  4. No CN delivery and no redelivery all week, thanks to PCF. Nothing - despite phone calls, e-mail and lots of promises from customer service.

  5. BERNICE....What do you mean "No Delivery All Week??"

    I one of the Soon-to-be-Erstwhile (May3rd) Home Delivery "Managers" from Neptune-Keyport-Navesink.

    Is there some PROBLEM?? It could explain the dour looks on the PCF people's faces.

  6. Bad haircut. Hummmm so many. I pick Skippy the modern day Eddie Munster look. Anyone knows what Gary does at the APP now that he doesn't have to follow Skippy around nod and laugh at his jokes?

  7. Yeah Erwin, Gary runs the paper. There's some bald-headed guy in the EE office, but nobody knows who he is or what he does.

  8. Bernice

    PCF has areas they will NOT deliver to. Hopefully you are not in one of those areas.

  9. Wonder of wonders, I got a phone call from PCF this morning and later an actual newspaper! Must be the power of Gannett Blog.

  10. the word "fuktard" is offensive to
    middle management at the
    courier post! :o)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Someone please tell gary to start having people who know how to construct sentences to read the copy of his pet reporter.

    It's becoming embarassing.

    ReplyDelete
  12. STOP using the word "Fuktards." It is offensive because it also appears on so many of the birth certificates of NJ middle management and the so-called "management"!!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. 10:51, how much longer will gary be running the paper with Skip back in Neptune calling all the shots again? And don't say he's not. Please spare us the bullshit.

    Those of us with brains know better.

  14. "It's becoming embarassing."

    You should get someone who knows how to spell to help you construct words.

    What a fuktard.

  15. 2:41 -- If you mean the guy in sports, you're right.

    3:06 -- There are anger management seminars available that will help you quell the need to nitpick to maintain the illusion you have even achieved adequacy.

  16. APP stuff:

    Who is Gary and who is his pet?

    Is Skippy, as at least some here call him, coming back as publisher?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Skippy,

    Will you be at the board of directors meeting? Will you say anything or just smile or something? I want to know.

    Nice haircut, nice shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Who is Skippy? Is he the peanut butter person?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Skip: William C. Hidlay, president and publisher of the Home News Tribune and Courier News.

    He goes by the nickname "Skip."

    His e-mail name is "shidlay" rather than "whidlay."

    When he came to the APP, there were any number of people who wondered why a grown man would want to be called "Skip."

  20. The Asbury Park Press = Sailboat be sinking. Right, Gary?

  21. If things were equal, these mangement bullies would be little wimps. But they have the corporation to fall back on, lean against or whatever. Why am I anonymous? Because I do not have the corp behind me.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Anybody know if the Skipster is going to the board of directors meeting?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Gary, man or mouse?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm surprised Skip doesn't have the comments deleted about him. Anytime AT has a negative comment posted about her she has it deleted and she says no one should be reading/writing on this blog. She must be reading it. Maybe she can clue the Skipper in to the crap being written about him cause if their was anybody who doesn't deserve the bad rap its him.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Good evening, A.T.! Just read that you do your best to get negative comments about you removed. Sorry, Toots! I just can't think of one good comment after all these years!

    ReplyDelete
  26. 2:41 PM, are you talking about EL? At least he leaves no uncertainty about his own political opinions of the people he reports on. Meoooow.

    ReplyDelete
  27. "Why am I anonymous? Because I do not have the corp behind me."

    Or a spine.

    ReplyDelete
  28. 3 pm, if you had anything but shit for brains, you'd know Skip is not back in Neptune.

    What an asswipe you are.

    ReplyDelete
  29. where's EJ?

    ReplyDelete
  30. 10:46, you are right -- Skip is not back in Neptune.

    Not yet.

    But if the combining of the editorial into a "regional production hub" (as happened in Ithaca) happens in NJ then there will be no need for different puhblishers and presidents or separate EEs.

    Think of the money Gannett could save by cutting these top positions.

    Of course it will mean a horrendous workload for the people remaining, but when did that ever affect a Ganett decision?

  31. Is Skippy going to the board of directors meeting?

  32. Building news, asswipes! Where is it?

  35. C-N home delivery all week has been normal in my neighborhood.

    That said, the C-N has continued to distinguish itself. Samples from the big Sunday edition:

    Front-page rip-off -- "The Superior Sandwich Search is on", aping the Munchmobile featured in the Star-Ledger.

    Brushed off the splendid weather -- 85 degrees and everybody outside. Mentioned in passing in a story about a festival in Lambertville (a town outside the C-N area).

    Half-fast on the NFL draft on the front page of sports. Kenny Britt of Rutgers to the Titans in the 1st round -- below the fold. Mark Sanchez to the Jets in the 1st round -- light-face headline below the fold. Largest picture was of Matthew Stafford -- an old story by the time the draft began.

    Hit job on the Jets for not holding their training camp in New Jersey. A major embarrassment for the C-N -- Mark Sanchez (see above) is the lead sports story in the New York area this Sunday.

    For a chaser the C-N finally reports on the empty seats in the new Yankee Stadium -- long after that became national news.

  36. My Balls have been really tight and they itch really bad ! Could this be an issue with the building. Or maybe I caught something @ a MetroMix function

    ReplyDelete
  37. 10:46, if he's not back in Neptune it's just a matter of time.

    He was the one conducing the interviews for the regional jobs. By all accounts, Hollis and Gary sat quietly while Skip asked all the questions.

    Unless you're saying that was his ghost. I guess that was the same ghost seen wandering the halls earlier this week, as well.

    I love it when people resort to name-calling. It just means I'm right.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Correction to above: Largest picture on sports front is of Eugene Monroe, who went to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first round. The C-N played that up because Monroe played his high school ball in Plainfield.

    Still, that's not an excuse for being half-fast when it comes to draft coverage.

    BTW Kenny Britt is the first player from Rutgers ever to go in the first round -- a fact mentioned not in the C-N but in the New York Daily News.
