I'd say his parents know his username, or are on boards. My dad knows mine!

The Irish Times have been quoting boards for a while now. I was quoted about English Paper 1 on the next day.

She came home and goes,"Joe, what's your username on boards.ie?". She also claimed she knew that it was me from the way I phrased the sentence?:pac:

Lazy journalism. Padding out their articles and getting paid without moving their butts. They trawl for the most sensational quotes or those that fit their own point of view.

fufureida

Meh Irish times can kiss my nicely brown ghetto arse...

Pathetic attempt at journalism once again.

I love the way they don't mention what exam the quote is related to. Fine and dandy if they say it in the quote, but most don't!

Ashashi

Clearly, someone was caught floating around Boards.ie in the office, and made up a story about surfing for quotes about the Leaving Cert, so they didn't get the sack.

Innovation at it's finest here.

Can I have your autograph?

Even if they do mention the exam that the quote relates to, there is a flow to a conversation in a forum and if a response is taken out of context of the conversation it can be interpreted very differently. But then that's their game - sensationalism

Does anyone else feel slightly disappointed that they weren't quoted? :pac:

Be careful what you post. If you don't want the times to use then don't post on topics they may potentially look at.

Lawliet

Huh I don't think I've gotten quotes in a paper before, awesome!

SquirrelFace

Ha well Im glad they used it about my art history, it was a terrible paper... THE TRUTH MUST BE KNOWN!

Piste

The Irish Times has been quoting boards at LC time for a while now.

UpTheSlashers

I'd love if they quoted one of the posts slagging their lazy journalism

NufcNavan

The Irish Times is ****.

See if that gets a quote.

DancingQueen:)

Quoted twice in one week First one was just about Irish and as it was pass made me seem like a genius! At least this one was a little closer to the truth. It's my best subject so yeah I was disappointed >.<
