    N-Dubz star Dappy 'sorry' over text message threats Dappy and his N-Dubz bandmates featured on a number one hit last year N-Dubz star Dappy has apologised to a woman for sending her threatening text messages, after she contacted BBC Radio 1 expressing her dislike for the band. Chloe Moody texted The Chris Moyles Show while the band were being interviewed, calling them "losers" and labelling Dappy "repulsive". But she was shocked to receive a message the following day from rapper Dappy saying: "Your [sic] gonna die". The BBC said Dappy took down Ms Moody's number without producers' knowledge. As a result of the incident, N-Dubz have been dropped as ambassadors of ant…

    So today they are launching safer internet day. The news is mainly focussing around the damaging effects of children/teenagers accessing porn on the internet. Main link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/26122390 I agree with the fact children should not be exposed to this sort of thing and I am just aiming this topic at teenagers.

I can imagine it's been looked at by teenagers for years and years but has it damaged their generations? The issue of casual dating sites is a different argument...

    :new_yawn: :new_yawn: I don't know if anyone has read samples from the white paper but it's the driest, most boring bit of work I've read in a while. They are trying to entice people and wet the appetite for independence but I'm sorry - this white paper in my opinion brings nothing new or ground breaking.

    Just seen this come as a headline on News24 and a follow-up article on the BBC News site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/26327020 I, like a lot of people, am a big fan of Ghostbusters, but also of other works from Harold Ramis, such as Stripes and Groundhog Day. Very sad news, especially given as this is the 30th Anniversary year of Ghostbusters. RIP.
