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 Shock

Ah that's OK then. I bought it, but it went straight in the recycling so I didn't actuality read it. Phew.

I would buy anything for free diamonds. I'm beginning to questions my morals here. Oh dear.

The Guardian peddles other shit. Not all shit is racist shit!

And yes, OP, you have sold your soul!

fellowes · 22/09/2014 17:55

i read the daily mail , judge away !

LittleBearPad · 22/09/2014 17:59

There is a degree of hysteria about the DailyFail on mumsnet. It's full of crap but so is the guardian and the Sun and the Mirror and the Express and the Telegraph and the Times

HighwayDragon · 22/09/2014 19:51

60p for a lego model, cant pass that up!

DaddyBeer · 22/09/2014 20:00

Guilty of reading the DM whenever my blood pressure's low and I think I'm feeling a bit too calm..

SquirrelledAway · 22/09/2014 20:08

I reckon it's fine to buy it for the lego, it makes a great cat litter tray liner.

Clawdy · 22/09/2014 20:24

What other shit does the Guardian peddle, Andrewofgg ?

catsofa · 22/09/2014 20:30

You can buy the lego for 99p on ebay afterwards, there are loads of them and it's CHEAPER than buying the nasty racist hate filled paper.

Nancy66 · 22/09/2014 20:55

err, no it's not.

leeloo1 · 22/09/2014 21:06

If you spend £5 in Waitrose (or £10 at weekends) then you can get the Mail for free - so even free-r free Lego. :)

The daily mail is so hypocritical. I can still remember at the age of 15 or so clocking that one day they were slagging off princess Diana. Next day she died and they were acting as if she were a saint.

Nasty paper.

catsofa · 23/09/2014 11:25

It is cheaper if you have to buy five copies, isn't it? I must admit I don't know how much it costs but I can't imagine it's less than 20p?

Icimoi · 23/09/2014 11:27

Buy it, cut out the tokens, put post-it notes inside pointing out what a load of bullshit/blind prejudice/rubbish selected articles are, put them back on selected newsagents' shelves.

FrancesNiadova · 23/09/2014 11:35

Cut out the coupons, cut the rest of the papers into squares & thread some string through. Eco-friendly toilet paper! Ta Dah!Grin

inloominotnorti · 23/09/2014 11:36

Is it send in or claim? Cos I did this to get something at the entertainer and they said "oh we ran out about 9.30" There was no substitute we just didn't get one Confused

ChippingInLatteLover · 23/09/2014 11:39

I'll have to have a word with my morals later - but I need to know, is it packets of lego or tokens?

waithorse · 23/09/2014 12:03

Packets of Lego. My local W H Swith sells out if you don't buy them by about 9.15. Angry

Shockers · 23/09/2014 14:23

Helping DS with his paper round one morning.

DS: Raging Post to no 11 please.

Me: Haha... it's Racing, not raging!

DS: Ohhh... I thought it was a funny name, but I reckoned it must be written by really angry journalists. Like the Daily Mail.

He's 14 and we've never had the DM at home. He's made that observation by reading the headlines as he posts the papers!

catsofa · 23/09/2014 23:02

^ LOL! Grin

LadyWithLapdog · 23/09/2014 23:11

You've sold your soul and it's now like a plastic lifeless Lego brick. I think the DM should do a feature on today's something-for-nothing society.
