'Are you a ringer?'

No, just waiting patiently for you to elighten me with your understanding of the finance industry by answering my original questions ? Surely thats not too much to ask as you felt sufficiently equipped to make your original comments

[Ruddler]

St. Pat's Day; Birthdays of Rob Lowe and Rudolph Nureyev (happy birthday you 2!); Ronnie Kray popped his clogs (gone but definitely not mourned); Robin Cook resigns from Tony Bliar's cabinet (hey, at last, a principled politician); High Court throws out numerous hopeless applications.   I know, who cares?  In the great span of history, today won't even be a footnote.

I think the comment by Mr Bailhache at the end of the report in the JEP on Senator Syvrets high court bid clearly shows that the local courts can not be classed as impartial.

There was never any substance in Senator Syvret's complaint's

[Voltaire]

You're on your own there.

The word news refers to "any new information or information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience."

So you are saying that http://blog.alienvisitors.com/2007/04/latest-ufo-reports.html is actual news and not a blog with the rantings of someone who says he has a evidence of wrong doings by extra terestials?

With seven polygraph-verified witnesses—including Travis Walton himself—this event stands out as the best evidence yet for alien visitation. Anyone who condemns this case or denies there is any evidence of an extraterrestrial presence has not fully researched Walton's experience

Sounds in some ways similar to another BLOG, both of which are not NEWS sites but VIEWS sites as both are as yet unsubstantiated and are personal views and opinions of the blog owner.

Voltaire, I don't write the dictionary.

News
• noun 1 newly received or noteworthy information about recent events. 2 (the news) a broadcast or published news report. 3 (news to) informal information not previously known to.

Stuart's blog does contain news, given that some of the information he posts is new and noteworthy information.

Not all of the content on his blog is news, but neither is all the content of newspapers.

[Voltaire]

As it is around this date (15th March) should the blessed SSS been told to beware the Ides of March?

Perhaps JP and the rest of the so called Establishment will stab him

Et Tu Southern?

quite a well thought out post when you consider the similarities. Julius Ceasar is a political satyre from William Shakespear based on actual historical details and the themes seen in the play are eerily similar to modern scandals. The intrigue, the lying (Hello Mr Perchard, the deception(hello Mr WEB), the power struggles, the immoral hypocrites (hello Mr Southern), the abuse of power(hello Mr Cohen), the loss of power (Hello Mr de Faye)and so on. There are many actions still seen in the current political landscape especially here in Jersey. Act 3 Scene 1 sees the imortal words "Et tu, Brute? with the scene starting with the words "The ides of March are come" which ceasar believes is a sign of his impending death, ultimately culminating in Ceasar being stabbed in the back by his best friend Brutus.
Ceasar was killed on 15th March 44BC. Read the play, you will probably be able to identify many of the characters with the motley crew we already have in the states and see so many similarities you would possibly be surprised.

Stuarts site is a blog site not a news site and although it may contain certain areas of news, it is still not a news site and remains a blog. # Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site. The word blog has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.

you post "newly received or noteworthy information about recent events" until proven, many of Stuarts views are simply his personal opinion and do not fall into the NEWS catagory. You are trying to stretch the meaning enough for St Stuart to now be a bringer of news rather than opinion and views and therefore this answer may just be falling on deaf ears. My personal view is that Stuarts blog may contain some news items but is not a news site, the same as this sentence is my view and not a piece of news even though it falls into the context that you are quoting from your online dictionary. Sometimes you have to use common sense as well.

This is news:
http://stuartsyvret.blogspot.com/2009/03/late-night-london-4.html

...and has been reported as such, by CTV, JEP & BBC.  This new information (news), was first new on Stuart's Blog.

The medium used to pass on news is neither here, nor there.  Whether its a piece of paper, a blog, or some dude standing in the square ringing a bell, saying "now hear ye, etc.".

The accuracy or inaccuracy, of any new information is neither here, nor there.  It's just new information, which could be right or wrong.  It is entirely up to those receiving that news, to decide what to do with it, believe it, or disregard it.

"Blogs generally represent the personality of the author" ...and news found in newspapers generally represents the collective personality and views of its authors, editors or owners.  What's new?

SSS loses then he blames the UK judiciary which are obviously are part of the same corrupt exercise.

Sssssssshhhhh I thought I heard it all until it was said that the mysterious "5 murders" made it into the application.

SSS face up to the fact it was unlikely there were murders.

A children's home run with the mores and standards of the times? - yes but our expectations have changed, this is not to condone any abuse which may have happenned but do not judge the past with todays standards it is wrong and frankly trite.

To all the others who seem to be alleging a plot involving the Freemasons Rotary Round Table the Lasallian Brothers the Vatican the Royal Family (especially Prince Philip) and those friendly aliens at Roswell - try to get out a bit more often.

Freemasons are a corrupt 'brotherhood' hiding behind a mask of respectability and good, and they are VERY powerful.

Fortunately SS was now found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge.

And........Durendal, I get out every day!

This is the most important day in Jersey history since 9th May 1945. I've talked to people about this and all the outcomes from this and it will be the biggest day in Jersey history since 9th May 1945.

I suppose a public holiday is now out of the question?

[rogueelement]

I,m surprised the States Manual workers have not requested a St Syvret  day off ! obviously if it falls on a Saturday the following Monday should be taken in lieu and if you already take mondays as a sickie , take the tuesday off instead, failing which, if you really must go to work , and I cant think of a good reason why 10 men need to stand around a hole in the ground, but no matter , if you must , then it should be at double time , with an additional day in lieu for having to go to work.
Question: if you have a sickie on your day in lieu are you entitled to another day?

[Durendal]

Does anyone know Saint SSS's birthday because we need to march on the States and the Vatican to ensure that is made both a public holiday and a feast day

In order for SSS to qualify as a "Saint", he would first need to have performed at least two significant miracles - any suggestions?
He would also have to be dead but that is just a technicality.

I am sure that they could make an exception in this case!
