Was it the one with the cat helping the son with autism learn to speak? Because if so I may have cried a teeny bit when I read it.

I honestly and truly have not the faintest idea what you are on about or why you have a bee in your bonnet about whatever it is

Who d'you reckon she is, Knid?

idiunt, Stalin was a busy bloke. Things to do, people to exterminate. But I think he would have read the Guardian, for a bit of a chuckle. The chief difference between Soviet citizens and Western ones, I think, is that many of us believed the shite that's printed in our media, and they never did. As they used to say of their two main papers, Izvestiya ("News") and Pravda ("Truth"), 'There's no izvestiya in Pravda and no pravda in Izvestiya.'

Things wrong with the Guardian:

The ridiculous poncey recipes. I read the Recipe supplement on a Saturday purely so I can get good and apoplectic over the wankiness of it. I love a puy lentil as much as the next Guardian reader but they take the bleeding piss. Give us a good chocolate cake recipe involving things like, you know, flour and sugar and eggs rather than unicorn piss and leprauchaun flour you can only get in a little place in Clerkenwell.

And then - the male columnists who write columns largely about being male. I'm the only male in a house full of women so that's really exceptional, I'm a Gay Dad so that makes me interesting - no, fuck off. Tim Dowling however can do no wrong.

I couldn't possibly say, Hully. Because I'm probably wrong.

I think Stalin might have liked to take part in the Guardian blind date. Maybe he could have been paired up with Maggie T.

Well then I think he is allowed to join our little band.

We bleeding heart liberal lefties are nothing if not inclusive.

I don't like that odd little man in the House of Women.

I do like the recipes (tho am not a cooking person), went to dinner at an old mate's the other day and we had a full on Ottam Ottolenghi (whatever his bally name is) extravaganza and it was quite delicious.

Neither on the left nor right.

Only really read property news as find the rest far too depressing. Oh and mindless celebrity drivel.Sorry about that.

Im just... me.

I tick all the boxes, but don't have a middle class income.

Does anyone know who Toryboy is?

Me.
And I have an Aga.
Fuck me, I am so middle class is hurts.

Yes to leftie and Guardian, can also add former teacher and make-my-own-museli to my quiche application. Oh, and actual quiche as well.

Leftie for sure , teach sociology so two boxes ticked for that alone , have just done a yoga class and am now drinking camomile tea. But I read the observer on a sunday - does tnat count ?

I don't have a bee in my bonnet hully

Me.....but the online app cause we are poor MC.

Sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick. Sometimes I'm too humourless even for the Guardian

Happy to be counted.

Count me in too.

But I reserve the right to skip over anything in the Guardian written by Polly Toynbee, and regard all articles on finance or the economy as half-baked.

And to regard all its political comment as unreflectingly pro-Labour.

And to regard all its comment on Nick Clegg & the Lib Dems as childish.

Oh fuck it, I'm off to read the Telegraph.

Ooh, yes, I'm in. How super.

Card-carrying. However as I was brainwashed by leftie parents into doing a useless degree I am now stuck in a very low-paid unskilled job so I can't actually afford to buy the Guardian every day. And certainly not at weekends. Shoulda been exposed to the Sun growing up, then I'd probs be a glamour model; or the Daily Mail because then I'd be in a Hard Working Family.....

Happy to be counted here too. Guardian reading leftie and proud.

Soooo, what happens now?
