AIBU to really hate the Daily Fail phrase....

[Janoschi]

'Elf n Safety?

Yes yes, I KNOW it's already beyond the pale to read the bloody thing but it's my daily fix of hilarity... bit addicted to it now!

But, you're a f**king newspaper, DM. Stop spelling like a teenager in a strop.

And 'teamed with' when referring to clothes.

I'm actually enjoying this. It's why I read the blasted thing

I remember the murder story too because I'm on the DM website everyday and was equally appalled.

There was also that one recently where the headline was something like SINGLE MUM asks Council for BIGGER HOUSE to house her NINE kids! And it turned out she had just adopted 4 or 5 kids from her best friend who'd died of cancer and was now struggling a bit with space. Really unfair headline. The woman worked too but they implied she was a sponger.

And still I go back for more. WTF??

Me too. I guess we like having our buttons pushed

Tethers i love the link, my first was

COULD FERAL CHILDREN GIVE YOUR HOUSE CANCER?

Maybe it's us wanting to make sure we're not subconsciously sliding into DM mentality. The day I agree with the DM is the day I book my lobotomy.

MIGRANT TEEN MUMS DEMAND £300,000 WILTSHIRE HOME TO MAKE CANCER CAUSING KORANS.

Janoschi to make it authentically DM you need 'now' or 'so,'...

NOW MIGRANT TEEN MUMS DEMAND £300,000 WILTSHIRE HOME TO MAKE CANCER CAUSING KORANS.

YANBU. I hate it when people start OPs or thread replies with "Why oh why" as it sounds all "Points of View" and also somehow Daily Mailish.

"Why oh why must the elf and safety people make our lives so hard?"

Good point.

Or maybe:

OUTRAGE AS MIGRANT TEEN MUMS DEMAND £300,000 WILTSHIRE HOME TO MAKE ETHNIC MINORITY ELF N SAFETY MANUALS FOR TRAVELLER CANCER UNIT.

Can't fit the benefits bit in though.

Love the link, LittleAlbert.

Can't link to YouTube on my phone but there's a song called The Daily Mail Song which I find rather droll. In a cancer-causing, benefit-thieving, elf n safety kinda way.

And it's always "father of six Dave" or "a grandmother from Battersea" or "mum of five Doreen" instead of just someone's name, when someone's reproductive status usually has nothing to do with the article whatsoever.

Or Polish-born mother of 6.... As if that bloody matters either.

But I still find Elf n Safety the worst

I think (and I may be wrong) that you have Richard Littlejohn to thank for that particular turn of phrase.

I LOVE the Daily Mail. Where else would one go for Sam Cam trouser bulletins and Nigella's current dress size? I need to know.

The Daily Heil, as we call it in our house, are obsessed with things that look like Hitler. Cats, houses, currant configurations in buns etc.
Obviously they worship him.

Gah. Please be careful clicking on the link above from littlealbert... A trojan is currently munching throughmy hard drive.... (own fault for not having up to date Norton but thought i should warn others just in case!)

A "boffin" is the standard word in that paper to describe anyone with more than 2 GCSEs to scrape together...

Double yawn - yet another DM related thread!

And any celebrity with a child of the same gender has a "mini-me".

can honestly say I never buy it

sounds worse than awful

...but what would this dress look like on a REAL woman?!

Tethers - brilliant!

"Almost unrecognisable" is my bugbear - for someone going to the shops and not looking like they did at the Oscars 20 years ago.

Oh great, I clicked on the little albert link - wtf do I do now?

me too, what do we do now?
