In my defence there's a big poster advertising The Hobbit and it has a huge picture of Legolas.

Please don't judge me.

Mmmm legolas.


Now, what's Liz Jones up to? I never buy it but miss giggling at her daft column.

I was all ready to shout YABVVVVVVVVVU but.... legolas......

I think we need to discuss some sort of 'free pass' system. Maybe one copy every year?

I think there should be a free pass system. Or a costs pass - you have to donate an equivalent amount to the price to a health charity or something that supports immigrants. Maybe Cancer UK, since according to the Mail everything causes cancer!

Used to buy it but it has become the bringer of horrific and disgusting news in the most sensational and graphic terms possible, too much about so called celebs etc., so to me it is longer worth buying along with most other newspapers, unfortunately so that is not the Sunday pleasure is once might have been to me, sadly : - (

Yes I do not think you should have bought it. The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday are papers of hatred.

I read the DM online .... I think like all papers you know the way they lean and just take it into consideration.

But..... but ...... but ..... Legolas Grin

I'm immune to their politics, really.

'Tis very absorbant, The Mail/ Mail on Sunday

Not even a picture of Legolas could tempt me. Sorry but you know YABU!

I buy it every now and then. I use the paper to polish the windows.

Mostly I read online when bored, it has interesting photo stories eg. deserted hospitals in America etc.

Saw today's effort from Liz Jones in a coffee shop this morning. Why does she hate mothers so much?? It must be exhausting being her and being full of so much venom.

and even if you are immune to the politics, you are not immune to their shite marketing ploy, which you have fallen for hook, line and sinker, and have now propped up their shit arse wanker newsgroup with your hard earned pennies. Grin

I'm deeply ashamed but the Legolas poster is worth the much deserved abuse. Wink

I hate the DM with a vengeance.

But the Saturday one has a good TV section. I read that when I visit my Dads.
