I thought they said they were "draining the swamp"....not relocating the sub-protozoan's to another location....get ready for the inevitable "Yes folks, now everday is a super soaraway Sunday!"...or words to that effect.
Lets hope it has a short print run.
You would have thought / hoped that after recent disclosures, the share holders at News Corp would have said why bother.....alas, seemingly not.
Finger on the pulse there Crystal. Do you know how much money the News of the screws made? If you did, what clearly you don't, you would realise that News corp would be back on that particular bandwagon as quick as humanly possible.
It's a business, in it for the money and there is an awful lot of money in the working class desire for salcious nonsense on Sundays. On account of them being under educated and unquestioning automata as we all know.
Recently cancelled my subscription to The Sunday Times and feel totally liberated by not having to chuck three quarters of it straight into the recycling and plough my way through the remainder, which was mainly rubbish. My Sunday reading is now Saturday's Times, and I dont feel the need to order another "Sunday"

" Finger on the pulse there Crystal.....do you know how much money"
etc
Another utterance from the Gospel of St Sproggy....alas, the item below may give you cause to review you perceptions....in short, both rags could close tomorrow ( wishful thinking I know ) and the financial loss would be minimal....

Much like your patronising manner & political outlook KC, that article is hugely past it's use by date. Do keep up, there's a good dinosaur.
On my wrist right now is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, or so it says on the dial. I have had it five years and it keeps perfect time, the finish has not worn off, but it has required a new stainless steel wrist band. My brother-in-law brought it back from Vietnam for me, and he says it didn't cost anything like 50 quid. More like five.......
Boosting OFSO's thread drift, I had a nice Tag Heuer which cost about a tenner in the Karama market in Dubai. Kept perfect time, but the battery died and I was advised that jewellers will confiscate fakes. I must haul the back off it.
Over the last 30 years I bought about 5 newspapers. Two were 'Sunday Times' plastic bag-fulls. All were 50% full of cra*p and adverts.
Spent a bit on books, though.
When community recycling came into 'vogue', I noticed that most Sunday papers were in the skip by Wednesday.
I still have all my books.
Good advice from G-CPTN, Magnus. I took my fake Tag Heur to our local market stall where the nice lady changed the battery for £3.50. Meanwhile an acquaintance who had a genuine one (so good you could mistake it for the fake!) told me that when his battery died the jeweller tried to tell him he would have to have it done as part of a "service" costing £50! Needless to say he declined and took it down the market.

Long time since I bought a dead-tree version of a newspaper. I'm not going near the "Torygraph" if they're going to print crap like this: a hack so desperate to smear someone that he investigates his family history and finds an ancestor who probably owned a few slaves 250 years ago. You and half of England, matey ...
