With today's global economy and the International lifestyle that many of us lead, I find that a newspaper that encompasses the globe is required reading
-
I no longer see the need for papers or even news related websites.
Everything I need to know in order to make informed decisions about my life is posted here. Usually with the important bits highlighted so that I don't have to read the whole thing.
I especially like it when someone adds an opinion for me to take in italics. It's most helpful as it saves me the bother of thinking about what I've just skimmed.
Keep up the good work.

Originally posted by bobsmithldn View PostHave you stopped reading the newspapers, especially the tabloids like The Times and the Telegraph, Daily Mail is the worst culprit due to the daily Doom and Gloom articles ... Britain is being talked into a BAD recession ...
2. Although I would never pay money for the Mail, I can't believe it's more doom-laden than the Telegraph which is awfully depressing at present.
3. Papers never report any good news.
4. The poll option I need is "I only read papers I get free in the hotel or find on a train"

Audience, am I right or what? C'mon!
Meanwhile, back on the board, it's best not to take what people say here too seriously. If Doom is really around the corner for the UK economy, having a few quid in the bank and a few BTL houses is not going to save anyone.

I suspect the Dim one has a similar motivation. Oh and there's being bored tulipless doing this tulip and looking for some entertainment
nice!

I have two theories about you:
1. You aren't as solvent and sorted as you make out to be and you're pretending to revell in other people's misfortune.
2. You're sorted and haven't got anything better to do with your life than letch at unfortunate people. A dose of modesty might serve you well.
Most of us are also comfortable, however we don't brag about it continually!
Audience, am I right or what? C'mon!
I think 3 is about right. bobsmith, you're taking it all too seriously...
