I like Private Eye though - does that count?

No mention of the Daily Star then. Is that classed as a newspaper?

I buy the Mail on Saturday for the TV guide. The actual newspaper lights the woodburner.

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.

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.

Well actually I lied a bit. I do read the sports pages but only on the web.
And I do like Mr. Jones.
