Why do things have to be "improved" when they worked fine in the first place?
The old bbc iplayer (currently still available to use but no doubt will be phased out) allows you to search "beatles" and it brings up all programmes that has "beatles" in their synopsis (eg a documentary on Magical Mystery Tour). Search the new one and you get nothing.
How is that better?
I dont want to be told all the music news from around the bbc for the last 7 days i want to search iplayer for programmes to listen to.
I dont get all this supposed advancement where everything is brought together to give a fuller experience for the user all in the same place. Cant we have something that does 1 thing incredibly well instead of something that does 17 things moderately ok?

Hm, I have a hunch I could derail this thread by posting a 1,000 word articulation of the problem of Islam.
Ha ha!

Islam is a religion. So talking about the ''problem with Islam'' didn´t seem quite right somehow.

It's still racist to diss an entire f***ing religion. I really don't think dissing Islam as a homogeneous group of people gets you very far.

Is it?
Surely its the context and content of the work, its approach, how it is written? Or are religions not to be questioned.
We havent even read what Funny Paper would have said yet. There is a book called 'The Problem with Christianity' by Josiah Roycs (do a google search as i cant post links).
Taken by whats been said that book is wrong yet the description is
"This new paperback edition of Royce's late masterpiece presents his philosophical interpretation of Christianity's fundamental ideas -- community, sin, atonement, and saving grace -- and shows their relevance to the current confluence of world religions."
I doubt anyone here is promoting anti-islam or any other religion (there is no place for anything like that at all ever) but all religions should be open to discussion. At the very least we should wait to see what would have been written before jumping in the air.

A Bit Of George-Lovin'
Today I was explaning the Beatles break-up to a friend of mine who is a complete Beatles-ignoramus (she didn't know that they sang I Want To Hold Your Hand 
). I was explaining about the White Album and I was like, "The most well-known song on it is probably While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and later on I was explaining about Abbey Road and I was like, "The most well-known song on it is probably Here Comes The Sun…or Something," and I realised that they were all Harrison songs. And I felt so happy that George's songs are the best-known on two of the most highly-rated Beatle albums. So yeah, there's my bit of George-lovin' for this evening. 
"I don't think we were actually swimming, as it were, with shirts on, 'cos we always wear overcoats when we're swimming,"-
George Harrison, Australia, June 1964

I believe Funny Paper was mostly just making a joke about the alleged un-derailibility of this thread that its title promises. (I think…)

Not wanting to start a political debate but absolutely delighted and very relieved that Obama won a second term in the US Elections. Romney's policies scared the living crap out of me at times.

I knew Obama was going to win again, but I was still a little disappointed. It was getting a little intense with Florida and Ohio for awhile, though.
I guess the NAACP were outside of a voting place handing out water, lol. Who are these people? Shouldn't that organization be dead? I don't know why but I just thought that was really funny.

Did Trump ever have to pay the $5m that he put up if Obama's birth certificate or college enrolement form was ever produced?
Never got this fascination in all of that, its just idiocy in my opinion. The same kind as those who were/are intent in believing that Paul was/is dead or Elvis was/is alive.

Yes, I can see how it could seem that way, if you haven't taken the time and trouble to acquaint yourself with the relevant data of the case.

Isnt the whole thing that supposedly Obama was born outside of the US and therefore is ineligible to run for the presidency and so cannot be President. One of the ways to remove all doubt is if his birth certificate is shown (not from an Obama source because it could be doctored) or any other document that would be sufficent (eg a college enrolement form). So far this has not been done to any suffience level and so the stories go on.
I havent studied it in any detail but thats what ive picked up from the bbc and a few other places. I'm willing to be wrong on all of that.

Saying you are, and being, are not necessarily the same thing.

Im sorry but Trump has now come out, said the result was a farce and tried to get people to march in Washington. Somehow the result was an injustice despite the people freely having their say. Obama won, get over it and work together to bring the country together by finding solutions to the issues that separate the nation.
I thought he was good in the Apprentice US but based on this and the Scottish Windmill/Golf Course strop he comes across as a pillock.
