AIBU to buy 5 copies of the Daily Mail?

[Bardette]

And probably again tomorrow. I'm not going to read it or anything, but they're giving away these little Lego sets. Stocking fillers, party bags, prize box... they're perfect.
Or have I sold my soul

I'm struggling with this myself. So far I have resisted.
I cannot give the money!

Thanks for the tip, is it a token collect and what have you got to do to get the lego.

If you have sold your soul then so have I, we've been collecting them for DS who loves lego. I also sell my soul a few weeks a year buy the Sun to collect vouchers for an affordable holiday. Needs must!

YANBU, it stops 5 people from reading it and presumably as it is a cheap source of lego will be a loss leader for them.

Piper you can pick up the lego in WHSmith daily with each voucher.

YANBU.

As long as you save someone from a burning building/runaway train/galloping bull, and then everything will be karmically balanced.

Don't understand all the hate for the Daily Mail - at least it's not the fucking Guardian!

Squooh do I just have to save one person or one person per DM?

The Daily Mail is a right-wing pile of poo.

The Guardian is a newspaper that doesn't peddle racist shite.

HTH

I personally couldn't do it, I keep away from that filth, don't even click online. Lego is temporary, standards are for a lifetime.

Our copy was lying for all to see in the lounge yesterday when some friends popped by unexpectedly. The kitchen was a bomb site after Sunday roast, the lounge was AWASH with lego and the house was generally a tip. After they left, I noticed the Mail in the lounge and had to text the friends to explain myself. I could not bear them to think we had bought it for any other reason than to get the free lego! I didn't care about the general slovenly mess in the rest of the house.

Another friend picks up the newspaper, asks the cashier to scan it 5 times, pockets the lego, then tells the cashier to keep the offensive bigoted badly-written piece of s* paper.

I managed to resist buying the sun for the Morrison's meat and veg voucher and survived....... Just!

Oh and YANBU. Free Lego is awesome (especially the cute little shell on the Ninja Turtle yesterday).

Nothing wrong with the Mail. I won't share my opinion of Guardian readers!

Same chocolatespiders. Really could have done with those vouchers as well but I'd rather go hungry than buy the sun or indeed the DM, as OTT as that sounds.

I needed a newspaper when we moved house to wrap glasses and plates in, 'twas a Sunday so corner shop didn't have much choice. I spent £1 more on the independent on Sunday just to wrap plates in because I couldn't lower myself to buy the sun.

I didn't know about this and will have to buy it now as DP (41) adores lego (for his daughter obviously...)

I'll just hide it at the bottom of the recycling...

interesting comments. I'd definitely judge someone much more for living in a scuzzy house then I would for reading the Mail on Sunday

Argh it wasn't scuzzy nancy ! The carpet was clean, but covered in toys and we hadn't done the washing up from dinner half an hour before as were much more interested in watching the new episode of Chima with DS before he went to bed! . I wouldn't have even minded if they'd needed the loo as it was sparkling. Anyway, my friend isn't the judgy-pants type. I just didn't want her to think I'd gone all weird and started buying a comic instead of something that actually has news in it.

All lighthearted anyway. I even sometimes buy the Express (but only for the cryptic crossword obviously).

Is the Express the one the one that still has a mega hard on for Diana?

I'd judge someone for reading the mail more than the messy house. But I'm a judgemental cow.

I think so, yes squoosh. It's page after page of celebrity rubbish, but the crossword is just the right mix of challenging yet do-able. Oh, and there are pages on managing your money and sex life when you're over 60, cruise holidays, lots of adverts for collectable china dolls that you can pay £10 a month for the rest of your life and comfortable trousers and shoes.

I'm aware that I sound awful by the way. I just can't help it. I'd buy anything for free Lego.

they could be giving free diamonds and i wouldnt buy that shite

No point in me getting it then not worth the bus fare

I couldn't buy that shite even though my DS is a massive Lego fan.
I don't think the DM should get any support & I do judge people that read it.
Hysterical, populist, racist scaremongering is not worthy journalism but does perpetuate rubbish uninformed & dangerous attitudes.

I read the mail online all the time and I'm not racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever.

I don't usually buy it however as I'm too tight..... Thanks for reminding me about the Lego!
