I am probably never going to go on holiay to Papua New Guinea.

Rod Liddle is an arsewipe.

Do not need to look at adverts for 2.4 million ound gaffs in Putney. Likewise am not in the market for a second home in Zermatt.

I can't afford the shoes and think that Natalie Hartley looks like a lazy-eyed scrubber whatever she happens to be wearing that week.

Am not in the market for 6 figure sum job running a council somewhere.

Am not going to watch sadie Frost in her new theatrical appearance.

Do not frequent the same restayurants as AA Gill.

Sunday Times has absolutely no relation to my life at all. Why do I love it so much and devour it every week?

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:33

i like teh way the style mag see someone with a plaited nose hair and make a WHOLE magazine about it

once it was adults wearing fairy wings

badgermonkey · 07/02/2010 20:34

I get it but it's only because the Observer makes me want to burn tyres in protest at being preached at about my carbon footprint.

I have been in that Tesco at Tidworth. It's very gloomy.

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:34

ALTHOGUH he once di a vair funny piece about runing races in birmingham new street

PacificDogwood · 07/02/2010 20:34

I could have written your OP - and I live in Scotland and find TST v annoyingly London-centric (apart from the Ecosse bit we get here). Also, I could not care less about fashion, have never owned any designer item, yet still read Style magazine from cover to cover every week.

The paper has nothing to do with my life, yet I love it and Sunday would not be the same without it - clearly I need to get a life!!

cornsilk · 07/02/2010 20:34

remember when they had an issue about fanjo hair?

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:35

"ecosse" snurk

badgermonkey · 07/02/2010 20:36

I like Robert Crampton because he used to live where I used to live in Hull and mentions restaurants I've been to (nobody EVER mentions Hull. It's exciting to us).

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:36

ransey - shit
gill - shit
armstrong lisa - adore
inspetor guy with rw private ed attitudes - shit
crampers - hmm
Janice - love
india - yay
CAROL MIDEgely - adore and she a scouser

Cyb · 07/02/2010 20:36

Giles Coran makes me laugh esp if he's eaten somewhere dire.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/02/2010 20:36

Robert Crampton Cyb - he is in Saturday magazine. I like him. OOh I could bloody well get all homicidal re Giles fucking Coren though and bloody Esther.

Natalie Hartley looked like the aftermath of a heavy night, all kohled up.

I HATE it when get to Sainsbos early and they have sold out of ST and I have to buy the Sunday Mail or somehting.

Just read article about Papua new Guniea holiday where someone was travelling round (cost: £3000 without flights) looking for cannibals. I am currently looking for a week's hol in Morocco fgs.

TheElephant, at least it features restaurants I could go to - but yes, embarrassing...

Still like it

southeastastra · 07/02/2010 20:37

i usually get the observer, today it was minus the magazine!
obviously saving carbon by forgetting to put them in [mad}

FuriousGeorge · 07/02/2010 20:37

I haven't read the Sunday Times yet today.Dh has it at the minute.Papua New Guinea was featured in The Telegraph Magazine yesterday.They do this a lot and I wonder why I bother to buy both papers when they both print the same articles.

cocolepew · 07/02/2010 20:38

I used to live in Tidworth.

We never had a Tesco then.

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:38

clarkson shit
crampers wrote a lovely article abotu teh fine people of brum once( which is true - theya re SO SO nice)
and added in this bit

"Heading back to the station through the Christmas shoppers on New Street, a young woman, strikingly pretty, Asian (I say Asian out of habit, but she?d lived her whole life in Coventry), almost stumbled against me. ?Nearly,? she said. ?I?d have fallen right into you.? You?d have been more than welcome, I heard myself saying in reply, a rare moment in a life usually untouched by the pleasures of flirtation. And instead of running screaming to the police, she grinned and we chatted all the way to the Bullring. I boarded the train south feeling really very pleased with my fellow man and woman, and with myself, too. "

cornsilk · 07/02/2010 20:38

I like Giles Coren as well. Was most disappointed when folk on here said he was a grumpy hobbit.

cornsilk · 07/02/2010 20:38

AA Gill is a twat though. As is Clarkson.

Cyb · 07/02/2010 20:38

see, knowing HE wrote that bit, I can't make myself read it

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:39

tidworth is a shit hole

i think crampers needs to get on his bike( am bored of the "canals of hertfordshire and enfield too)
and LEAVE london and go and suss out garrison towns of the country
in fact i want a WHOLE issue where hoxton london isnt mentioned once
