Reply to: So bored with CUK I've gone and begun a subscription with The Times

It's good to absorb a wide spectrum of viewpoints & analysis, and particularly to listen to those you disagree with.

Yes it is. Kind of like know thy enemy. I also read recruitment weekly "how to milk the cows into submission" and der spiegel from time to time.

Why are you not buying local newspapers? You cannot possibly be interested in the UK after all the sweeping critical generalisations you seem to enjoy making against it.
You are a European now and the Times is as anti Euro and anti federalist as you can get.

No annoying advert telling me 'Expat abroad, you need an account with £$bl32'

He tells it like it is.


Giles Coren reviews Massimo, London SW1

The dining room is vast and made of marble. The ceiling is so high that if you brought the Hubble telescope in here it would eventually start beaming back images of the cornicing only long after your grandchildren had died.

Buying papers is a mug's game now.

I bought 2 rolls yesterday. I suppose I could have gone to macdonalds instead.

Not paying for news. Hoping I'm paying for quality journalism, the Guardian and Torygraph are becoming so repetitive and predictable.

They've all gone down the drain in the last couple of years.

I was paying for the Times or the Mail a few weeks ago, to read on the tube, thinking a freebie like the Metro must be a worthless rag.

But I've stopped now, having found the Metro is as good, or no less bad, than the others.

Buying papers is a mug's game now.

But let us know how you get on - it will be interesting to compare the written word with big pictures

I'm not sure you'll get quality journalism, mostly opinion these days- although their lead sports and science writers used to be OK- but I'm not sure if they still write

When a man is tired of CUK, he is tired of life, as Dr Johnson would have said.....if he had a login.

Bet that wasn't in his dictionary.

What would I get for a £5?

News. Doom. House prices. What I had for lunch and a hand shandy & free chips from a greasy spoon owner in Bute. (though actually not sure that last bit is a good deal)

Give me £5 a week and I promise CUK will be more exciting.
