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?

Oh yes I remember now coco. Must make a mental note. Will tie a scarf round the door handle to remind me.

i want a list to check them off and give them marks out of ten

My mum has always hated me reading the ST for some reason. She is somewhat to the left of Dennis Skinner and thinks my reading a paper like that is a Betrayal.

Yes I read the WAGS article. It's a hard life - poor loves.

Completely agree with OP, but its such an ingrained habit, and DH seems to like it.
Weekend paper reading has improved a lot since I started buying the Saturday Guardian. Such a nice contrast to the Times. The money section is actually readable as it is more about how to spend less than how to invest all that extra money you have. And the family section is really nice. Plus I never finish it on saturday so I have plenty left over to read first thing on sunday before the times arrives on the doorstep.

TheElephant · 07/02/2010 20:49

yes i hate the money section
its all about saving for private education.

How does a pig have knuckles anyway? (apart from Pinky and perky)

QuintessentialSnowStorm · 07/02/2010 20:52

GetOrf.... tis probably the paper which will report to you MY LOCAL event, reindeer ski racing, next sunday. Relevant to MY life, as I was there, but not to many of you guys....

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/02/2010 20:52

Fennel is a non ingredient. Horrible taste which pervades evertyhitng.

Would prob not read Saturday Times but really like Caitlin and Matthew Parris, plus even though I hate, loathe and despise Coren I am secertely drawn to his awful columns.

India Knight best columnist imo.

Cyb · 07/02/2010 20:54

how do remember all this stuff? . I think my Altzheimers is more advanced than I first thought

cornsilk · 07/02/2010 20:54

Yes I like Caitlin and I like India. But who is best?

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/02/2010 20:54

Lol at Reindeer racing. Christ. MY local event is the yearly Cheese Rolling. I know which one I would prefer to have on my doorstep.

I don't know which paper actually has any relevance to my life. Probably bloody none of them

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/02/2010 20:56

Though I love them both (they are MNers are they not?)
