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.

Morgause · 01/12/2013 11:49

She's banging on about a chap called Dave.

Oh god I might have to get it for DD1 who has a ridiculous crush on Legolas. Feck. I hate you, OP. How could you? Grin

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?

Morgause · 01/12/2013 11:53

That seems reasonable Pester

Don't tempt me

I can see the paper shop from here....

Revengeofkarma · 01/12/2013 12:24

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!

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 01/12/2013 12:26

Yes

Varya · 01/12/2013 12:33

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 : - (

ForalltheSaints · 01/12/2013 12:45

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

fifi669 · 01/12/2013 12:48

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

Morgause · 01/12/2013 12:49

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

I'm immune to their politics, really.

Legolas [tchgrin]

And I could use the paper in the guinea-pigs' cage.
'Tis very absorbant, The Mail/ Mail on Sunday

SteamWisher · 01/12/2013 13:11

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

liquidstate · 01/12/2013 13:23

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

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

scottishmummy · 01/12/2013 13:25

You're one of any on mn.dm is linked and discussed daily on mn
Surprisingly by folks who claim not to like it

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.

trashcanjunkie · 01/12/2013 13:44

Yes you are. They are a denizen of wanktwattery and you bloody well know it.

trashcanjunkie · 01/12/2013 13:46

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

scottishmummy · 01/12/2013 13:47

Liz jones I has it down to a fine art,yanking a certain type harrumphing mutha chain
She knows exactly the key phrases,what nuance,and all the indignant mums respond
It's the response,the mummy indignation that makes Lj popular with her employer

Morgause · 01/12/2013 13:51

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.
