Do You Read..........

woo hoo I was first! Do I win?

That's a long time to read the newspaper Dawn. Same paper since you were a child? LOL. Glad I'm not in ear clipping range! But...... YOU WIN!!!!!!! Enjoy your prize, use it wisely. Hee Hee.

yeah and it gets boring reading that same old newspaper over and over again too....

Yes. I suppose that's why it's called a newspaper.

Welcome to myLot.

I used to get them at work too. It was a lot cheaper than reading them at home!

I read about it but didn't see it.

I usually don't even get to watch TV except kids shows.

Which is your favourite cartoon. I love cartoons. I'm such a child!

peanuts definitely peanuts with snoopy and the gang.

Most of the broadsheets are tabloids with longer words these days. In fact some of them - the Times for example - even look like tabloids!

That's another reason I don't bother to buy it. It's too d@mn depressing.

It's not the grammar, I don't understand that, it's the spelling mistakes that annoy me and having half a sentence at random places where you really need the last bit.

That's interesting. One of the best books that I have read on English grammar was written by a Sun journalist!

The Daily James - all the news that's fit to wrap around tomorrows chips! I like it. I can see you as a media magnate. There used to be an Asian restaurant in Glasgow that called it's menu the Dehli Belly - I don't think they saw the irony in that! In truth I only read them at the weekend. But I do look online daily.

errrrrrr no, just 40 is all. The rest are scattered about the countryside. About 52 miles driving time.

That must keep you busy. I bet those 100 aren't all conveniently located on the same block either!

well, my first cat was a paper shredder so when she would pile up the papers, Sab would find them and tear them up TWICE, when we lived in a little house in East Austin, I took out BAGS and BAGS of news papers she had squirreled away in drawers and the piles on the floor Then she was putting them in the storage space that was meant to be a laundry room (before we had a washer and dryer.) I emptied that a few times too, and the last time was when I told her no more papers. She tried a few times to convince me we needed to take the paper, but I refused. I'm going to guess that all the times I de-newspapered the house I probably took out over a TON of news print. NOT a happy camper doesn't even come CLOSE...

I knew a man in Germany who hoarded newspapers. He had every copy of a particular title since 1955! He retired in 1982 and they took piles and piles of papers away.

Yes, I agree. They put in newspapers what sells. Why do we as a human race want to buy into misery all the time? If this could somehow turn around, then the world would be a much happier place.. And probably healthier too.. - Derek

I once asked an editor if he thought that there was any mileage in a good news paper. He said that people love to read about misery and that it would never sell. Regrettably I think that he's right. Doesn't say much about us does it?

Oh Maggie you're not one of those Obama birth certificate forgery believers are you? His Birth Certificate was proved yonks ago in the District Court. Let's change the subject. The man is in. He will screw up - they all do - and then the US can vote in another idiot. Just like we do here!

[b]No, not only has the so-called BC on his website been unproven (it is not a BC, by the way, it's a document non-citizens--including a family member of his who has one--can get, even long after birth!), he has spent over a million dollars keeping the real thing suppressed! He has something to hide. We just want to know what. It's interesting that Kenya even has sealed documents about his birth, too. His BC isn't the only document he's refused to show, either, yet the Constitution requires that a presidential candidate prove he or she was born on American soil. There is a plethora of evidence that leads one to believe otherwise. I'm not a "believer," hon. I just want evidence! Every other president has been vetted but this Chicago thug (& his background as such is well-established, even by him, in his book!). All he has to do is show a simple piece of paper any American has. Yet he's fighting tooth & nail to keep from doing that. As for "District Court" proving anything, ask yourself why another court is still taking the case that he needs to show the document, if it's been "proven."

I guess that the headlines are the"News" Sweetie. But I think they have to offer other things to persuade people to buy them.

Yes, indeed. More often than not i just browse on the headlines, not really reading its full text. It is really the lifestyle and entertainment section that interests me. Have a nice Sunday my friend.

Curiously the Financial Times here is pretty neutral too. Even our "Independent" newspaper seems pretty biased to me these days.

LOL. Do you know many of the people mentioned on those pages Steph?!

Reading is a very precious gift and I do so agree. Read everything that you can.

And here I was thinking that you spent your saturday afternoons down at the bookies!

Hahahaa - do I look like a woman who'd know one end of a jockey from the other? Not on your nellie!

I find the ceebrity cutlure that we have these days awful Tamara. Like who cares who wins Big Brother etc? XXXX

Hi p1key, You are so right, there, the girl with a false boobies won, it and she has got a contract from playboy mags, that says al all, NO TALENT!! lol! hugs. Tamara xxxx

It's like a book. You can't snuggle up with a computer screen the same at all.

I will pick up a subject from a newspaper and then research it online sometimes. It's quicker and easier.
