I get the Sun a couple of times a week, purely because a bloke stands outside the office at lunchtime selling it for 20p. I have yet to find anything worth reading in it. Even Dear Deirdre isn't as good as it used to be.Comment

In the midst of an SC contract, there was a three month haitus, with very little work. Being SC, they didn't want to let us go. So we got all the papers, and did the crosswords. ( No internet access in those days ).
After three months intensive research, we decided that the Times crossword was the best.
So, if you take the Times, it means you are a security cleared contractor with little work to do, but still charging your daily rate.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

No mention of the Daily Star then. Is that classed as a newspaper?Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

teet... hmmm they've turned it down a little, I couldn't post 'teeth' last week.Last edited by gingerjedi; 16 November 2007, 12:47.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 JohnsonComment

Im don't read papers, watch the news or read the bbc news website. If something important happens I'll know about it. I don't even read the free papers they give out on the tube (Metro, London Lite etc).
I like Private Eye though - does that count?"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment
