    The Supreme leader comrade Brown features quite heavily - he's quite hard to miss

    I like Private Eye though - does that count?
    Depends on whose privates you are eyeing?

    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.

    I buy the Sun Dear Deidre 7:30am in the morning

    We have the internet for real time news - News Papers just provide a snapshot of the current news at the time of going to press..
    I don't buy daily but I do like a weekend paper over breakfast.

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