite different to how she did fifteen or twenty years ago, so a caption might help.

All these gays going on and on about how Barbie is selling shit-loadsa tickets... So what? 'The Sun' outstells 'The Bell Jar'. Doesn't mean it's any f**king good, does it?

Yeah Kylie sold more albums than Pulp ever did

Clearly Pulp are millions times better though

Kylie is shit and Pulp are shit too.

Kylie has done well to keep her image pretty much constant since the 80s. She's similar to George Michael and seems she can do no wrong so even if she went way over the top in a music video with porn, drugs and excessive use of the mf**** word it would still be applauded as cute.

Pulp are shit.
Are Pulp shit?
Yes.
Pulp are shit.
Here is a philosophy lesson from Jarvis Peniser:
Common People live like common people, because they are common people.
People who are not common people do not live like common people, because they are not common people.
Imagine a person who is a common person. Does he live like a common person? Yes. He does. He does indeed live like a common person. Because he IS a common person.
Now, let us imagine a person who is NOT a common person. Does this fellow live like a common person? I would argue that he doth not. Whereforth? For he is NOT a common person. Which means he does not live as Such!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Common people live like common people! People who are not common people do not live like common people, because they are not common people!!!!! Jarvis is clever man

For the last two months they have been removing (mostly) perfectly good paving slabs and replacing it all with tarmac, while the road is full of potholes. Now there's perverted logic for you, and causing utter chaos closing off chunks of the road, and using the entire layby outside the parade of shops to store their equipment.

But what really pisses me off is the signs saying "FOOTWAY CLOSED" - since when have FOOTPATHS been called FOOTWAYS?

Can someone stage an intervention?

Footways and footpaths are technically different things. It's too complex to go into now, though.

Possibly

However I notice Aaron has brought his banning stick with him today...

I have never ever heard them called footways - do explain, pretty please 🙂

As I understand it, footpaths and footways are both for use by pedestrians only. The difference is the location : a footpath is a path that is not beside a road, and a footway is a pavement that is next to a road.

T'other way round I'd say.

And the mystery rolls on............either way, I have never heard them called footways

I've heard of footpads if that helps.
