No more Sunday Times

[pacharan]

Been saying this for ages but that's it. I'm not buying it any Santos.

First ting that happens when I sit down and open the plastic .bag cintaing the supplements us that I get deluged in unwanted publicity. I then have to get up out of my chair and gather up all the crap that has floated to all 4 corners of the room and stick it in the bin.

Then there's the content. It's a load of neo liberal claptrap. It used to be a conservative rag but now it runs stuff from the likes of Simon Jenkins, Dominic Lawson and India Knight.

AND THERE ARE TOO MANY SECTIONS THAT I DON'T READ!

The only things I buy it for are Rod Middle, Jeremy Clarkson (though he's losing his Nikon) and Winners Dinners.

Just don't think its worth it any more.

I haven't bought any opinionpaper for 5 years. Not even to wipe my arse with.

WHS

There are better things to do with that time and easier/cheaper ways of staying abreast of current events.

You need to give your butler a serious talking to.

He should be preparing the paper for you so you only get the parts that you are interested in.

I got it last week funnily enough, first time in years, for the sudukio fiendish.

I found the best thing about it was the plastic wrapping it came in, because I was looking for something to stuff all the bits in, so I could bin them, and that bag was a perfect fit

[Sysman]

I haven't bought it for about 10 years.

In the eighties it provided a good summary of the week's news for those of us too busy during the week, had decent science articles etc.

I just got bored with it in the end.

Yep, that's why I gave it up years ago. You throw away 80% of the paper, which 80% depends on your interests.

In the end I found I was only reading Dear Deirdre and ogling Page 3

(on hang on, or was NOTW that I stopped reading? It was a Murdoch rag anyway)

WHS - Only pensioners buy the sunday papers these days

(or the saturday ones, or the any day of the week ones come to that)
