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?

I don't buy any Sunday papers, or papers at all, for that very reason, GetOrf.

They're for people who live in a totally different, parallel universe.

Travel section today was full of top tips to get an upgrade to First Class.

For example use your 1 trillion airmiles.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/02/2010 20:40

AA Gill - love and adore, however he has seemed to soften of late and is being understanding and mellow (go back to being a twat, ade)

India - I love her.

Janice - fantastic

Michael Winner - alwasy read and laugh at with

Dominic Lawson - always read yet am bored by

Shane Watson - she is very funny. As is the agony aunt whose name escapes me.

Cannot cope with Ramsay's shtick anymore, and the recipes by Lucas Hollweg are crap.

I do not understand at all Mrs Mills - it is a joke which has passed me by.

Ohh yes, I look years younger [preens]

People have told me I look "rested".

I must have looked really shit before.

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:41

no now the agony aunt i am worried about
she has lost her vertiginous heels

and kate addict spicer with the hovelly flat and sever body dysmorphia

odd

Cyb · 07/02/2010 20:41

Didn;t her with the gravelly voice become the agony aunt? (Altheimers, someone help me out)

badgermonkey · 07/02/2010 20:41

Tidworth is nearly all Tesco, from what I saw of it. And a bike/sports shop, owned by my BIL, which is, directly or indirectly, the source of much family strife.

They never mention East Yorkshire. In fact in that "eat for £5" thing there is Yorkshire - West, Yorkshire-North and Yorkshire- South and that is all. We do not even exist.

cornsilk · 07/02/2010 20:42

Has anyone actually joined their wine club? Is it crap?

Bella32 · 07/02/2010 20:42

Have been buying it to collect mastheads for a £25 M&S voucher (too late to start now, gals - sorry) but it really is pants.

Good for lighting the fire, though

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:42

mrs mills is aa gill i heard

he needs a hobby

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:42

ooh really badger
will they sort oft buckling bmx wheels?

cornsilk · 07/02/2010 20:43

coco what's the eye thing called? (did see the original eye thing thread but can't be arsed to search it out)

EleanorBuntingCupcake · 07/02/2010 20:43

i don't bother, after hte fifieth article about some bloody actress 'curled' up on a sofa looking 'younger and more prettier' in real life and 'tucking into (insert poncy high carb food here)' i just stopped. they are shite. stop buying.

and there are only so many time you can have fashio spreads with geeky thin men wearing argyle cardigans and looking ironic

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/02/2010 20:43

Yes travel tips very good. But am only going to Morocco not in the market for hols to Mautitius.

Where the FUCK is Tidworth, people.

AA Gill makes me laugh because he slags off Gloucestershire (where I live) for being up itself, when it isn't anything special, and with which I agree.

I like it's smell.

cocolepew · 07/02/2010 20:43

I'm a liar, I really lived in Shipton Bellinger. We had a Spar.

Cyb · 07/02/2010 20:44

We used to get it, I read 10% of it, tutted at the rest and lobbed it out for the recycling. Lifes much better with no newspapers.

cocolepew · 07/02/2010 20:44

It's the new Garnier rolly bally thingy.

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:44

lol at shipton bellinger
i think ( weird venn diagram cross over moment here) that aa gill once dissed a restaurnat in marlborough.

there
that is ne wiltshire covered

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:45

marlborough also has teh DIRTIEST ( in all senses of the word) garage in the world

once day i am going to go in with a lighter and burn all their porn

cornsilk · 07/02/2010 20:46

Also it pisses off my mum which amuses me. She thinks she'll catch middle class syndrome by touching it. I know she reads it on the sly when she comes round though so I leave it lying next to her favourite spot on the couch.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/02/2010 20:46

Good article todasy I think re wags in News Review.

And that's it. The rest was just lifestyle crap really.

Also the Scarf cartoons are enough to give nightmares.

I do like Robert C. An all round good bloke imo (with nice big brown eyes).

Cyb · 07/02/2010 20:46

There not many porn garages left. its probably listed.
