Initial instinct is "no" there is nothing for the press to get hold of.
This was quickly followed by the knowledge that the press are able to find a story where none exists.
An example of this was The Sun a few days ago trying to infer there was "something going on" between Matt Baker and his dance partner Aliona Vilana. All because they stayed up chatting in a bar until about 5 a.m.  They used italics to emphasise certain bits, phrases such as "father of 2" to make a chat with his dance partner sound sordid.
Despereately trying to create an innuendo-ridden drama, but it was totally unfounded.
Because my brother and sister-in-law very rarely come to my house, or me to theirs,  they might suggest we have a family feud going on. Not true. We get along perfectly well.
My best friend visits me once a week and stays overnight.
That could cause the press all sorts of flights of fancy.
There is a wide spectrum of newspapers, though, and some are quite reputable, while others are quite prepared to invent stories.


Homosexuality used to be a criminal offence. The press would have a field day with the tiniest smidgeon of information. Horrendous! 
But in spite of decriminalisation sexual orientation still remains an area of juicieness for some parts of the press.

I talk to my car, they'd think I was a nutter! I'm also really clumsy so they'd probably say I was a drunk!

Oooh yessum I'd be an alco aswell.  And if they saw me at the weekend I'd probably be in need of rehab.....drink problem probably brought on due to depression from my fluctuating weight and fued with an old friend.  Reality?  I like a drink, I'm a greedy sod who diets non-stop then says feck it and has a takeaway and I haven't seen my best mate since about October but there are hundreds of texts between us since then.

yep... they'd have a field day with us.    We're just a normal family... mostly.   But life is full of ups & downs...

Tee hee, they would have a field day

maybe!!!

 

Are you me???

I would be one big 'circle of shame'! 

Blizzie is that where they circle your sweat patches and moustache? 

I found the original quote a bit baffling.

if they were camped outside my house they'd hear quite a few rows with the OH which would be a 'break up' and our relationship 'on the rocks' when really it's just us having a barney and making up a few minutes later.[/QUOTE]

If someone has a good relationship with their other half, I'm at a loss to understand  why they'd be having numerous rows.     No relationship is pitch-perfect, but a good one doesn't contain continuous rowing.  So it may not mean that a couple is on the verge of splitting up, if they are heard or seen rowing on a regular basis, but it indicates to me that the relationship isn't quite right, and probably isn't an exceptionally happy one.  So if I heard someone constantly rowing, then I would gather that they are having problems in their marriage.  Most of the time, couples I have known or lived next to, who argue a lot, have eventually split up.  Sometimes maybe not for 20 years, but they admit most of their marriage was not happy.

  Like only living a few mins walk from my parents and them never visiting or me very rarely visiting them would be a 'huge family bust up' and 'relations strained'  although the reality is I chat to my mum on facebook every night and we often meet in town for lunch and I ring her on the phone to see how things are.  And I talk to my sister for about half an hour nearly every evening on the phone 

Why do you spend all the time talking on facebook and on the phone when you live a few minutes walk away.?    Obviously, if I knew someone who lived a few minutes walk from their parents, and they never visited or appeared to even ever meet up, (as your post implies,) then of course it would imply to me that they don't communicate.

The press and whatever, see something and print what they see.  I say as I see too, and so does virtually everyone else.  So yes, if someone was rowing a lot, it would indicate that they are having problems, and if people appear not to see each other, then that would indicate that they don't have communication.  People can only form opinions and views on what they see.

Of course now, loads of people will post and say how them/their parents/their grandparents and so on had LOADS of rows EVERY DAY and were happy as pigs in shite and were married for 100 years.  

Yep! 

Mine would just be a huge circle over my house and family, though. 

You'd think by now most people would be sensible enough to realise that the tabloids are a joke and that papped pictures don't tell the story at all.  Yet still I'm surprised by how much people are taken in, a source close to Gaga forums said today.

A spokesman for the internet said that there's summat worrying about people who love nowt better than a bit of schadenfreude.
