So glad OW is now extinct. LOL at TMMJ on Polly Vernon.

Still no arsing week's telly guide though. I am still pining for the Observer, whilst chewing my way worthily through the Saturday Guardian - sigh!

mrsshackleton · 12/11/2009 16:46

I think they're bringing back the telly guide on Sun

I am very . have a close relly who works on one of those supplements (Not Woman, which was shite but I shall miss its shiteness). Insiders reckon that the Guardian is closing the supplements so fewer people will buy the Obs, so they can then justify closing it down

again

Oooh, that would be good MrsS. Can someone who gets it report in next week to say if it's back - don't care about all the programme review bits - just want the whole week's listings.

Oh that's a sahme. I quite liked it.

bibbitybobbityhat · 12/11/2009 17:20

Hooray. It was excrutiating.

Am also very pleased to see the sport supplement is going because dh has been collecting them since issue 1 and has the full set with the binders and everything. I was worried about when it was going to stop because we only live in a 3 bed house.

It's probably too late to change anyone's mind but Polly Vernon is a great interviewer. I liked this heather mills and this one graydon carter recently.

Interesting theory mrsshackleton - it certainly seems commercial suicide to close the mags down; very hard to justify the £2 price without them.

TheDampSquibOfSeptimusQuench · 12/11/2009 21:00

I am very glad to hear this

They printed some right old tosh didn't they?

lisianthus · 13/11/2009 12:51

I liked it. I also liked the Food one. I didn't find anything in Music or Sport vaguely interesting though.

onebatmother · 13/11/2009 20:16

They're all doomed! all of them! doomed I tell you!

MeAndMyMonkey · 13/11/2009 20:21

Oh dear, I rather liked it too, but I am unashamedly superficial.

RamblingRosa · 14/11/2009 14:41

I liked it too .

Prunerz · 16/11/2009 00:24

The food supplement is staying, though, isn't it?
I would gladly pay £2 for a paper with good journalism, fewer columns and no supplement that made me weep with despair

Am to say that someone in my household bought the Observer recently and last night I discovered it in the living room, with a copy of OFW (the one with gay dads on the cover). I flicked through it and actually though it sounded quite good .

Looks like it's changed since I last read it.

Oh well.
