The f****** Daily Mail

I have always been ‘ left leaning’, nearly falling over
, but in recent years couldn’t find a newspaper that entertained (is that the right word)like the Mail, Gone are the days of Daily Herald and Reynolds News..showing my age there. Like many of you only read the parts by journalists that appeal and ignore the rest.BTW the Nectar points come in handy?‍♀️

tickingbird I think you're right.

The TV Times is over-priced, I think, Curlywhirly; we only used to buy it at Christmas.

I think people confuse the online version with the actual newspaper. The free, online version is badly written by junior, would be journos, with odd articles by real journalists. The actual newspaper is far better and regardless of your political persuasion, does have some very good articles on a variety of subjects.

Having said that, I haven’t bought any newspaper for ages.

I used to enjoy the News of the World! Now you can't beat that for some 70's naughty sauciness (when I still felt naughty and saucy!)

Katek you are right, but I am a bit of a traditionalist, prefer a book to a kindle and a printed TV listing over an internet listing. The magazine also has articles regarding up and coming programmes, cookery and gardening. Suppose I could try the TV times instead - I wonder if it's cheaper than the Mail on Saturday?

I’m just surprised that some if you still buy a tv magazine ..... even as a supplement!

Both Tory supporting newspapers too!

It's Monty in his braces that does it for me, Lucca

I am missing his weekly column in the DM Saturday magazine.

The Sun remains the best-selling national newspaper with a circulation of 1.26m, only 100,000 copies above nearest rival the Daily Mail.15 Aug 2019

Odd that isn't it? Nobody buys it, everybody hates it, but it's the 2nd most popular newspaper in the UK.

Luca. Your so wrong!. Men really did buy it for the pictures, no reading.

I thought that a Gemini would read a range of newspapers.

And TV magazines too!!

Your right there ?
Now I have the vision of Burt Reynolds on the bearskin rug, ahhh ?

I like the TV guide.
The only time I saw a men's mag was when I was invited up to a friend's tree house. The walls had girlie pictures plastered around.

We were both about 9 at the time!!

I like the TV guide and I've never seen any girlie pictures in it, let alone any pictures of toy boys.
Oh, I forgot, wotsisname, Poldark, topless.
Does nothing for me, alas.

There was an article in the TV guide once about my ancestors though, very interesting!

I think Playboy's readers were keen on d.i.y.
I expect that's what the articles were about.

I'm a Pisces .

Funny those who buy it just because the TV guide is so good A but like men bought Playboy for the interesting articles...(no double entendre intended)

How could you be so tolerant and broadminded?!
It's just not allowed on GN.

Good job the site is anonymous, Fennel.

I'm a secret online DM reader, but I'm selective. Never read the side column about celebs (well hardly ever.)
And I avoid other stories that I find disturbing.
The DM has happy stories about pets and young children. and some of the political ones are interesting to get a balance.
I've got links to the Independent and Guardian too.
They're all biased one way or another.

MissAdventure. That’s exactly what I was thinking. Maybe there are some people who simply can’t resist having a peep at it in the supermarket before changing their mind and buying the Guardian hence why they seem so well informed.

Bought the Mail on Sunday for the first time in a long while. It was awful. How could what was a good newspaper some years ago descend in to this. Really just a rag.

Rarely buy newspapers and this has convinced me not to try again.

Nobody reads the mail, but everyone knows all about it.
How strange.

I'm not in the habit of wanting to annoy myself.

I find other people can do that and that's quite enough for me!!
