        I used to get the Sunday Times but it got too big and I feared for the future of our planet with all those cute little trees being cut down so it had to go.

        I don't see the point in getting a daily as its always 24 hours out of date.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Telegraph Mon-Fri (news, sport, business and Alex is second to none)
          Nothing on Sat
          Cant decide on Sun. Gave up on Sunday Times as it's utter garbage, tried Observer but business section is total crap. Don't like Telegraph on Sunday for some reason

          I have a visceral hatred of the Mirror (the chief political editor calls Brown 'Big Gordie' FFS) and the Mail and Express.

                Me too sometimes, but getting more sporadic now as it's definitely going downhill slightly. They've apparently sacked a lot of their reporters, and it shows. (Unfortunately they haven't sacked that pompous windbag Simon Heffer though.)

                Also, I've seen more and more spelling mistakes recently, and they've taken to using tabloid slang such as "boffins" instead of "scientists".

                If the online newspaper websites weren't so hellishly slow and riddled with flashy adverts, and were the full paper, I'd only ever use them.

                  That day can't come soon enough, pompous windbag is exactly the right description. Apparently there is a big rivalry between the Telegraph and Mail - and a flow of journalists between the two, so hence the dumbing down of the DT. I don't quite get the rivalry though, I'd sooner read the Sun than the Mail.
