General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I haven't read a newspaper in years, but I think it would be sad if the Observer was to cease publication. It's been going for about 170 years now, so it would be a tragedy if people couldn't read it any longer.

Bluddy technology! It's taking over our lives completely and, I know I'm using a computer to moan about that, but where will it all end? What's it going to be like in 25 or 50 years from now? People will lose the art of using a pen and paper; books will no longer exist; English language has already begun to change with stupid words that nobody heard of 10 years ago; and so on. I know change is inevitable but, luckily, I won't be here to see it.

Keep our local newspapers on the presses.
