to find it really funny(ha ha not weird) that for a place where so many peopla say they hate the daily snail

[mshadowsisfab]

there are so many links to it

I dont think we link to it though, the Daily Mail haters.

The only time I link to it is if someone says have you seen a racist/sexist article and then I know where it will be.

It always amazes me how many intelligent women read the mail

I ashamedly like the Mail website for celeb gossip but cannot abide it for news. Depresses me. I stick to the BBC website for current affairs.

but daily mail gossip is mainly look at the state of that woman?

That's why I like it twinset. It makes me chuckle reading the comments from the readers. I obviously take it with a HUGE pinch of salt.

Have I killed the thread with my admission?

I find it really funny (ha ha not weird) that when I see a thread title such as "our donated organs being sold to foreigners" or "a new super race" I know without even opening the thread that the story has been generated by the daily mail.

and if you read it a bit deeper, it turns out that the actual story is something so ordinary and boring and non-newsworthy that them dressing it up in such a controversial way is almost obscene

Anyway, pgwithno3, stop killing threads and push that bloody baby out! You got me all excited yesterday...

I used to have a friend who read papers for the government and reported back, she saw first editions and we used to howl at some of the drivel that the Mail used to try and print,.

If I ever get complacent and think the world is a nice place and I dont need to challenge prejudice or raise my dd to be a strong woman I read the Daily Mail to remind me what an unpleasant world we could have.

pgthethreadkiller, that is my new name.

I am trying squonkie. I need to deliver asap as had offer on our house, they are really eager to move in 5/6 weeks and if DD3 doesn't come until 2 weeks overdue, I will be moving with a 2 week old. Do you think midwife will allow me to be induced asap on those grounds?

don't sweat it, pg3 - if you have to move house with a two week old baby, well, there's no chance you could do any lifting, moving or organising, is there. You will just have to sit on a rocking chair looking demure and post-natal with a small child suckling while someone else sorts out the chaos around you

gosh, I never thought what the original headlines could be if the ones I see are what actually get printed!

My thoughts exactly re moving.

we moved when DS was a matter of weeks old - i just sat serenely on our mezzanine gallery bedroom floor (ie a platform with railings in a converted studio flat) with him on a tahtah ordering removal men about
don't worry about it - no-one expects you to do much

I have killed the Mail thread and turned it into a moving with a 2 week old one. I am truly a force on MN!

Problem is minou, I also have a 6 year old who is like a young version of Maggie Thatcher and a 16 month old. I truly have no idea how we will manage it.

a few of these

and one of these for you

Just the fit men would do. The kids can be tied up until we are finished.

Ah, everybody loves the Daily Mail.

It's just playground stuff, and supposedly very uncool to admit it.

we only read the Guardian in our house Desiderata, honestly

The thing is, why buy a paper at all these days? We just log on, don't we?

I must admit, and I'm on public record, mshadow, that I find this hatred of the DM extremly peurile.

It sets a person up as a sheep.

you could even delegate the bossing around to your 6-year-old - job done.

Oh yes, the MN sheep brigade. How can you have an opinion on it, if you don't read it

I always chuckle at how everyone slags off the mail but i you go in to a shop first thing they always have a massive pile of mails and suns towering miles above gardians & times..

The mails the only paper i can ever finish the crossword in.. for that reason i like it !

*ducks for cover.

That's a rubbish argument though, annoying devil.

I don't read the DM but I have an opinion about it, in the same way I have never 'read' the Sun but have an opinion on that also.

You don't have to be a regular reader to know what it's about. And yes, as somebody else said, as soon as we see and 'PC gone mad' type stories linked online we can usually guess thay have come from the DM.

I read the DM once on holiday and almost spat my sangria out. It is simply a vile rag imo.

Worzel, the DM outsells the Guardian by about ten to one.

It is read by 'the masses'. Doesn't make it any more valid or worthwhile though, imo.

Daily Mail Online is my filthy secret

my ill-advised foreigners thread was from THE TELEGRAPH for the tenth time. i thought that was a proper paper in my defence.
